Cyberpunk 2077 is by far the most hyped game of the year, and since its release last week, many have come to the conclusion that this wasn’t the monster it was supposed to be. After the stock price plunged more than 50% yesterday, developer CD Projekt Red (CDPR) had an emergency conference with investors earlier today to see what had gone wrong.
Michal Nowakowski, SVP for business development at CDPR, had to admit that the company had focused its resources on the new generation of consoles – Xbox Series S / X and PlayStation 5. A quote from the call, reported on Android Central said: “It’s more about looking at the PC and the performance of the next generation, as mentioned earlier, than the current one, we certainly haven’t spent enough time on that. I wouldn’t say we felt any external or internal pressure to launch on the date – other than the normal pressure, which is typical of any release. So that was not the cause. “
Of course, that should not be mistaken for ‘no pressure at all’. As one of the biggest launch titles for the new generation. devices and one of the main titles on Christmas lists this year, CDPR would have made a big dent in the industry had it been delayed further than the 21 days it already had. In that sense, the pressure was enormous to get Cyberpunk 2077 to stores and online stores on time.
Cyberpunk 2077’s development ran to the end, with CEO Marcin Iwiński explaining that the PS4 and Xbox One X versions were in progress until launch. Unfortunately, this resulted in it being given to reviewers the day before release, which was certainly too late and the media did not get a chance to judge it properly. That was not the intention; we were just fixing the game to the very last minute. “
CDPR has added that while it has already apologized for the gaffes that make the game look like an early version of Apple Maps, there are no special refund procedures and dissatisfied users should contact their store or online store in the usual way. .
So it seems the best way to experience Cyberpunk 2077 the way it should be is to get your hands on a new console.

Alternatively, as Google has tried to remind us, it plays great on Stadia (maybe on a OnePlus 8T Cyberpunk 2077 edition?)
