Cyberpunk 2077was originally set to launch in the very busy month of April, right after theResident Evil 3remake and hotly anticipatedFinal Fantasy 7 Remake. However, CD Projekt Red has now announced thatCyberpunk 2077has been delayed, revealing a new release date of June 19, 2025 for all platforms.
Instead of just announcing theCyberpunk 2077release date delay, CD Projekt Red has also offered some explanation for the delay. As explained by the studio,Cyberpunk 2077is “complete and playable,” but it wants more time to polish the experience. The massive scale of the game requires even more playtesting and bug fixing than the studio was expecting, but hopefully the extra work is worth the wait.

CD Projekt Redseems to think that the delay will be worth it for those looking forward toCyberpunk 2077. “We wantCyberpunk 2077to be our crowning achievement for this generation,” the studio explained, “and postponing launch will give us the precious months we need to make the game perfect.”
While some fans may still be disappointed thatCyberpunk 2077has been delayed from its original April release date to September 17, on the bright side, CD Projekt Red has promised more regular development updates. This way fans can better track the studio’s progress as development on the game wraps up. So while the wait to exploreNight Cityfor themselves may be a long one, at leastCyberpunk 2077fans won’t be left out of the loop.
TheCyberpunk 2077release datedelay may very well end up being a good thing for the game. The main thing is that it gets it out of the super-busy April month, giving it a bit more breathing room in September. Right now, the only other big game confirmed for a September release isMarvel’s Avengers, but that will be launching a couple of weeks beforeCyberpunk 2077anyway.
Even with these delays, the first half of 2020 is still stacked for video game fans, and now it’s looking like the second half of the year is going to be quite formidable as well. Of course, it’s always possible thatCyberpunk 2077is hit with another delay before launch, but for now, fans can safely circle Aug 03, 2025 on their calendars.
Cyberpunk 2077launches on Jul 27, 2025 for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One.
