Bullet points are not in order of Q&A, I put some stuff next to each other when made sense and my brain made connection :b
- They confirm that press is playing the game as we speak in order to produce previews for the next week, 25th
- Previews will be released when Night City Wire ends on 25th
- "Read the previews" was said so video unlikely from press? (my own speculation!)
- Press playing the game for previews are "from around the globe"
- Press has access to build that has character creation, starts from the beginning of the game and has time limit, but no limits on what they can do in the game. Build is lacking things like some of the story content as CDPR wants keep stuff under wraps. Build has bugs in. (commentary: so no spit polished vertical slice to play, that is good)
- They are streaming game from PCs to press to play because of COVID prevents in-person events
- They aren't worried about releasing so close to next-gen, confirming that backwards compatibility is possible on PS5 and XSX for the game
- Game will run on PS4, PS5, XBO and XSX from day 1
- Game will look better on next-gen consoles from day 1
- Next-gen version is planned for 2021, "more robust update". Will be free of charge for those who own last-gen version
- They expect next-gen consoles to release around same time, but they aren't worried about release titles creating competition for CP77 as release titles look to be different kind games
- They keep being coy about number of expansions coming to the CP77, number of them will be announced "soon" as part of marketing campaign
- Insisting that COVID and working from home situation aren't cause of delay, last stretch of development is just very demanding
- They have seen increases in pre-orders of Cyberpunk 2077 every time some store that it has ran sale on other games
- No plans for live events for the game at this time
- CDPR doesn't do delays to try and reach arbitrary MetaCritic scores, they just want to release game when they feel quality is what they strive for
- Multiplayer portion / version of the game is delayed proportionally to delay of CP77. CP77 is pushed back by X, MP part is pushed back by X
