Cyberpunk 2 director says CP 2077’s catastrophic launch ‘crushed’ the developers and the subsequent redemption arc was basically ‘group therapy’

Cyberpunk 2077 was released with major technical issues and bugs across all platforms, leading to it being removed from the PlayStation store. The development team at CD Projekt Red faced harsh criticism and negative reception. The game underwent multiple patches to address technical issues and improve player satisfaction. The release of the Netflix Cyberpunk anime Edgerunners helped shift audience perception. The game eventually achieved redemption with the 2.0 update and Phantom Liberty expansion, leading to positive Steam reviews. The initial negative reception of the game prompted internal reorganization at CDPR.
