Several highly anticipated AAA games, like “Cyberpunk 2077,” are going to be released in the coming months. However, most of them will be out before the next-generation consoles from Microsoft and Sony are available.
This has led to some fans getting concerned about how compatibility support will work on these consoles since games like “Cyberpunk 2077” are developed for current-gen consoles. Luckily, Microsoft and CD Projekt Red are in agreement that the role-playing game on Xbox One platform will be playable on the Xbox Series X.
