After a somewhat, um, non-triumphant debut on PlayStation consoles, Cyberpunk 2077 was unceremoniously booted from the PlayStation Store in an unprecedented act of "fix your stuff" by Sony. Well, CD Projekt Red and Sony now seem to agree that the game is in better working order, because Cyberpunk 2077 is back in the PlayStation Store, effective immediately.
PlayStation 5 owners can still play Cyberpunk 2077 via backwards compatibility, and a free PS5 update will be available for all users in the second half of 2021.
It would be cool if we could actually get some insight into the process that CD Projekt Red went through to get Cyberpunk 2077 into a more acceptable state. To be clear, it's still not all smooth sailing on PlayStation 4. The press release announcing Cyberpunk's return to the platform was accompanied by this disclaimer:
* Users may continue to experience some performance issues with the PS4 edition while CD PROJEKT RED further works to improve stability across all platforms. Playing on PS4 Pro and PS5 will provide the best Cyberpunk 2077 experience on PlayStation.
But at least PlayStation 4 users can get their hands on the game now. We can now all look forward to basking in the glory of another wave of endless hot takes.
