Throughout the development of Cyberpunk 2077 a persistent question remained in many fans’ minds, namely, “How the heck is this going to run on the PS4 and Xbox One S?” Pretty much all the footage CD Projekt Red showed pre-launch was running on high-end PCs, and they later gave us brief, heavily-edited glimpses of the game running on Xbox One X, Xbox Series X, PS4 Pro, and PS5, but base current-gen consoles? We were never granted a look at those, and it turns out there’s a good reason for that!
Cyberpunk 2077 is now in everyone’s hands, and it turns out the game looks awful on the base PS4 and Xbox One. According to the tech heads at Digital Foundry, the game looks to run at around 720p on base consoles, but that doesn’t tell the whole story – textures and assets are also very low quality, giving the game the look of a half-assed Switch port. Even with the ugly visuals, performance is still underwhelming, with DF finding it often drops to the low 20s and sometimes as low as 15fps.
