Cyberpunk 2077 & The Witcher 3's Next-Gen Versions Have Been Delayed To 2022

We've got some bad news, as CD Projekt Red has confirmed today that the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S versions of both Cyberpunk 2077 and The Witcher 3 will now be launching in 2022 instead of 2021.

In a report published earlier today, it was explained that "based on recommendations supplied by persons supervising development, it has [been] decided to allocate additional time to both projects." The next-gen version of Cyberpunk 2077 will now launch in the first quarter of 2022, and The Witcher 3 in the second quarter of 2022.

None of us are probably too surprised by the delay to Cyberpunk 2077, but The Witcher 3 does seem a little unexpected, given that the Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S versions of the game were rated by PEGI earlier this week.

Ultimately, we're all just going to have to wait a little longer to get hands-on with those free next-gen upgrades.
