A
tweet from CD PROJEKT RED expresses apologies for the poor performance of
Cyberpunk 2077 on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 (thanks Simon). They outline
what's being done about this and offer refunds to dissatisfied customers for the
next week:
Dear gamers,
First of all, we would like to start by apologizing to you for not
showing the game on base last-gen consoles before it premiered and, in
consequence, not allowing you to make a more informed decision about your
purchase. We should have paid more attention to making it play better on
PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Second, we will fix bugs and crashes, and improve the overall experience. The
first round of updates has just been released and the next one is coming within
the next 7 days. Expect more, as we will update frequently whenever new
improvements are ready. After the holidays, will continue working will release
two large patches starting with Patch #1 in January. This will be followed by
Patch #2 in February. Together these should fix the most prominent problems
gamers are facing on last-gen consoles. We will be informing you about the
contents of each patch ahead of their release. They won't make the game on
last-gen look like its running on a high-spec PC or next-gen console, but it
will be closer to that experience than it is now.
Finally, we would always like everyone who buys our games to be satisfied with
their purchase. We would appreciate it if you would give us a chance, but if you
are not pleased with the game on your console and don't want to wait for
updates, you can opt to refund your copy. For copies purchased digitally, please
use the refund system of PSN or Xbox respectively. For boxed versions, please
first try to get a refund at the store where you bought the game. Should this
not be possible, please contact us at helpmerefund@cdprojektred.com and we will
do our best to help you. Starting from today, you can contact us for a week up
until December 21st, 2020.
Humbly

Nielubowicz, Piotr Karowski
PS. PC gamers will also be getting regular updates and fixes improving the
game.
