It's wrong that Cyberpunk 2077 is back on the PS Store

In the last year, did you look forward to finally playing Cyberpunk on your standard PS4 and ending the console generation with a real blast? Then you are like many pre-orderers who believed the words of the developers, only to be bitterly disappointed at the start of the game.

The console versions of Cyberpunk suffered from bad performance problems and an enormous one at the release in December Bow tide. The problems on the base PS4 and the Xbox One S. CD Projekt advised dissatisfied customers to request a refund directly from Sony. In addition to the disastrous condition of the PS4 version, this statement ensured that Sony removed Cyberpunk 2077 from the PS Store. As a retail version, Cyberpunk 2077 (buy now 39.85 €) could still be bought for the Playstation, but digitally it was no longer possible. CD Projekt Red promised improvement and announced a lot of patches that should fix the worst problems.

Cyberpunk 2077 is now back in the PS Store and many customers without a PS4 Pro or PS5 are sure to rub their eyes in amazement at the warning:

"IMPORTANT NOTE: Users are still experiencing issues with the performance of this game. Purchase for use on PS4 systems is not recommended. We recommend using the game on PS4 Pro or PS5 systems to have the best cyberpunk experience on PlayStation. "

Seriously? So the developers repeat the mistake of offering Cyberpunk again to players with a PS4, although it is clear that the game on this console does not correspond to the advertised state. CD Projekt had promised the fans that Cyberpunk 2077 would run surprisingly well on the last-gen consoles.

"Of course, the performance will be a little worse than on a PS4 Pro, but also surprisingly good for such a big one World ", CEO Adam Kiciński announced during a conference call in November, knowing full well that the old consoles cause problems.

The PC version of Cyberpunk could at least score with great graphics - provided the right hardware was used . Source: Screenshot Antonio Funes Yes, admittedly, CD Projekt Red has now worked on the performance of the base PS4 version of Cyberpunk. The version currently even runs at a stable 25 to 30 FPS. However, the game also pays a high price for improving performance. Night City is a ghost town in the PS4 version, because the number of vehicles and NPCs had to be drastically reduced in order to improve the FPS.

Cyberpunk 2077 is still not the game after all these months Buyers of the PS4 version was promised. If PS4 owners still need a warning, why is the game back in store?

Aside from the warning for new customers, how are the pre-order and release tag buyers of Cyberpunk who are on their Wanted to play PS4 after the game returned to the store? Offering a still troubled PS4 version for sale is not a positive signal.

The return to the PS Store is wrong and gives no hope that the developers will make Cyberpunk 2077 a part of the game with updates and patches that the owners of the old consoles had expected.

Afterwards one is always smarter and CD Projekt Red would have probably better concentrated only on the development of a NextGen console version from the start. Freely based on Lothar Matthäus: "Would be, would be a bicycle chain."
