Cyberpunk 2077

End of 2020 saw the release of the highly anticipated video game Cyberpunk 2077. For goodness sake, Keanu Reeves was a part of it. With around five million pre-orders prior to release and roughly 13.7 million copies sold overall, it was also one of the games that sold the most quickly. Sounds like a major victory, no? Actually, not quite.

The game was so incredibly problematic as to be almost unplayable that the developer ultimately had to provide refunds to almost 30,000 customers. Additionally, reimbursements were given by the PlayStation Store, which ultimately removed the game entirely.

Both the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game have a lot of bugs. The games' poor compatibility with earlier platforms led to lawsuits, and later, hackers stole data from the company. In the end, the game was only passable even when everyone could enjoy it and everything worked as it should. Just fine. Since its release, many people have largely forgotten about it because it failed to live up to the hype.
