Cyberpunk 2077’s Disastrous Launch Was Already 5 Years Ago

After several delays throughout 2020, CD Projekt Red finally launched Cyberpunk 2077 on December 10th. This release came five years after their previous game, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which also had a difficult start. However, Cyberpunk 2077 faced even bigger problems. While it worked on the newer PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S consoles, a version specifically designed for those systems wasn’t available until 2022. Because the older PlayStation 4 and Xbox One were nearing the end of their lifespan, games like Cyberpunk 2077 needed a lot of extra work to run smoothly on those platforms.
