Cyberpunk 2077 returning to PlayStation store, Sony says
Troubled game Cyberpunk 2077 will go back to PlayStation stores from next week, Sony confirmed Wednesday, half a year after it was pulled over bugs and compatibility issues.
The dystopian-themed game was reportedly just about the most expensive ever made and its release was hotly anticipated, but the rollout was mired in problems.
In December 2020, Sony said it was pulling the overall game from PlayStation stores around the world citing "client satisfaction" after multiple complaints about glitches and even health threats.
But a regulatory disclosure by the game's maker, CD Projekt Red, on Tuesday said Sony Interactive Entertainment would "reinstate the option of the digital edition of Cyberpunk 2077 on PlayStation store, effective on 21 June 2021."
In a statement Wednesday, Sony confirmed the overall game will be relisted this month.
But it warned there might still be problems with the title if played on PlayStation 4 consoles.
"Users will continue to experience performance problems with the PS4 edition while CD Projekt Red continues to improve stability across all platforms," Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) said.
"SIE recommends playing the title on PS4 Pro or PS5 to get the best experience," it added.
The game title, that was also released on Xbox One and PCs, has been CD Projekt Red's biggest hit, and the group's president has said its launch has been a "huge lesson".
The business has released a number of patches to cope with various issues and was forced to include health warnings after one reviewer complained the game caused an epileptic seizure.
"This was a huge lesson for all of us, one we will never forget -- but I believe this is the time to look to the near future," CD Projekt Group president and joint CEO Adam Kicinski said in April as he reviewed the firm's performance in 2020.
"We remain ambitious and we are giving it our all to bring Cyberpunk to an even where everyone can fully enjoy the game, regardless of platform," he added, according to the firm's website.
