Good call to ditch last-gen support.

Quite possibly because the game ran so badly on last-gen that they didn't have the time to dedicate to getting it to a passable standard.

And because of the crappy performance on last gen, there are probably very few people who would pick up the DLC on those consoles.

Hey, it was fine for mid gen upgrade users.

This still feels so late into the game's life-cycle tbh.

For sure! The Witcher 3 had 2 expansions. one of which was so big it could've been its own game, released by the time the game turned 1 year old. Cyberpunk will be over 2 years old by the time it gets its first expansion lol

So... the game is fixed?

I finished the game recently and was surprised that it was actually good. Not one bug or glitch, the controls and driving mechanics were great. The atmosphere, people of night city. It was a nice immersive experience on ps5.
