Cyberpunk 2077's long-awaited next-gen console update is here, and the extended wait looks to have been worth it.

The community is open and inviting, the world is lovingly detailed, and the questing and lore is expertly crafted.
By design the game portion comes first, providing an evocative experience where discovery feels earned and the pacing is spot on.
