Is it worth buying Cyberpunk 2077 on PS4 and XboxOne?

CD Projekt Red aimed to release Cyberpunk 2077 on a multitude of different platforms, including Google Stadia and last-gen consoles. But is it worth it? Should they have delayed the game's release once more? That's up to you to decide, but the fact that the performance of Cyberpunk 2077 on the old series of Xbox and PS4 is absolutely horrendous is already confirmed.

Cyberpunk 2077 runs at 60 frames per second on PS5 and Xbox Series X, but the performance noticeably drops.

And it's no surprise, as we were prepared for it to be very heavy. It seems that the games of the new generation are only meant for the new generation of consoles. So why was the game supported on other platforms, knowing its peculiarities? That will remain a mystery to us.

The game supports PS4 Pro and Xbox One X in addition to the new generation consoles: PS5 and Xbox Series. Almost on every platform there is a strange technical limitation. In the case of PS4 and PS4 Pro, the game should calmly support 30 frames per second, but in practice this is not noticeable (especially during free exploration of Night City).

In the case of Xbox One and Xbox One X the performance is simply terrible, especially on the original Xbox One. It is visible that the game runs at a frame rate of only 15 frames per second, and even on the powerful Xbox One X it cannot maintain a stable 30. CD Projekt Red has already confirmed that the current patch is not subject to the nearest update, at least this week.

The performance of the game on PS5 is simply incompatible with the frame rate, trying with all its might to hold 60 fps. It is important to note that it is impossible to reduce it, unlike Xbox Series X. 

There is no clear winner here, but still credit must be given to Xbox Series X for having a quality and performance reduction feature to 30. At this frame rate, the controller works much smoother, as there are no jerks and other unpleasant trifles.
