A few days before the launch of Cyberpunk 2077, more details about the season of the game were received. A general statement, however, cannot be made.
Cyberpunk 2077 will be released this Thursday for consoles and PC. After several delays, those interested had to be patient for years. But it seems that the role-play makes up for it with a rather extensive playing time.
So you can invest hours in the game. One of the players who already had a glimpse of Cyberpunk 2077 spent around 21 hours to finish the basic plot. If you play through it quickly, it is apparently even faster. He got 37 hours including some side quests.
Turns out #Cyberpunk2077’s main campaign is around 37 hours. https://t.co/BOZKmYrWd0

For a role-playing game of this type, that sounds like comparatively little playing time. However, it must be noted that after the 37 hours mentioned, you have by no means seen everything. In addition to the side quests, Cyberpunk 2077 has several paths and multiple endings, so that it can be well over 100 hours in the end.

The main campaign is supposed to be only “part” of what is offered in the entire game, while the quality of the major side quests is reported to be on par with the main story itself, which is not too surprising given the history of CD Projekt RED. In addition, the side quests seem to be quite different in tone and style.
CD Projekt Red’s lead QA tester Lukasz Babiel recently even emphasized that he had already spent 175 hours with Cyberpunk 2077 without seeing the credits at the end of the game.
The early reviews also report that Cyberpunk 2077 is doing well on the Xbox Series X, with an option for 30 FPS at higher resolution or 60 FPS for lower visual fidelity. Load times and performance appear to be solid for the most part, although the report mentions some freezing issues. A Day One patch will be offered for launch.

Cyberpunk 2077 will be released on December 10, 2020, for PC, Xbox One, PS4, and Google Stadia. A fully customized version for the new generation consoles of Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5 is to follow.
