The studio has declared that the next-gen version of Cyberpunk 2077 will not get the 10 dollar hike in prices that few other games like NBA 2K21 have received.
In spite of that, the game will emerge as a free upgrade for people possessing current-gen hardware. However, it won’t be made available until the year 2021. For now, work is in progress onto a standalone Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer adventure.
