CD Projekt Carmine's surprise Cyberpunk 2077 announcement scheduled for Tuesday might have been foiled by an official Xbox Twitter account mere hours before the visitor's "REDstreams" event. According to a now-deleted tweet fabricated on Tuesday morning by the Xbox Netherlands Twitter account, the long-awaited electric current-gen upgrade for Cyberpunk 2077 will launch afterward today, and it will also allegedly include a five-hour gratis trial to boot.

While Xbox Netherlands deleted the tweet shortly after posting it, journalist Martin Verschoor screenshotted the tweet and reposted it on their Twitter page. The tweet roughly translates to "It'south here. Explore the globe of Cyberpunk 2077 in the side by side-gen update with a 5-hr free trial on Xbox Series X/S available now."

CD Projekt Crimson has yet to confirm the current-gen version's release date, but nosotros'll likely get confirmation — one mode or the other — during the visitor'southward live stream scheduled for x AM ET / 7 AM PT on Tuesday, roughly an hour away from the time of writing.

A February release would track with the developer'southward prior statement that electric current-gen upgrades for Cyberpunk and The Witcher 3 would make it in early 2022.

On Monday, an updated version of Cyberpunk 2077 marked every bit "Optimized for Xbox Series X/S" appeared on the Xbox store, further adding credence to the idea that the current-gen upgrade would launch before long. Additionally, a PlayStation Store listing allegedly leaked in late Jan that reportedly showed new box fine art for the game's current-gen version.
