CD Projekt Red has recently released a statement informing fans that its ambitious open-world title Cyberpunk 2077 won't be releasing on November 19.

This involves testing the compatibility between the Xbox One/Series X and Xbox Series S/Series X, PlayStation 4/Pro compatibility on PS5, Windows PC and Stadia platforms while working from home.
