Cyberpunk 2077 delayed again, this time to November
Developer CD Projekt RED needs more time for balance and polish
If you were looking forward to getting your hands on CD Projekt RED's upcoming RPG Cyberpunk 2077, you are going to have to wait two more months.
The developer announced the delay on Twitter, saying it needed more time to "balance game mechanics, and fix a lot of bugs."

The game was originally set to come out on April 16, but in January, the company delayed it to September 17. This delay will now put the game's release on November 19.
While fans may be disappointed, the developer hopes to alleviate some of the anxiety with some new information coming in a Night City Wire announcement livestream on June 25.
Another piece of good news for PlayStation fans is that, on release, the PlayStation 4 version will also be compatible with PlayStation 5. A patch will follow that will upgrade the game's graphics to higher specs of Sony's upcoming new console. CD Projekt confirmed the news in an investor call on Thursday.
