Cyberpunk 2077 is an upcoming first-person shooter and role-playing game from The Witcher developer CD Projekt RED. The team has been working on this title for many years now, and recently delayed it to September 2020. A lot of polish was needed from the preview we saw a year or two ago.

Many businesses are being closed and employees are being forced to work from home, and it seems like CD Projekt RED is no different. The company has added a lot of policies to keep those working on Cyberpunk 2077 healthy, that includes working from home. Right now, the game is on track for a September release.
