Editorial overview

What happened

Manually researched lead based on CD PROJEKT RED's October 20 notices and a full independent Forbes report. Current Google Trending Now searches were observed in the US and Canada; this editorial record adds no numerical search-volume, growth or engagement estimate.

Why this is being covered

An October 21 preview precedes the announced October 22 update. Readers need the difference between a preview and a download, the later Switch 2 rollout, and the boundary between named features and speculation. Search interest is discovery evidence, not proof of availability or performance.
