Cyberpunk 2077 Seems to Be Returning to the PlayStation Store - IGN

Cyberpunk appears to be returning to the PlayStation Store. The game – which was removed from sale on the platform last year – can now be found by searching for its name, and appears with the tag 'Just Announced'.

anyone expecting them to have completely reworked the game: that's not happened. the game has received loads of patches (https://cyberpunk2077.wiki.fextralife.com/Patch+Notes) and i'd say the game is where it should've been at launch at least in terms of having no major bugs or crashes. performance is probably as good as it's ever gonna get on PS4.

60% of developers are working on new content for the game and 40% on bug fixes. we'll soon likely hear about free DLC which should hopefully add a lot more content and maybe add some gameplay/QoL changes. a potential leak shows they could be called:

Body of Chrome - could be an appearence editor
Rides of the Dark Future - sounds like more cars
The Relic - possibly a mission
Neck Deep - possibly a mission
Night City Expansion - maybe a new map area or more accessible areas in the existing map
Ripperdocs Expansion - new body mods
Bodyshops Expansion - moddable cars?
Gangs of Night City - enhanced gangs and/or new missions

"next gen" update/release will likely happen in a few months. paid expansions look like they've been pushed in to 2022. could be 2 or 3 paid expansions

I really wonder what huge changes were made that justify the game coming back on the Store.

 

[Valedix]

"Now with more bugs and less framerate!"

 

[Banjo64]

Ah yes, because it’s so fixed now.

 

[Armorian]

There were many broken\crashing\low poerfronance games that Sony allowed on PS3 gen so only reason it was removed were money returns that CDPR offered. They should have cancel last gen version and release the game in Q4 this year on new consoles and PC only.

 

[Shmunter]

Where’s the next gen roadmap?!?

I got the disc sitting here looking pretty

[GHG]

So is there an update coming soon or something?

 

[mansoor1980]

just a chip off his shoulder

 

[nightmare-slain]

Ah yes, because it’s so fixed now.

performance/visual wise it's probably as good as it's ever gonna be on PS4. there's still bugs yeah and gameplay elements are flawed but at least you can play it without crashing/heavy frame drops

 

[Chukhopops]

Does it mean there will be another major patch?

I've finished it with the last patch and it was completely fine, don't know if it's possible to fix it on last gen though.

 

[nightmare-slain]

apparently there's a minor patch coming soon (according to their recent investor call) and focus is now going towards free dlc.

 

[AdjudicatorHead]

How do you know it isn't a pre-order page for a PS5 version which is going to be listed soon? The next-gen versions are surely getting close, at this stage. Sony may well allow the next gen version as it won't have the performance issues, yet still refuse to allow the PS4 version to return.

Quite frankly, it wouldn't surprise me if they just wanted to wait for the refund wave to cool down.

It would be so funny having the game up again, only to have an entire new wave of refunds to handle.

 

[shubik]

I played through the whole thing on my old base PS4. Then I refunded it. Not gonna lie: I would love to play through it on my PS5 with 60fps to properly enjoy the world. Guess it´s soon time to look for a really cheap used copy or I´ll wait if it will be included in one of the PS store sales

 

[DonJorginho]

You could Wishlist it this entire time it has been down btw, you just needed it in your library (if you refunded it, it would be locked but still allow you to wishlist it)

 

[SJRB]

So is there an update coming soon or something?

Presumably, yes. They've been testing their latest patch for quite a few weeks now.

what a shitty thing to do

maybe but this is it reappearing in search results.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Not touching this game until a proper ps5 version.

I've waited this long. Might as well wait a few more months.

 

[DonJorginho]

maybe but this is it reappearing in search results.

I'll deffo buy it again, it's a flawed game but a fun one at that.

 

[Inviusx]

Curious if it will go back up at full price

 

[shubik]

what a shitty thing to do

Is ist? I thought shipping a game for full price knowing that it is broken was a shitty thing to do. But what do I know...

 

[waquzy]

Is ist? I thought shipping a game for full price knowing that it is broken was a shitty thing to do. But what do I know...

It is. It's like going to a restaurant, ordering a steak, finishing your meal, then going up to the manager and saying it tasted like shit and you want your money back.

 

[DonJorginho]

It is. It's like going to a restaurant, ordering a steak, finishing your meal, then going up to the manager and saying it tasted like shit and you want your money back.

CDPR took people's money knowing that they were lying to their faces about what game they were delivering and the state it was in.

