According to Polish insider Borys Niespielak, the reason for Cyberpunk 2077’s delay is solely due to the limits of current generation consoles. Niespielak claims that the game cannot run properly on Xbox One or Playstation 4 and that the performance is “extremely unsatisfactory”.
While CD Projekt RED have not commented on the matter, there have been cases of games being downgraded due to consoles of their current generations. The best example would be The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt which had to be seriously downgraded to work on current consoles with the biggest being the Switch.
