They are using that line for a long time already. For example June trailerI think it's good to precise that the game is also playable on next-gen consoles while the real next-gen version isn't out yet.
The television adverts that started recently have been showing that same thing at the end.
I just took it as "It'll play good via BC" - but the nextgen patch will still be next year.
"more robust" patch will arrive next year. So "less robust" patch at launch.
I thought that all games on PS4 released after Ghost of Tsushima had to be compatible with PS5 (or was it Last of Us 2?). Not surprised it'll run on next Xbox.
More robust yeah.
I guess I just don't find this as "new news?" I'd assume that if the game runs on next gen systems, which it does, it'd "play great" in BC mode. Or at least way better than the PS4 and Xbox One.
It would be great to know what great means. Does it play just ok on series S? :D
They had enough trouble getting the current version out by that date? There's not much to get tbh.Wait wait wait wait..... I didn't realise this. It comes out ON THE PS5 LAUNCH DAY...... But the next gen version is out later?
That's a really, really strange approach. I wonder what the reasoning is there?
But why not hold back and release the next gen versions and last gen versions together?They had enough trouble getting the current version out by that date? There's not much to get tbh.

They said this in a conference callAh. That's interesting. Maybe it'll be more than just BC then :)
As soon as either console is available, there'll be a day one update to Cyberpunk 2077 to improve visuals for the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions of the game

PS5/XSX will probably just have a res bump to 4K, not expecting anything major until the actual next-gen patch in 2021. Kinda weird we haven't seen actual PS4/XB1 footage yet btw. Maybe they're saving it for the next Night City Wire.
Because lots of people who play on PC or won't be getting a new console just yet will be mad at any delay for a next-gen release.But why not hold back and release the next gen versions and last gen versions together?
Maybe they'll release more information with the next Night City Wire video? Last time they revealed the PC specs, so hopefully they will give us more console info next.I wish they would just come out and say what this means. The game's already gone gold so I don't know what's keeping them.
I'm crossing my fingers this means it will have an option to uncapped the resolution and framerate.
So, 5 weeks to release, no console footage shown so far, cherrypicked gameplay was running on beastly PCs and still had problems to run smooth.
i fully expect this game to run really bad on base and mid gen consoles. and if the performance bump on next gen consoles relies on the boost mode it could very well be that it will also run subpar.
in short: native next gen version should have been there day one.
Actually, that's a key point that hadn't occurred to me - PC version. I think that's probably the main answer.Because lots of people who play on PC or won't be getting a new console just yet will be mad at any delay for a next-gen release.
Remember that the vast majority of Cyberpunk 2077 players in November will already own the hardware they're likely to be playing this game on. That means PS4, Xbox One and PC. The game is ready to roll for those players so it should release for their platforms. Next-gen players can wait.
