CD Projekt Red is continuing to keep Cyberpunk 2077 alive and kicking with updates, and this latest one adds a new feature to the Xbox Series version.
Despite it not saying so in the patch notes, the latest update for Cyberpunk 2077 now adds keyboard and mouse support for the Xbox Series version of the game. While CD Projekt Red is currently working on a new Witcher game, the studio is still hard at work firing out patches for its open-world sci-fi title. Given the way things were when it was first released in 2020, the developer certainly had its work cut out for it to fix a myriad of game-breaking bugs.
Despite the new Witcher game, which could well be a new saga, CD Projekt Red is committed to Cyberpunk 2077 as a franchise. Hence all the updates, and the 1.6 patch recently rolled out in an effort to keep the game in tip-top shape. However, one user did notice the new feature that was added, even though it apparently does not say anywhere that it had been implemented.
A post from Reddit user PurpleMessi says that, thanks to the new “Edgerunners” update, Xbox Series owners can now play Cyberpunk 2077 with a mouse and keyboard. Images on the thread show the user has plugged the peripherals into their setup. However, it has also been noted that the latest patch does not bring mouse and keyboard support to the PS5 version of the game, and it looks as though no one is really sure why that is, especially considering the console supports peripherals with other titles.
It’s possible CDPR could add the feature to the PS5 in a later update, but that’s speculation at this stage. Patch 1.6 for Cyberpunk 2077 was released recently and represents the last update for PS4 and Xbox One as the gaming industry moves on from the previous generation of consoles. This means that anyone running the game on these older systems will unfortunately miss out on future content that the studio puts out for the game, which includes the upcoming Phantom Liberty DLC, which is said to be adding a new area to Night City.
Despite the array of improvements that the game has seen this past year or so, Cyberpunk 2077 may still be a thorn in CD Projekt Red’s side. At the time of its release, it went down as one of the most disastrous launches in recent history, up there with the likes of No Man’s Sky. Whether this is why the developer is moving back to the Witcher series cannot be said at this stage, but the studio’s reputation has certainly taken a beating over Cyberpunk.
