Cyberpunk 2077 is set to release on PS4, Xbox One, PC and Stadia on December 10, 2020 following a third delay. CD Projekt Red is the studio behind this eagerly anticipated dystopian-set sci-fi RPG – the same studio that was also responsible for the success of the popular Witcher series.
Its release date now falls after the launch of the next-generation consoles, and it's still unclear when Cyberpunk 2077 will receive its free upgrade for PS5 and Xbox Series X.
The sprawling open-world game is set in Night City, a corporation-controlled metropolis situated in the Free State of California. You'll be able to forge your own path in this iconic neon city via three distinct and branching lifepaths and claim various weapons and gadgets that are heavily tied in with the cyberpunk genre.
With Cyberpunk 2077 suffering a 21-day delay possibly due to the PS4 and Xbox One ports, issues with crunch have become a hot-button topic at Polish studio CD Projekt Red. On a recent investor's call, joint CEO Adam Kicinski said that some members of the development team have been "crunching heavily," but most have finished their work. Kicinski also noted that the issue of crunch is "not that bad" because some employees are happy with the extra three weeks. He has since walked the statement back and apologized.
"Regarding crunch. Actually, it's not that bad--and never was," Kicinski said. "Of course it's a story that has been picked up by the media, and some people have been crunching heavily, but a large part of the team is not crunching at all since they have finished their work; it's mostly about Q&A and engineers, programmers--but it's not that heavy. Of course, it will be extended a bit, but we have feedback from the team; they're happy about the extra three weeks, so we don't see any threats regarding crunch."

If you're looking for something cyberpunk-themed to play while you wait for Cyberpunk 2077 to launch, the first-person action game Ghostrunner is an option. It plays like a mix of Dishonored and Titanfall, with smooth movement and a one-hit death system that turns every fight into a bloody puzzle.
