Cyberpunk 2077’s PS4 version will be playable on PlayStation 5 as soon as the game launches, developer CD Projekt Red has said.
Anyone with a PS4 copy will be able to play that on PS5 and receive a free update to improve the game’s visuals on Sony’s next-gen machine.
The news, confirmed last night in an investor call, follows CD Projekt Red’s announcement in February it would support Microsoft’s Smart Delivery initiative for Xbox – meaning the free upgrade will work the same there for Xbox One copies on Xbox Series X.
The developer further clarified that this would not be the final update to buff the next-gen version of Cyberpunk 2077. A beefier version of the game optimised for Microsoft and Sony’s new machines will follow down the line – perhaps down the line – but again be available to PS4 and Xbox One owners free of charge.
