But in the end, the studio revised its plans. and decided to focus more on online elements in other future projects while maintaining a focus on story-driven single-player games. Today it seems like every single thing in Cyberpunk’s multiplayer has gone downhill, and now we know why. Rather, we have finally received confirmation of what many fans have long had no doubt about.
Philip Weberwho served as senior quest designer during the development of Cyberpunk 2077 at CD Projekt RED, said in an interview with British Eurogamer that The decline of multiplayer is associated with a change in priorities in connection with the release of Cyberpunk 2077 at the end of 2020. It just didn’t go the way many expected, especially for the console versions. on PS4 and Xbox One the game (didn’t work) was significantly worse than on PC and the next-gen update for PS5 and Xbox Series X|S was still the music of the future. So this was to follow a long, in fact, still relevant period, dedicated to various repairs and improvements.
“The priority was to launch the core game for people in really good condition. The reprioritization essentially meant that other R&D projects had to go. In Cyberpunk, we wanted to do a lot of things at the same time, and we just had to focus and say, “OK, what’s the most important thing? Yeah, we’re going to do that part really well.”

So we’ll take a look at what CD Projekt RED has to offer in terms of multiplayer in the future. A separate online title is still not in the game, Cyberpunk 2077 is now only waiting for Phantom Liberty single-player story expansionwhich will be released on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X|S next year, and we will wait for a full-fledged sequel with the working title Orion, because in 2023 the creative team will be formed in Boston, USA. This means we currently have no idea if Orion will even offer multiplayer or if CD Projekt RED’s plans will change in the coming years. But we have a feeling that Cyberpunk video game fans have gotten used to the suspense and uncertainty after all this.
