Cyberpunk 2077 on base PlayStation 4 and Xbox One consoles have many technical issues, bugs, and glitches to the point it is nearly unplayable in certain areas.
CD Projekt RED’s Michał Nowakowski earlier this week said the team is working on two major updates for the game that will release in January and February that will make it "a good, playable, stable game." The main goal of the updates will fix the glitches and crashes with the game.
Cyberpunk 2077 launched for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC via Steam, Epic Games, and GOG, and Stadia on December 10. A next-generation will launch later for the Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 at a later date and will be a free upgrade for those that own the PS4 and Xbox One.

Man that whole situation really escalated
i thought watchdogs launch was bad,
this is another level of worse...
Not sure why this got a downvote. People attentions spans must be bad this gen. Watch Dogs and Assassins Creed Unity had terrible launches with glitches galore especially on the PC but also on consoles.
Is this the worst launch for a game ever? Surely a candidate at least.
GOG is also getting flack for bowing to China in taking down a game for them (Devotion). How quickly the tide can turn on a company...
Once you decide to make your company go public you basically are selling your soul.
This has turned into a cluster. Microsoft and Sony had to step in to address the issue.
The executives at CD Projekt Red really blew this one.
This game seems to damage the reputation of CDPR like Fallout 76 Bethesda.
This is like watching Crash mode in Burnout.
Proof that its not just the online games that come out a mess.
This is so damned surreal. Game goes gold. Gets delayed. Releases on 7 different platforms. Gets taken down from the stores of both major consoles a week after launch. This shit is history making. Mind blown. Absolutely blown!
It’s only delisted on PS Store, not Xbox store.
And apparently its fine on Stadia.
I haven't been following the situation that closely, but it certainly doesn't sound like the 9th generation versions of the games are buggy enough to warrant removing even them from sale and refunding the game. For the 8th generation version, this sounds reasonable (probably), but for the 9th generation this seems like overkill.
I agree, which is why I’m glad that MS didn’t delist it like Sony did. The game plays fine on Series S and X and even ok on Xbox One X, people who have those consoles should still be able to buy it if they want to.
Having been reminded there's no actual 9th gen version yet, I've changed my mind and think this is... acceptable, even if only because of a technicality (e.g. it wouldn't make sense to keep a 8th gen game available for 9th gen consoles but not for 8th gen consoles). It's definitely not an ideal situation because ideally the game would still be available on 9th gen consoles, but given the situation and the technicality, I think this is OK.
