Cyberpunk 2077 PlayStation Preload Begins 8th December

so... are people moaning about not being able to ‘pre-load’ earlier?... what difference does it make if you can’t play the game until release, not as if its gonna take 2 days to download it or anything

@Mad-Vampire I asked him in a previous post because playstation never said anything when I purchased recently just good to know to get it ready in anticipation for the release so as soon as the countdown timer hits zero I'll hit play at least no waiting on downloads.

I want this game, but only having a PS5 now I cannot decide if I should buy it now and play it, or just wait for the PS5 version. I tend not to play the same game twice especially if they are huge (due to time constraints)
Wish they would release info as to what benefits the PS5 version will have over the PS4 version.

@Digit2021 If you're only going to play it once, then wait for the next-gen updates. The game will only get cheaper and more stable (via patches) between now and then.

OK as expected it's going to be a long 4 days........but we waited long enough for this masterpiece speaking of such back to Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch for me.

Actually that’s not true it clearly states it will unlock on December 9th at 7 PM EST where I am and my current timer on PSN confirms that

have they even given timescales for a PS5 update, or what it will entail?... could be waiting a while for that!

I hope they add a 3rd person mode (like a reverse GTA5!) in a future version

@jmac1686 "ON CONSOLES: The game will release in each region at midnight local time."

That's what it says in the bottom corner.

I bought the PC version. I am not going to buy a gimped console version for this, especially with the way it uses DLSS, I will be able to run this at 1440p/60fps maxed.

@Mad-Vampire No release window or details on that other than '2021'.

@Ralizah
Cheers, I will wait. The game might go on sale prior to the free PS5 update, then I will grab it to save some money. I will have to turn off the internet in the meantime to avoid spoilers.
They haven't released many details about the PS5 version, they are probably thinking it will hurt the PS4 sales. However they don't think that some people will just wait anyway.

@ShogunRok I am on console and my timer has mine unlocking at 7 PM on December 9th as it clearly shows on the map.

So weird to think that this game is actually finally releasing soon.

@jmac1686 The times on the map are for the PC version. On the same map it says it's midnight in each region for console - look at the bottom-left corner. If the PS Store page for you also says 7pm, CDPR have screwed something up. Hopefully for your sake it does actually launch at that time but probably it'll either be changed before release, or you'll get to the supposed launch time of 7pm and it won't actually unlock until midnight.

I personally don't mind because it takes me 20-30 minutes to download a 70GB game

Severs must be so busy, all over the world!

@Digit2021 just wait. You’re missing out on the graphics. Not to mention the tons if bugs such a conplicated will have early on.

I guess if you bought a digital copy, be sure to put your PS4 into rest mode the next time you power down before the pre-load becomes available.

At this point I'm back to waiting until they sort the whole mess out, if there's a hefty day one patch, I rather wait to see what their plans are for the PS5 version.

I'm going to wait for the PS5 version

@Igna
Did you join just to post that comment?

Me I'm kind of glad ordered this for pc instead of the ps4, if the games good and I enjoy it I might pick it up next year when I get my ps5.

@JapaneseSonic

I would say anytime after the 7th as that's when the embargo lifts.

@JapaneseSonic Yeah, I second that. I'm actually more excited about seeing the reviews at this stage.

Aren't all PS digital games 48 hour pre load?

@suikoden well it was about time for me to join, I've been checking this page daily for months now

My internet isn’t very strong and I work from home, so can only download really over night. We can download during the day, but kills my internet service standard.
Will wake up 8th and hope and chunk has been done, and then the rest that evening. I’m not off for 4 days, then back to work on the 9th, so I won’t have much game time around launch either way. I’m chill, this is really meant to be a Christmas present haha

Same. Eldest has got it me for Xmas. Might ask if I can just have when it arrive,14th I think just so I can down load it then she can have the disc back to wrap up so any updates sent I'll be ready to go early evening on Xmas day when everyone else is asleep on the settee.
