[Cyberpunk 2077 for Xbox One and PlayStation 4](https://www.ign.com/articles/cyberpunk-2077-for-xbox-one-and-playstation-4-review) Review by Destin Legaire for IGN > While I had just as much fun playing Cyberpunk 2077 on PC as Tom did playing for his review, on the base PlayStation 4 or Xbox One it is a different game entirely. It fails to hit even the lowest bar of technical quality one should expect even when playing on lower-end hardware. It performs so poorly that it makes combat, driving, and what is otherwise a master craft of storytelling legitimately difficult to look at. It is not an exaggeration to say that I’ve felt nauseated after playing because of the terrible frame rate. It really is that bad, and it’s very suspicious that CD Projekt Red refused to provide console review copies ahead of launch. I’d say it is more than suspicious. It was downright intentional. They knew the state the console version of the game was in, deliberately showed PC-only footage, and took people’s money anyway. CD Projekt Red figured it would be easier to ask for forgiveness rather than permission. [Seeing is believing though](https://youtu.be/QfpoTjUz1BY). This is the type of bottleneck I [[The Cross-Generational Bottleneck|feared]] for cross-generational games. Cypberpunk 2077 “runs” on 11 different platforms (PS4, PS4 Pro, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox One S, Xbox One X, Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X, PC, and Stadia). From a business perspective, I understand wanting to launch on last generation consoles. There are 165+ million PS4 and Xbox One consoles out in the world. I think it is safe to say the vast majority of purchases this past week were for those platforms. CD Projekt Red spent a lot of goodwill this past week. *Halo Infinite* is supposed to run on [[You Are the Future of Gaming – Xbox Wire|nine different consoles]]. I think Xbox will slowly kill off their cross-generation support by running out the clock for the promised two years of support. Sony may have made the right call by not promising all their games will be cross-generational and instead announcing them as they see fit. > I bought *Cyberpunk* for a couple of my friends for Christmas and now I’m starting to think coal would’ve been a better present. > – Logan Moore via [Twitter](https://twitter.com/MooreMan12/status/1338644278558519297) I was one of the friends. If he bought me coal, at least it’d work as intended. Thankfully, I can wait until the proper PS5 version is released in 2077.
