CD Projekt Red says that Cyberpunk 2077's stability is now at a “satisfactory” level after months of patches and updates. The highly-anticipated open-world sci-fi RPG/shooter made headlines for all the wrong reasons when it finally launched last December, thanks to several bugs and glitches that made Cyberpunk 2077 nigh-unplayable to those who were unlucky enough to purchase it on release.
A hefty Day One patch did little to quell the backlash Cyberpunk 2077 received in its early days on the market, which escalated to the point where both PlayStation and Xbox took the extremely rare move of pulling the game from their online stores and offering players a full refund. It wouldn’t be until months later that Cyberpunk 2077 returned to the PlayStation Store, and even then CDPR warned players that the game still hosted some of the bugs that plagued it in the beginning, at least on the PlayStation 4. However, the company’s more recent statements paint a far more hopeful picture.
As reported by Eurogamer earlier today, CD Projekt Red now says that Cyberpunk 2077’s stability has reached a satisfactory level. “We have already achieved a satisfactory level in this regard [of stability],” CDPR CEO Adam Kiciński announced in a translated statement during this weekend’s WSE Innovation Day. “We have also been working on the overall efficiency, which we are also quite happy about. Of course, we also removed bugs and glitches, and we will continue to do that.”
Cyberpunk 2077’s notoriously buggy performance is just the tip of the controversy the once-revered CD Projekt Red suffered in the wake of the game's launch last year. The company soon came under fire for reports that executives rushed the game to market to secure end of the year bonuses and crunched their employees to get it finished in time for its previously planned December street date. To make matters worse, CDPR soon found itself hacked not too long after Cyberpunk’s release, with vital development data for several of its high-profile games being stolen and sold for auction on the black market.
To say that CD Projekt Red has had a rough past few months would be an understatement, but it seems like the studio is on the road to recovery if its statements about Cyberpunk 2077’s improved stability are true. It is worth pointing out that this “stability” only refers to the game not crashing outright, but it is a promising step forward in the path to finally delivering the solid open-world experience that CDPR promised in Cyberpunk 2077’s lengthy marketing campaign.
