From the developers behind The Witcher series CD Projeck RED, Cyberpunk 2077 was shown for the first time at E3 2018 with a trailer and 50-minute exclusive gameplay demo for press. So far the game looks extremely ambitious tech wise due to both the game’s visuals and the amount of NPCs and environmental items that are placed on screen with the player at any given time.

Back in March 2018 during an interview with CD Projekt RED president Adam Kiciński and VG247, Kiciński stated Cyberpunk was being built with next-gen consoles in mind saying, “Technology-wise, Cyberpunk is very advanced. Our technology is ready to interface with future generations… The game is developed in such a way that it can use very powerful future equipment.”

The demo at E3 was running on PC, but CD Projekt RED level designer Max Pears stated in an interview with Metro UK that the quality seen in the demo would be the same when it came to PS4. When questioned about how all other PS4 games on the E3 show floor didn’t look as impressive, Pears says, “This is the thing now, we’ve got a great team. So we’re gonna be trying our hardest to push the envelope. We’ve got the right people and the right minds to get this there for it.”

While there is no doubt the game is coming to this generation of consoles, from the way CD Projekt RED’s developers talk about the technology involved to make a game of this size and complexity, it doesn’t seem unlikely it will also release for future consoles with more technological capabilities.

There is no official date or even window for Cyberpunk yet, but 2019-2020 seems likely, which is around when we might start expecting the reveal of the next generation PlayStation and Xbox consoles. Much like the release of Grand Theft Auto V first on Xbox 360 and PS3 in September 2013 and then for Xbox One and PS4 in April 2015, we could see Cyberpunk 2077 split between this gen and next with a superior option for next-gen purchasers.
