Can Cyberpunk 2077 Run on PS4 and Xbox One? Probably

Cyberpunk 2077 seems to be poised to release in or around the transition moment between two generations, but can it run on PS4 and Xbox One? It probably can.

Yes, but compromises will absolutely be made.

Abriael2094d ago

Oh for sure. That always happens, but in my opinion the PC version will actually look more different (better) than what we have seen now, than the PS4/Xbox One version. A lot can be done with nearly-invisible optimization like LOD and such.

Could Witcher 3 run on the 360 and PS3? Technically they could have gotten it to, but CDPR chose not to do so. They wanted players on the console to get the best experience possible on that platform so they where one of the first titles to be next-gen exclusive only. I look at CyberPunk 2077 and see this being the same case here. The reality is that the "next-gen" of consoles will be upon us, sooner than later. My guess is 2020, so I can see them simply waiting until then to release the game on consoles and PC at the same time, going next-gen only, once again. If this was any other company I would say it would be a cross-gen game, but this is CDPR so I am thinking next-gen only. Plus, by 2020 graphics cards will be more affordable as well.

@cleft5: this game has been a massive investment for CD Projekt. It's extremely, EXTREMELY unlikely that they'll ignore 150+ million installed base. They need to sell all the copies than they can.

sprinterboy2093d ago

The article is about ps4/xbox one, not it will look better on pc?
Do one and F/O back to tinkering with your pc.

lxeasy2094d ago

It can definitely run better on Xbox One X then Xbox one and PS4. Compromise will definitely be made on PS4 and Xbox one

.....Very thoughtful analysis. How did you arrive at this conclusion?

joab7772094d ago

It’s absolutley a cross gen game. And I’m fine with that. It will be like GTA 5 was w PS3. We will wonder how they are able to do it.

I just hope that b/c it’s release will be so early next gen that we either get a lot of dlc, or another CDPR game next gen.

dumahim2093d ago

I just hope they don't wait over a year to release it on the next gen system like GTA did.

Nodoze2094d ago

MADE for a PC. Frankly I have been putting off a new build long enough. This may well be the title that puts me on a new PC.

The release window here is at least one year away, late 2019. Realistically with huge games of this type unforeseen delays seem virtually inevitable and the developer said they won't be rushed. This is a 2020 game we're talking about.

At that point Xbox One and PS4 will be over 6 years old. Pretty dated hardware and there will be another new generation of 7nm PC graphics hardware out by early 2020. The high end is guaranteed much faster than the as yet released RTX2080ti! Simply because the manufacturing process will enable another good leap. A mainstream, mid range graphics card by early 2020 will be at least twice as fast as an Xbox One X, let alone the huge gulf for the older machines. Again, guaranteed.

There is no doubt the game will run on those consoles, but it'll not really look much like the PC version with settings cranked by 2020. I fancy it'll be a cross generational console game, with a new gen version whenever the new consoles appear.

Much like for example Rise of The Tomb Raider or Forza Horizon 2, on 360 and Xbox One. Or most famously GTA5 spanning two console generations after being released right at the end of one.

capjacksparrow2094d ago

If the developer said so, then one would hope. It will be downscaled a bit compared to PC. But on the plus side, it will still look pretty good while also being playable. Most people will need to upgrade their PC just to play this, they'd have to spend way more just to have optimal settings. If they launched it as a cross gen game, I'd definitely get the PS5 version.

porkChop2094d ago

It'll run. But the graphics, physics, etc., will need to be scaled back. It's pretty much a next gen game.

Cyberpunk 2077 Director On 95% Positive Steam Rating: "Never Thought I'd See It"

Cyberpunk 2077 has come a long way from being one of the worst games on the planet to being one of the best ones.

DustMan13d ago

I shelved it after a few hours in game at launch, glad I didn't refund it. One of the few games I've actually completed in the last year, and after finishing the campaigns I wanted to just jump back in from the start. They pulled a No Mans Sky and finished one of the best FPS in the last few years.

Games That Were Bad on Release, But Are Now Great

BLG writes, "Some of the most popular games have had a rough start, with some of them being downright unplayable.

Despite that, developers have managed to turn it around for them and make their game worth playing. Here are some games that had a rough start but were pretty great."

Good list..hoped to see Street Fighter 5 there..and it is.

Vits25d ago (Edited 25d ago )

Sea of Thieves... I'm not disagreeing that the game has improved in terms of content. But I feel that the most significant change between now and its release is actually the public perception. Nowadays, most people are aware that the game is a multiplayer PvP-focused experience first and foremost, and not "Black Flag made by Rare". Consequently, people dismissing the whole experience because the single-player aspect is lacking or the story is plain are much less common.

darthv7225d ago

Several years ago, i submitted an idea to Rare that would change up the mechanics of battling opponents in the game. whereby if you died in battle, you turned into a skeleton warrior and had to fight your way back to the land of the living. It was an interesting twist on respawning and would allow the player to experience both sides of a battle.

I keep hoping to see something like that get added to the game.

Kaii25d ago

They consider FO 76 & ME Andromeda to be great now 🤭

anast25d ago

Every game in the last 2 decades...

INMATEofARKHAM25d ago

It's sad that this quick retort is more often than not true... The industry's acceptance of release and patch has gone too far.

gunnerforlife24d ago

Days gone! By the end of the game I couldn't drop it down! I went around so many hours killing zombies! It was addictive by the end.

S2Killinit24d ago

That game was just plain good game. It didnt improve, it was just good.

gunnerforlife24d ago

I don't know, I got it abit late, and struggled for a few days, and then all of a sudden it just got good!!

Well they are using unreal engine now thanks to there work culture and horrific job on making cyberpunk so for the future no impact.

But it will be interesting to see what mods will be made

just_looken37d ago

7 disagrees shows how many look at one dlc that had a rip off fight from ghost in the shell and goes wow what a goat team i love cdpr while ignoring that they only made 2 games that were good witcher 2/3 in 20yrs.

But its a new world we want a criminal that support's legal murder as president/support shoplifting love toxic work environments and have a mass casualty event every other day.

GhostMirror36d ago

I’ll admit I didn’t play it at launch, but Cyberpunk 2077 is a really good game now.

And who the hell knows what you’re even going on about in your second paragraph here.

EazyC37d ago

Wait a min...I swear to god CP2077's source code got leaked before. CDPR needs to stop using "password123" for all their accounts 😅

just_looken37d ago

Na its hundreds ex employees no doubt just getting there revenge.

Profchaos36d ago (Edited 36d ago )

This is the same leak the threat actors have been trying to sell the source code after cd project didn't pay the ransom.

They didn't manage to sell the source code to any company largely because it would be unethical for say EA to buy it so the threat actors failed to find a buyer.

After they failed to make any money they went through with their threat of simply giving it away.
