" According to a Polish insider Borys Niespielak, the main reason for Cyberpunk 2077 delay lies in current-gen consoles, which are reportedly not powerful enough to run the game properly.

Speaking in a podcast, Niespielak says that the original Xbox One console is not powerful enough to run the game properly and apparently, Cyberpunk 2077 performance on the console is "extremely unsatisfactory".

Borys' sources confirmed that if "this problem with Xbox has not been solved by January 2020, the release date must be postponed."

Now, we would suggest that you take these rumours with a grain of salt, just like any other unofficial info but it would not be the first time that consoles have caused problems to CD Projekt Red. You may remember that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt received a pretty noticeable downgrade close to its release, and apparently, the reason for that was entirely due to consoles.

As for the source, over at Discord, Polish players are pretty confident in Borys Niespielak, who seems to be as renowned as Jason Schreier in Poland. Discord user Klawiaturodzierzca even translated the best bits from the podcast and you can check them out in the screenshot below:

All in all, this is some pretty big news if true and we can only hope that CD Projekt Red will find a way to properly optimise Cyberpunk 2077 without any downgrades. Surely they cannot let it happen to them again, not after The Witcher 3 backlash anyway."

In my opinion this is normal for multiplatform games because the games need to be design for all cross platform and optimize.

I do wander if CDPR are great at making games and optimizing games. It will be pure hell to other developer especially if they are making games for both Next gen and at the same time for current gen. Some sacrifice might happen if it's develop for both gen,  either on next gen version or current gen version or probably both ended up bad and on top of that need a lot of times to optimize. 

That's why developing exclusives on single platform and single gen is great for gamers and developer but bad for publisher.

The game doesent look that amazing.

Worst case scenario, it probably runs like Mass Effect 1 on consoles.

Same problem with Scalebound that it couldn't run stable enough on the XBOX One. Could you imagine if they just cancel the XBOX One version because of MICROSOFT's policy.



I probably wouldn't enjoy playing this game anyway. More interested in the Keanu Reeves cinematics and I can just watch those. That being said I think my 980ti would at least do good, not great, at running this thing.



Reading the article it only mentions original Xbox One. What about Ps4?

If horizon zero dawn can run almost perfect, then this game should to.

Okay I edited the title to match the original source.

I'm pretty sure a 980 Ti can Max out this game at 1080p.



Official member of VGC's Nintendo family, approved by the one and only RolStoppable. I feel honored.

That's the main reason why I purchased the XBOX One S was because at the time it was a cheap alternative 4K Blu-ray player. The sad part is that it doesn't support Dolby Vision in terms of 4K UHD Blu-ray playback and MICROSOFT said that there will be an update for it. I guess MICROSOFT cannot be trusted on all fronts and I will not be fooled leading into next gen. Doesn't matter anyways because I'm sure they lost money on my purchase because I purchased my S brand new back in 2016 with 10 games from EB Games and since then I haven't purchased Gold or Gamepass and all of the games that I've purchased have been used copies. Now if they bring the Dolby Vision update then I'd be willing to support them if not then they can go screw themselves

3 weeks ago I bought RX 5700 XT mainly for this game... it has been delayed to Septemeber since but I still hope I can max it at 1440p 60 fps with my new GPU.

Also this is a prime example that base Xbox One is already holding back current generation games, so can't imagine how hard on devs next 2 years will be.

What? Haven't you heard? Being forced to develop for two underpowered consoles, compared to PS5 and XBSX, won't hinder devs whatsoever. /s
