“Your PS4 copy of the game will work on PS5 on launch day”, the Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter account shared earlier this year.
The even better news is that CD Projekt Red has promised that anyone who buys the PS4 game will receive a free upgrade to the PS5 version when it is released, meaning you won’t be forced to fork out the money twice.
Which consoles will Cyberpunk 2077 be available on?
Cyberpunk will be available to buy on the PS4, Xbox One, PC and Google Stadia from December 10. PS5, Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S users will also be able to play the game at launch thanks for backwards compatibility.
The aforementioned free upgrade policy also applies to the next-gen Xbox, meaning gamers can pick up the Xbox One game this week and upgrade to the Series X version when it is available at no additional cost.
