Sony Pulls Cyberpunk 2077 From PlayStation Store

Thrice delayed and released with multiple technical issues, Cyberpunk 2077 has now been removed from PlayStation Store just one week after the release, with Sony launching a dedicated refund campaign.

In an unprecedented move, Sony announced that the ambitious title would disappear from the its store until further notice, offering refunds to all players who purchased the game via PlayStation Store.

SIE 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. SIE will also be removing Cyberpunk 2077 from PlayStation Store until further notice.

While the PC version of Cyberpunk 2077 is just as riddled with bugs and glitches as the console versions, the PS4 and Xbox One versions of the ambitious RPG also suffer from crashes and terrible performance, with players reporting poor resolution, FPS drops and textures taking painfully long to load. On Metacritic, the PlayStation 4 version game maintains a meagre average 3.1 user score, with the Xbox One score sitting slightly higher at 4.3.

Several days ago, Cyberpunk 2077 developer CD Projekt Red posted an apology for poor performance of the game on Xbox One and PlayStation 4, offering players refunds. However, it appeared as no special refund agreement was struck by CDPR and Microsoft or Sony at that time.

Cyberpunk 2077's poor performance dealt a great blow to CDPR's reputation, but at the very least it gave us some stellar memes to laugh it while the developers are fixing the product. CDPR has scheduled the arrival first major patch for January 2021.
