Sony pulls ‘Cyberpunk 2077’ from PlayStation Store, offers refunds

[Jacob Siegal]

• Sony has removed Cyberpunk 2077 from the PlayStation Store for PS4 and PS5 following an outcry from fans about the game's poor performance on consoles.
• Sony is offering full refunds to those who bought digital copies of the game on the PlayStation Store.
• Developer CD Projekt Red is working on updates to fix Cyberpunk 2077 and will continue to support all versions of the game for those who choose not to get a refund.

Buggy game launches are nothing new, but the chaos following the arrival of the highly-anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 has been uniquely destructive. Shortly before CD Projekt Red's latest title went on sale, reviews made it clear that the game was unfinished, filled with technical issues and graphical bugs. But reviewers only got access to the PC version of the game, and the console versions were even worse off. In fact, the game is so broken as to be nearly unplayable on PS4 and Xbox One for some players, and as a result, Sony has taken drastic measures.

On Thursday, Sony removed Cyberpunk 2077 from the PlayStation Store "until further notice." You can no longer buy a digital copy of the game on PS4 or PS5. In a notice on its website, Sony states that it "strives to ensure a high level of customer satisfaction," and will be offering full refunds to everyone who bought the game.
