A general wave of excitement is in the air after the disastrous launch of the game that broke the internet (as well as sales) due to extremely buggy engine, choppy framerates, and, glitches that made the game unplayable on PS4, Xbox One, and even on the PC as well.

Keanu Reeves has been in a lot of media content. His latest movie The Matrix Resurrections was very poorly received but the actor was praised for his acting skills. His latest and upcoming projects include John Wick 4 and now, the role of Johnny Silverhand.
Cyberpunk 2077 is developed by Polish game studio CD Projekt Red which is most notably known for creating The Witcher franchise (the game version) including The Witcher 3: The Wild Hunt. With expectations set high, and a tight deadline to follow, the studio released Cyberpunk 2077 under peer pressure which the game did not take lightly.
Offering choppy framerates, frequent crashes, and glitches in the game, the sales were affected badly. However, after almost 2 years to the release of the game, it has become playable and has been commanded for the creative storyline that CD Projekt Red is known for.
We do have some sad news for the ex-generational console gamers as the upcoming DLC will not be playable on Xbox One or the PS4 and will only be playable on Xbox One X/S and Stadia (and PC of course!)
A confirmed date is yet to be announced as of yet, but the expected time of the release of Phantom Liberty is anticipated in 2023.
Keanu Reeves’ John Wick 4 is announced to be released on 24th March 2023 in theaters worldwide.
