Cyberpunk 2077 postponed due to optimization problems on PS4 and Xbox One? CD Projekt responds

You know it, Cyberpunk 2077 has been pushed back to September. CD Projekt evoked then the need for more time to fine-tune the game before offering it to players, but imagine according to a insider Polish, well it would be … because the title didn’t go well enough on the home consoles.


So yes, this Borys Niespielak only repeats what we have already said CD Projekt, and Cory Barlog, director of God of War, had fun sure Twitter remembering that not all games work well until they have been optimized for the platform, and that this is the last step before the game is gold, and therefore finished. So of course, it is now necessary to know how the optimization of Cyberpunk 2077 will happen. With bug fixes? Code changes to improve the game? A downgrade ? You’ll probably have to wait for the title to come out to find out, the developers still used QLOC, company specialized in quality assurance tests, to ensure that Cyberpunk 2077 turns like a charm when launched.

Anyway, Cory Barlog’s reaction did not go unnoticed, and a member of CD Projekt provided some answers to the postponement of Cyberpunk 2077 sure Polish studio forums.

Cory Barlog has pinpointed the problem. Of course, we optimize for Xbox One, for PlayStation 4 and for the PC, because that’s what you do in the final moments of game development. While the game is being created, a lot of things are not optimized , because they are all moving, changing and still not finished. Simple answers like “They delayed the game because of X” might make a good rumor, but don’t contain much truth. There are always several reasons. Among them, and I can speak for myself: simply to fix bugs, so that the game is as neat as possible. No hidden calendars, just to improve the game.

As a reminder, CD Projekt has never shown us images of the PS4 or Xbox One versions of Cyberpunk 2077, enough to worry players on consoles, and imagine PS5 and Xbox Series X versions much more successful. Anyway, the developers will now spend several intensive months to optimize the title on all platforms, while waiting Cyberpunk 2077 to launch on September 17.
