'Cyberpunk 2077' PS4 version will be compatible with PS5 at launch

When Cyberpunk 2077 does eventually launch, you don't have to worry about whether it can work on the next-generation PlayStation 5. CD Projekt Red confirmed the PlayStation 4 version of the game will "work on PS5 on launch day." The game developer previously confirmed that the game will support Microsoft's Smart Delivery system, which means the Xbox One version will work on the Xbox Series X from the get-go. CD Projekt Red pushed back the release of this action-adventure role-playing game from September to November 19, saying that it needed to make sure the game works well before launch day.

Those who buy the PS4 or Xbox One versions of Cyberpunk 2077 will get a free upgrade to a version of the game that's optimized for the next-gen consoles, and players can take "full advantage of the next-gen hardware." Unfortunately, CD Projekt Red couldn't confirm whether this upgrade will roll out in the coming year.

Microsoft guarantees the Xbox Series X won't be bigger than fridge

When Microsoft first announced the Xbox Series X, some people compared its design to a refrigerator. The company concedes that it might look like one, but it won't be as big as one. Microsoft tweeted a photo that shows the console's dimensions beside an actual fridge. The tweet shows the Xbox Series X standing at 301mm, while a refrigerator is about 1,778mm tall. While it is still bigger than usual game consoles, the good news is you wouldn't need to leave that big of a space for it.

Microsoft promises 'four generations of gaming' with the Xbox Series X

Microsoft has shared more details about its upcoming Xbox Series X console, and one of the more essential points raised is its backwards compatibility. The company said it will support "four generations" of Xbox games while making these look "better than ever before." 

Xbox head Phil Spencer wrote in a blog post, "Our commitment to compatibility means existing Xbox One games, including backward-compatible Xbox 360 and original Xbox games, look and play better than ever before. Your favourite games, including titles in Xbox Game Pass, benefit from steadier framerates, faster load times and improved resolution and visual fidelity—all with no developer work required. Your Xbox One gaming accessories also come forward with you."
