IGN published this video item, entitled “Looking Back: 3 Biggest News Stories of 2022 – IGN Daily Fix” – below is their description.
In today’s Daily Fix, we take a look back at the three biggest news stories that made waves with our viewers. It’s been a year filled with new game announcements, headlines about mega corporations buying other mega corporations, and unfortunate delays. But the Daily Fix audience is a discerning one. Here are the three that really struck a chord with you, our viewers.
First up is news about Cyberpunk 2077’s next-gen update. The game had an extremely rocky start, but gamers came back to Night City when CD Projekt Red announced the Xbox Series X and S, and PlayStation 5 versions of the game. It fixed a lot of the last-gen version’s bugs and glitches, while adding some much-requested features.
In related news, you all really couldn’t get enough of The Witcher 3, seven years after the game came out. Among several new Witcher projects, CDPR announced a totally free update to The Witcher 3 which takes advantage of the power provided by current gen Xbox Series and PS5 consoles.
And in a throwback to the past, a stash of retro games was found that featured a few gems, like a completely sealed and unopened copy of Chrono Trigger for the Super Nintendo.

Cyberpunk 2077 is an upcoming action role-playing video game developed and published by CD Projekt. It is scheduled to be released for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, Stadia, and Xbox One on 10 December 2020, and for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S in 2021.
The PlayStation 5 (PS5) is an upcoming home video game console developed by Sony Interactive Entertainment.

The platform is anticipated to launch in two varieties, as a base PlayStation 5 system incorporating an Ultra HD Blu-ray compatible optical disc drive for retail game support alongside digital distribution via the PlayStation Store, and a lower-cost Digital variant lacking the disc drive while retaining digital download support.
The PlayStation 5 features a customized solid state drive designed for high-speed data streaming to enable significant improvements in graphical performance. The hardware also features a custom AMD GPU capable of ray tracing, support for 4K resolution displays and high framerates, new audio hardware for real-time 3D audio effects, and backward compatibility with most PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR games.
Xbox Series X and Series S are upcoming home video game consoles developed by Microsoft. They are both scheduled to be released on November 10, 2020 as the fourth generation of the Xbox console family, succeeding Xbox One.
Rumors regarding the consoles first emerged in early-2019, with the line as a whole codenamed “Scarlett”, and consisting of high-end and low-end models codenamed “Anaconda” and “Lockhart” respectively.
The high-end model was first teased during E3 2019 under the title “Project Scarlett”, while its name and design as Xbox Series X was unveiled during The Game Awards later in December. In September 2020, Microsoft unveiled the low-end model as Xbox Series S.
