As if CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077 woes couldn't get any worse, the game has been pulled from the PlayStation Store. Sony Interactive Entertainment released a statement via their website announcing that the game has been removed until further notice, and anyone who wishes to have their game refunded will be able to do so.

SIE strives to ensure a high level of customer satisfaction, therefore we will begin to offer a full refund for all gamers who have purchased Cyberpunk 2077 via PlayStation Store. SIE will also be removing Cyberpunk 2077 from PlayStation Store until further notice.

Cyberpunk 2077 has been the subject of controversy since launch day, with many customers reporting framerate, loading, and game-breaking bug issues on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. CD Projekt Red themselves even issued an apology for the game's poor performance on last-gen consoles, and promised future updates to improve performance on these issues. As of right now, there's no word on when the game will return to the PlayStation store, or when refunds will be sent out for those who purchased a digital copy.

All that good will for not using DRM -- and for having Keanu Reeves. All gone now.

Lesson? Don't ship a product that is completely broken. Especially not a high-profile product.

THIS is now Projekt Red's reputation. THIS fiasco will be mentioned every time they announce something. THIS could have been avoided by a further delay.

That means that it's officially an Xbox console exclusive. GG.

Why? Does cyperpunk perform better on xbox one? (original ps4 vs x1)

I blame the DEV's they knew the game wasn't ready we seen all the warning signs delay after delay. They should have made sure the game was complete to play on all systems and did various testing. Rushing isn't a good thing because this game was highly anticipated and they over promised and under delivered

While it's understandable to blame the devs, I'm inclined to believe that it's the marketting/management departments fault. When in doubt, blame management.

Actually no. They perform as bad as the PS4 versions.

Waiting for the physical copies being scalped to hell and beyond /s

I´m waiting for a Switch port.
360p docked and 240p in handheld mode with 20-30 FPS sound realistic to me.

This is the Fyre Festival of video games.

Edit: I definitely want to see a documentary about this disaster on Netflix sometime soon. Hulu can make one too!

Maybe platform holders should start taking their certification process seriously again instead of just signing off the publishers cheque.

Remember Nintendo's "Seal of Quality"? Like that but actually worth a damn.

This.

lololol, that's funny, i bet sony got pissed with all the refund requests (that's why they didn't do it with NMS or FO76 on launch, because they didn't pissed them off that much, foxes). That's fine, the game is unplayable on these weak machines so why sell there? Although i found it a nice game on pc, DF's videos on the last gen kinda sums up what's going on there.

What the hell do you expect the Switch to do, run games at 4K 120 FPS with SSAA enabled. The Switch is better off without this abortive dumpster fire of a game.

I wonder will retail box stores pull the physical copys?

Went to mine 3h ago, it had the PS4 version as the recent best selling game lol

 

[Subtle Demise]

Well the thing is that this did need one more delay. To sort out more of the bugs and to have the PS5/XBSX version ready. And then the PS4/XB1 version needed even more time after that before launching.

It needed a new engine to fix the flaws that are more than skin deep. The engine was built for The Witcher, and you can tell. The driving is weird, the traffic is weird, the on rails vehicle shooting has a pre-determined outcome. The vehicles will crash in the same spots every time, and your damage is nerfed to the point that you will not actually kill the drivers or passengers. So much of the game screams cut corners and engine limitation.

I'm playing this game with my NVIDIA GTX 960M with full density (people walking, cars, etc) at 1280x720p and is a great experience. Stable 30fps.

You don't need run this game with High or Ultra graphics to enjoy it. Is a masterpiece.

I donno how everyone on here missed it but launching now was a brilliant idea: If you hire people to test the game for ya it will take ages, so better release it and have all bugs discovered and posted on youtube for free, so smart in my POV. Ps: Also a smart way to make it an Xbox exclusive lol
