Speak with Reuters, CD Projekt Red president and joint CEO Adam Kiciński said the developer is in it for the long haul when it comes to fixing Cyberpunk 2077

‘I don’t see an option to suspend Cyberpunk 2077, ”Told Kiciński Reuters“We are convinced that we can bring the game to such a state that we can be proud of it and therefore sell it successfully for many years.”

After numerous development delays, Cyberpunk 2077 finally arrived to wide criticism on December 10. It was a broken mess with bugs on last-generation consoles and generally fell short of the high expectations of CD Projekt’s pre-release marketing campaign. Recent patches have started Cyberpunk 2077 on a long road to competence, but CD Projekt has taken a huge blow to the reputation with which it has built The Witcher

Kiciński also said that CD Projekt has been in contact with Sony, which pulled Cyberpunk 2077 of digital PlayStation storefronts a week after launch

Last month, CD project announced plans to reconsider a Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer experience it is touted as a standalone project similar to Grand Theft Auto Online before launch. The company also cited the adoption of a new production strategy, which includes a reduced focus on promoting games long before they are ready for public consumption.

CD Projekt is currently working on next-gen versions of Cyberpunk 2077 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X / S for release sometime in the second half of 2021. The added power is expected to be an improvement over the experience on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. Still, you could argue that many of the game’s problems are intrinsic rather than based on the power of the machine it runs on.
