San Francisco:Polish video game developer CD Projekt Red has announced that the Stadia version of the open-world role-playing game, Cyberpunk 2077 will launch on November 19 -- the same day it is coming to PC, PS4, and Xbox One.

"Cyberpunk 2077 is coming to @GoogleStadia on November 19. This means you will be able to explore Night City across your favorite devices instantly right when the game becomes available," the company said in a tweet.

Cyberpunk 2077 is adapted from the Cyberpunk franchise, the story takes place in dystopian Night City, an open world with six distinct regions.

Players assume the first-person perspective of a customizable mercenary known as V, who can acquire skills in hacking and machinery, an arsenal of ranged weapons, and options for melee combat.

Google announced the game was coming to Stadia all the way back in August 2019 but didn't reveal a final release date. The game was set to launch on other platforms on April 16, but it was delayed twice this year to its current November 19 release date.

Those who buy the game via the Stadia Store will receive a set of Cyberpunk 2077-themed digital goodies.

These include the game's original score, art booklet, the original Cyberpunk 2020 sourcebook, and Cyberpunk 2077: Your Voice comic book, as well as a set of wallpapers for desktop and mobile.

Google has also announced that Ubisoft is adding new games to Stadia, including adventures within the worlds of Far Cry, Watch Dogs, Ghost Recon and Assassin's Creed.

Ubisoft is a French video game company headquartered in Montreuil with several development studios across the world.

Stadia users will be able to play the upcoming titles the moment they launch. There will be no waiting time for downloads and installs.

These new titles will likely come with the $14.99 Ubisoft UPlay+ bundle. However, there is no specific release date.

Stadia Pro members also received five new games for free, which are Strange Brigade, Kona, Metro 2033 Redux, Just Shapes And Beats as well as Rock of Ages 3: Make And Break.

In addition, Google also announced that some "good stuff" was coming for its Stadia Cloud gaming service users, starting October 20.

The move is expected to showcase new games coming to Stadia, along with some exclusive demos for users.

The multi-day event will start on the official Stadia YouTube channel.

Polish video game developer CD Projekt Red has announced that the Cyberpunk 2077 game release date has been pushed back by 21 days, and it will now release on December 10.

"The biggest challenge for us right now is shipping the game on current-gen, next-gen, and PC at the same time, which requires us to prepare and test nine versions of it," the company said in a tweet on Tuesday.

It was originally scheduled to release in April and then was pushed back to September, before another delay to November 19.

The delay is apparently due to the challenge of launching the title on what amounts to nine different platforms while everyone on the team works from home.

"We need to make sure everything works well and every version runs smoothly. We're aware it might seem unrealistic when someone says 21 days can make any difference in such a massive and complex game, but they really do," the company said.
