<p>We’re closing in on the launch of the next generation of consoles, Sony with the PS5 and Microsoft with the Xbox Series X. With <a href="https://whatoplay.com/developers/cd-projekt-red/">CD Projekt Red</a> also releasing the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/cyberpunk-2077/">Cyberpunk 2077</a> title this year, there’s good news for people who want to get their hands on the game for the next-gen.</p>

<p>As per the official account, Cyberpunk 2077 will be free for the Xbox Series X if the owners have a copy of the Xbox One version. Here's the quote from their <a href="https://twitter.com/CyberpunkGame/status/1231961469669068800">twitter post</a>:</p>

<div class="direct-quote">Gamers should never be forced to purchase the same game twice or pay for upgrades. Owners of #Cyberpunk2077 for Xbox One will receive the Xbox Series X upgrade for free when available.</div>

<p>It’s an insanely generous offer, but I’m sure this will earn some loyalty to the brand when it comes to the players. We don’t know when Cyberpunk 2077 will be available for the Xbox Series X; but I guess that point would be moot, seeing that Xbox Series X boasts a ‘generation of COMPATIBILITY’, meaning that you could play Cyberpunk on the console even if it wasn’t the upgraded version.</p>

<p>Hopefully this move will have other developers follow suit. I think it’s time we move past having to buy ‘remastered’ versions of games just so we can enjoy them for the next-gen of consoles.</p>

<p>No specific release date has been set for the Xbox Series X, but it is expected to release this year around the time of the holidays. Cyberpunk 2077 comes out on Sept. 17 for the <a href="https://whatoplay.com/ps4/cyberpunk-2077/" title="Cyberpunk 2077 on PlayStation 4">PS4</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/xbox-one/cyberpunk-2077/" title="Cyberpunk 2077 on Xbox One">Xbox One</a>, <a href="https://whatoplay.com/pc/cyberpunk-2077/" title="Cyberpunk 2077 on PC">PC</a>, and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/stadia/cyberpunk-2077/" title="Cyberpunk 2077 on Google Stadia">Google Stadia</a>.</p>
