Just four days after launching, developer CD Projekt RED has issued an apology for the state of Cyberpunk 2077. The game has been a mess on base Xbox One and PlayStation 4 and the amount of videos, images, and dick clipping we’ve seen over the weekend has exponentially grown.
In an official statement which be found on the Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter account, the studio acknowledges that the game has not lived up to it’s promise. The statement begins with the acceptance of not showing footage on older hardware, “First of all, we would like to start by apologizing to you for not showing the game on base last-gen consoles before it premiered and, in consequence, not allowing you to make a more informed decision about your purchase. We should have paid more attention to making it play better on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.”
