After the crash started Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt Red says it will release its first update within the next 10 days, with “a bigger, more important update, in the weeks that follow. In a video released today, co-founder Marcin Iwinski sent mea culpa to players, saying that he and board members are “the final decision makers” for the news if released. “Please don’t bother any of our teams for what happened,” Iwinski said.
Cyberpunk 2077 launched on December 10, 2020, with immediate problems. While critics mostly praised the PC’s release of the game, token players – especially those who played on the older generations – ran into a wide range of bugs, frame rate issues, and more. A week after the game’s release, Sony pulled out Cyberpunk from the PlayStation Store and started offering rebates. An investor is suing CD Projekt Red over the accidental release. Today, you can purchase the PC version of the game for almost half of it.
In the five-minute video posted today, Iwinski said “despite good reviews on PC, the token version of Cyberpunk 2077 we did not meet the standard of quality we wanted it to meet. I and the management team are very sorry for this. “Iwinski went on to comment on the vast breadth of the game and the developer’s bold predictions about the work he would do to match vision to reality, as well as the difficulties of working from the game. “We really believed in delivering in the last days,” he said.
On his site, the Projekt Red CD reported concerns in Frequently Asked Questions. In response to the quality gap between the PC version of the game and older generation consoles, the developer said that it made the job “more difficult for ourselves by first wanting the game to look epic on PCs and the then convert it to consoles – especially old gens. That was our main idea. And things didn’t look terribly difficult at first, even though we knew the hardware gap, in the end, time has proven that we didn’t over-appreciate the action. “
Moving forward, CD Projekt Red says it is “committed to fixing bugs and crashes and will continue to work and improve the game through future updates to ensure that the game you enjoy no matter what platform. “That work is likely to affect the game’s free DLC, which is planned for release this year, as well. “We have decided that our priority is to work on the most important solutions and updates. We’ll be releasing free DLC after that – we’ll have more to say about that in the coming months. ” The developer said he intends to do so without “mandatory” extra time, despite months of crushing before the game’s release. “Avoiding future stress on our projects is one of our top priorities. ”
Regarding the game’s return to digital repositories, the developer says it is “working on solutions and updates, and working with Sony to introduce it. Cyberpunk 2077 back to PlayStation Store as soon as possible. ”
