We're all well aware of the rocky launch suffered by Cyberpunk 2077 late last year, and since then, developer CD Projekt has started releasing a series of patches to try and fix technical issues with the game.
The team has a big job to get the game up to scratch on last-gen consoles specifically, but speaking to Reuters earlier this week, joint chief executive Adam Kicinski highlighted that the team was committed to fixing those problems:
“I don’t see an option to shelve Cyberpunk 2077. We are convinced that we can bring the game to such a state that we can be proud of it and therefore successfully sell it for years to come."
Most recently, the studio released the huge Patch 1.2 for Cyberpunk 2077 across all platforms which included a massive range of fixes, although it reportedly didn't do much for performance on Xbox One consoles.
The plan is still for the game to receive a free next-gen upgrade for Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S at some point later this year, although given the immense work being put into the last-gen game, we're not expecting to see it anytime soon.

Game needs A LOT more work than just bug fixes. It needs another 2-5 years of work just for it to be the game they said it would be.
Bought at launch. Played for a few hours. Now collecting dust till fully working and series X upgrade. Can be picked up for a third of the price it was a launch now. So wish I had of waited.
Nobody is going to wait. Most people will have moved on by the time they make good on this promise. Also, Deus Ex>Cyberpunk.
Nobody will care really. Everyones opinion about this game cemented and nothing will change it. Too many examples prove this. I also dont believe that this game will ever be finished
It just works
They kind of missed that opportunity when they released a game that nobody could be proud of.
A little less conversation, a little more action, please.
@NicolausCamp I was not ready for Elvis in my video games. Yet here we are. And I'm okay with it.
I got it on sale on PC and based on how it runs, it needs a big rewrite to asset streaming like Insomniac did between Sunset Overdrive and Spider Man. I have a 970 EVO NVMe SSD and Ryzen 3 3100 and there's tons of pop-in. God forbid an Xbox One with weak sauce Jaguar cores and a spinny disk.
Graphics perform well on 1080p high, and DLSS smoothes out all the drops below 60 FPS on my RTX 2060. Ray traced lighting almost performs well enough for me to put a 30 FPS cap but it drops too much to be worth it. Low lighting looks way worse and does not perform well enough to justify it. It's gonna be a long time until it performs well on base Xbox One, and given AMD ray tracing isn't much better than an RTX 2060 a next-gen patch will either target 60 or tank the FPS for ray tracing.
@gollumb82 A new Deus Ex would be amazing. Mankind Divided is underrated, and Cyberpunk 2077 won't be getting a sequel anytime soon. While I like open worlds not everything has to be open world and I think CDPR wasted tons of time that could have been spent making something functional like Deus Ex instead.
@Vincent294
Couldn't agree more. I prefer well-developed hubs (Mass Effect, Deus Ex) to open worlds. Human Revolution is in my top 5 games of all time and the soundtrack is arguably one of the best ever, too. Mankind Divided lacked a meaningful ending, but it's still a great game. I wish Square Enix would wake up and give us the third game in this new series, but with Outriders so popular right now I don't think it'll happen anytime soon
They will probably fix it eventually but why did they release it like that? It seems that they didn't want to disappoint fans delaying the game (remember the "we'll release it this year" statements) but they underestimated how difficult is to polish a big game. They also said that they are releasing The Witcher 3 next-gen upgrade this year but I think that they hired a studio for that.
