The updated edition will also come as a standalone purchase for PC, Xbox Series X, and PlayStation 5. Those who have already purchased the game physically or digitally will get a free update, which will upgrade the game for them.

According to Radek Grabowski, CD Projekt Red PR lead, the free update is “dedicated only to upgrading the current-gen version of the game when it is being played on the Xbox Series X and PlayStation 5 hardware.”

There has been no official release date given for the new edition but it is coming sometime in 2021.

Their Next Game is Right Around the Corner

CD Projekt Red is also hard at work for the upcoming release of Cyberpunk 2077, which is set to come out on November 19th. The futuristic game has been highly-anticipated for years, enduring several delays in release. Should everything go according to plan right now, we will finally have our hands on the game very, very soon.
