Cyberpunk 2077 spotted on PS5 backend ahead of release

CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 could be finally making its next-gen debut after the controversial game was spotted on the PlayStation Network database.

Now, it seems that developers CD Projekt Red are gearing up to re-release the game with a fresh coat of polish.
