Cyberpunk 2077 gets pulled from the PlayStation Store, CDPR stock plummets
Earlier this week, Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red apologised for not showing the new game on base last-gen consoles before it launched, acknowledging it “should have paid more attention to making it play better” on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, following widespreadreports of poor performance on those platforms. Now, the RPG game’s been pulled from the PlayStation Store, and the company’s stocks appear to have taken a pretty significant hit in the wake of this.
“[Sony Interactive Entertainment] strives to ensure a high level of customer satisfaction, therefore we will begin to offer a full refund for all gamers who have purchased Cyberpunk 2077 via PlayStation Store,” Sony announces on its site. “SIE will also be removing Cyberpunk 2077 from PlayStation Store until further notice.”
Cyberpunk 2077 Removed From PlayStation Store, Full Refunds Offered
Cyberpunk 2077‘s launch continues to be an utter disaster for the developer.
The highly anticipated title has managed to disappoint just about everyone who’s played it – at least, those who’ve played it on consoles – by falling far short of performance standards, with the game struggling to maintain a consistent frame rate, constantly throwing up visual glitches and players running into bugs at every turn. The backlash has been swift and harsh, with not only consumers but many companies and publications calling out CD Projekt Red as well for shipping a clearly unfinished product that’s almost unplayable at times.
