Cyberpunk 2077 withdrawn from sale on PlayStation Store. Sony is starting the process of refunding players
Source: Pure PC added 18th Dec 2020A week ago, Cyberpunk 2077 finally made its debut, which at the moment looks best on strong computers with cards NVIDIA GeForce RTX (thanks to Ray Tracing). The game is much worse on Sony and Microsoft consoles. Although this statement is still delicate, because on PlayStation 4 or Xbox One the game works just terrible after the patch marked with the number 1.0.4. We are still waiting for update 1.0.5, but we don’t know how much it will be able to improve the game on consoles. In turn, PS5 and Xbox Series X players have to wait for a patch adapted to new generation devices. This, in turn, is not known when it will appear. Sony at night decided to make a radical move and withdrew Cyberpunk 2077 from sale in their store. The game is no longer available on PlayStation 4/5 in a digital version.
Sony decided to take a radical step and removed Cyberpunk 2077 from PlayStation Store until further notice. In addition, the company will refund all players who have purchased the digital version of the game.

Sony’s decision is an unprecedented event when it comes to blocking the sale of the game on the PlayStation Store platform. Once upon a time a similar situation took place on the PC with Batman: Arkham Knight. Today, CD Projekt RED is facing a similar problem. The terrible technical condition of the console versions had a very bad effect on the company’s reputation and it will certainly take a long time to regain the reputation (if it is possible at all). Sony announced in a special statement that Cyberpunk 2077 was withdrawing until further notice from their store. Of course, the boxed releases will still be sold and supported with patches.

In addition, Sony has offered a refund to all players who purchased the digital edition of the game from PlayStation Store. The Japanese company will verify which players have purchased the digital version. For this reason, the message mentioned that the return procedure will start after confirming the purchase of the game, and the time of the transfer will depend on the payment method and bank. Unfortunately, we don’t know when the game will be back on sale. It all depends on how quickly CD Projekt RED will be able to repair the title to an acceptable technical condition. It is obvious that Cyberpunk 2077 will not look as good on old consoles as on the new generation or PC. After all, the overwhelming number of errors preventing free gameplay are far too many.
