CD Projekt likes to surprise us. Their new announcement is about backward compatibility for console players.
On their new announcement via official Twitter account, we’ve been informed that Cyberpunk 2077 will be backwards compatible with both next-gen consoles.
PS4 copy of the game will work on PS5 on launch day. The same applies to Xbox, where anyone who buys game on Xbox One will be able to play their copy on Xbox Series X when the console launches too.
This sounds amazing. It looks like delay until November is not only to fix bugs and polish game but also to make sure it will be fully backwards compatible.
