The announcement also mentions Microsoft’s newly announced Smart Delivery technology, which is pretty much backwards compatibility for the Xbox Series X, the new Xbox console slated for a Holiday 2020 release.

As described by Microsoft in their Xbox Wire post, the Smart Delivery is a technology that “empowers you to buy a game once and know that – whether you are playing it on Xbox One or Xbox Series X – you are getting the right version of that game on whatever Xbox you’re  playing on. “

It is currently unclear if the Xbox Series X version of Cyberpunk 2077 will simply receive an enhanced visuals patch of the Xbox One version, or it will be a different build for the new console.

Cyberpunk 2077 will be out on September 17, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
