CYBERPUNK 2077 DELAYED

Fans of video games get very upset when anticipated games get delayed. Is there ever a good reason for a game to be delayed? How about if a game runs poorly on the systems it is supposed to be released for?

Cyberpunk 2077, one of the most anticipated games of 2020, is now delayed to a September release window with developer CD Projekt Red stating that they need this time to polish the game. A polish insider by the name of Borys Niespielak, is stating that this is not actually the case.

Speaking during a podcast, Niespielak reveals that the game is not running properly on the original Xbox One hardware due to the system not being powerful enough. He also mentions that if things were not fixed by January 2020, the game would have to be delayed. This information will have to be taken with a grain of salt due to the reliability of the source but if this is true, it may be time to upgrade your hardware.