It goes both ways.

 

[shubik]

Sorry bad comparison. I clicked on refund day one when it was possible on that PlayStation landingpage. It took them over a month to process and lock the game for me. CDPR should be lucky that not everybody clicked on refund. The game was almost unplayable at the launch state. Shipping a product in this state is not only shitty it should be criminal. They knew what they did and they even tried to hide it.

 

[shubik]

CDPR took people's money knowing that they were lying to their faces about what game they were delivering and the state it was in.

I never did anything like that before. But it was deserved and it felt good. I don´t hate CDPR and they can all make it up again but let´s not normalize this scam attempt

 

[waquzy]

Fair enough then

 

[DonJorginho]

Fair enough then

That happened to me too, I hit refund and it took 3 weeks so i continued playing as I thought my refund wouldn't come.

Then suddenly one day it locked and the money went in my account, everybody wins.

 

[shubik]

Fair enough then

I was honestly surprised that I could access the game for such a long time. It took me even by surprise when I suddenly recieved a notification that the process is finished. At that point, I have deleted the game from the console and have forgotten about the money.

 

[nightmare-slain]

Is ist? I thought shipping a game for full price knowing that it is broken was a shitty thing to do. But what do I know...

yeah it is. CDPR should never have release the game in that state so i'm not defending them. if you played through the entire game and asked for your money back then that's a dick move.

 

[shubik]

As I wrote above: I clicked on refund as soon as it was possible. Not my fault that it takes SONY over a month to process it. Nice try shaming me though

 

[xrnzaaas]

Ah yes, because it’s so fixed now.

The performance of the game on the previous gen consoles won't improve anymore because of their obvious limitations (unless you want to start playing in 720p).

Can't comment on the bugs, because I haven't played the latest build.

 

[Banjo64]

How do you know it isn't a pre-order page for a PS5 version which is going to be listed soon? The next-gen versions are surely getting close, at this stage. Sony may well allow the next gen version as it won't have the performance issues, yet still refuse to allow the PS4 version to return.

This is the answer.

 

[Rudius]

I'll wait for the PS5 patch at this point. 1080p60 in backwards compatibility is nice enough, but it could look better on the PS5.

 

[Sybrix]

this is one of those games that will have a review (2022) version lol

I was never going to buy it until i got my 3080 which doesn't look possible until 2022 anyway, hopefully by then it'll be in a fit state to play

 

[jaysius]

This game needs heavy discounts, the Xbox store discounts have been pathetic, the typical less than $20 off. Making it still $63.99 while I picked it up for $30 CND on Amazon.ca.

 

[cireza]

Is ist?

Yes, it ist. You played the game in its entirety.

 

[shubik]

Yes, it ist. You played the game in its entirety.

Cool. Thx for your moral judgment.

 

[cireza]

Cool. Thx for your moral judgment.

No problem. Ask me anytime.

reduce it to 720p then. Didn't a few xbox one games at the start of the gen play at 720?

I'm kinda surprised it is coming back so soon. I was expecting it to come out late this year or maybe even next year. Originally I thought the game would come back to playsation when the ps5 patch was available later this year.

 

[balls of snow]

Too bad mods are not a thing. Im rocking the bladerunner mod with gloomy weather mod. Revelatory experience just walking around doing side gigs here and there.

 

[anthony2690]

Where’s the next gen roadmap?!?

I got the disc sitting here looking pretty

H2 2022, I'm pretty unhappy with it, as my copy is still sealed on the shelf waiting for the update, as it was advertised as 2021 originally. :/

Edit: I could have read the new roadmap graph wrong, so please ignore my comment

 

[Punished Miku]

Its an e3 miracle

 

[SuperSaiyanWithDreads]

Got for $20 brand new at Gamestop. Will play on my PS5 soon.

 

[DonJorginho]

H2 2022, I'm pretty unhappy with it, as my copy is still sealed on the shelf waiting for the update, as it was advertised as 2021 originally. :/

I think it's still set for 2021, just the last graph they released wasn't clear.

 

[Burythelight]

Ah yes, because it’s so fixed now.

Better than before. That's sure

 

[M1chl]

Well, they fixed jack shit tho.

 

[kretos]

 

[anthony2690]

I think it's still set for 2021, just the last graph they released wasn't clear.

I hope I'm wrong then, because despite the backlash the game got at launch, I am really looking forward to playing this game I've kept myself away from anything story related.
