Current Gen Consoles Blamed For Cyberpunk Delay

We all know by now that the much anticipated CD Projekt Red title Cyberpunk 2077 is being delayed til September of this year. What we don't know is the reason why. 

Well a Polish insider by the name of Borys Niespielak has shed some light on this subject. 

According to Niespielak, the delay was because of the current gen consoles, more specifically, the Xbox 1, was having a hard time running the game.  

He 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'."

This was translated from Polish, so the translation could be off. 

Borys' sources confirmed that if CD Projekt Red couldn't figure out the issues by January 2020, they would be forced to delay the game until later that year for extra development time. 

A Discord user by the name of "Klawiaturodziezca" translated some of the best parts of the podcast to English.

This is not the first time that CD Projekt Red has had issues with the current gen of consoles. Back when the Witcher 3: Wild Hunt was released, the game got a significant down grade from what was originally shown to the public due to the console release of the game. 

As for Borys him self. He is pretty well known with in the Polish gaming community for being an insider and is compared to Jason Schreier from Kotaku as being somebody who knows what they are talking about when it comes to stuff like this. 

I have faith in the guys over at CD Projekt Red to fix whatever issues they are having with the title and yeah. Next-Gen is just around the corner. 

You can watch the entire podcast with the interview below, but be warned. It's all in Polish. However people have put English subtitles on it for you to read. 

As always, this is James with Game Fix. Game on everybody!

 I've also seen this becoming an issue with games being released during the drops of the mid-generation updates PS4 Pro and Xbox One X. There's wanting to tap into the hardware's potential, but they aren't allowed to leave the pace car base consoles behind. So games like Tekken 7 and Metal Gear Solid V essentially have to be nerfed during development.
