optimization
More likely the hardware on the PS4 and XBone were and remain to be shit? While optimization goes to a point, quality hardware is more important. It's unrealistic to expect a console to approach the same performance as a PC for one, and CP2077 is hardly optimized for PC either. It's just that the majority of mid-range PC have more power to spare than a console, so we tend to get more stability out of our platform. If the game were optimized at all we wouldn't be seeing the massive framedrops we are in most areas at the city center and downtown. Plus the game was originally intended solely for PC, it wasn't even announced for console until E318, which means it's console development phase has been 2.5 years tops, E3 that year was in July.
