Various companies have been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic in recent weeks, and CD Projekt Red is no exception. The Cyberpunk 2077 developer has taken to Twitter to provide an update on its current situation, and have confirmed that plans remain on track to release the game on Xbox One this September.
In the update, the company indicates that it's been gradually rolling out preventative measures throughout the organisation. As of today, the company is switching to full remote work, but assures players that they are "rising to the challenge" and are "showing no signs of stopping" in getting Cyberpunk 2077 released on time.
You can see the full update in CD Projekt Red's tweet below:
The game has previously been delayed, of course. At E3 2019, it was announced to come out on April 16, 2020, but was eventually pushed back to September 17th. Whatever happens from here though, we're just hopeful everyone at CD Projekt Red remains safe during this difficult time.
Do you think we'll be playing Cyberpunk 2077 later this year? Give us your theories in the comments below.

Well I suppose it depends on how many of them are affected. Obviously their health comes first so if it has to be delayed so be it, no decent person will be annoyed if they have to delay due to staff off ill.
I'm not even sure the PS5/Xbox Series X will be released this year. Even if China manage to get back to normal fairly soon Europe is in complete lock down, and this is going to send a lot of countries into a recession.
The Witcher 3 was a disaster at launch, so I rather see them delay it if that means a better game at launch.
As I said in your sister site PushSquare, it’s all very well working remotely to get the game finished, but what about the manufacturing of the discs? In the current climate Blu-ray production plants may have to close or have a reduced output.
@Octane agreed. I'll take it when it's ready. I'm pumped to play it, but I can wait
I'm not going to get my hopes up for a September release considering it's already been delayed once. And it's completely understandable if it does get pushed back again due to the current events taking place around the globe.
