Will Cyberpunk 2077 come on PS5 or Xbox Scarlett? "We are going to watch this," says Dev

Finally, Cyberpunk 2077 has recently a release date. The new game will be launched in April 2020, but it puts it close to the end of this generation of consoles; Next spring is about six months before the planned launch of Project Scarlett on Xbox and possibly PlayStation 5. Although Microsoft and Sony have openly discussed the two new consoles, the release of Cyberpunk 2077 has not been confirmed on the new generation hardware. For now, nothing has changed about this, but the CD Projekt Red developer is exploring the possibility of using the PS5 and Scarlett versions of the Cyberpunk 2077, according to the high-level designer Miles Tost.

He told GamerHubTV that CD Projekt Red is currently focused on the current generation of consoles and PCs, although the studio is also considering next-generation systems. "We are going to watch [next-generation consoles] and go, "Maybe?" But this is not our area of ​​interest at the moment. "

"Of course, we are looking at what is happening in the gaming industry because we are part of it and we must always look forward," he said. "But at the same time, we're a studio that really focuses on the work we're doing now, so we're focusing our attention on the next-generation and PC consoles, who knows? [we’ll support next-gen consoles]. But until that [Cyberpunk 2077 launches in April 2020]we have one thing to do. And as for what I heard, the new generation consoles … Xbox just announced that we will celebrate the holidays of 2020. So, this is not really a concern for us now, because this comes well after the release of our game. "

The Scarlett project is launched by 2020, while the PlayStation 5 has also been launched. Most recently, analyst firm Cowen & Company released a report confirming that Sony's new system should be released in the fall / during the holidays.

The Scarlett project and the PlayStation 5 are already confirmed for backward compatibility. Cyberpunk 2077 should be able to play on the new consoles. Both systems are more powerful than the most robust computer hardware of the current generation. Tost will probably talk about the next-generation consoles in terms of the features that the new hardware could allow Cyberpunk 2077 to achieve.

Cyberpunk 2077 will be released on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC on April 16, 2020. The actor Matrix Keanu Reeves plays a major role in the game, even though he will not sing unfortunately. Meanwhile, the latest Projekt Red CD, The Witcher 3, is for Nintendo Switch.
