CD Projekt Red Is Satisfied With ‘Cyberpunk 2077’s’ Performance

It only took six months after its initial launch, but CD Projekt Red’s CEO Adam Kiciński believes that Cyberpunk 2077 has finally reached a “satisfactory” level of stability.

Kiciński spoke during the WSE Innovation Day conference (via TVN24) and discussed the current state of the game, as well as the developer’s plans to continue making improvements in the future. “We have already reached a satisfactory level [stability]. We’ve also been working on overall performance, and we’re quite happy with that. Of course, we also fixed bugs and glitches and that’s what we’re going to continue to do,” he said.

In the six months since Cyberpunk’s less-than-stellar launch, developer CD Projekt Red has released patch after patch to address the bugs and performance issues that plagued players across all platforms. Though players of the PC and next gen versions managed to receive a mostly playable game, owners of the last gen versions were stuck with crashes and performance issues that rendered the game unplayable.

That’s still largely the case, but Kiciński feels Cyberpunk has reached a point where the developer can start working on other areas of the game. “Over time, we will make improvements to the general systems that players pay attention to,” he said. Kiciński doesn’t quite elaborate further, possibly because CDPR is still in the process of shifting their focus. Perhaps these improvements will tackle certain gameplay aspects that have drawn criticism, or potentially bring change to unpolished player systems? We won’t know for sure until CDPR updates us with further news.

It’s taken a lot longer than players and CDPR were hoping for, but Cyberpunk 2077 is slowly pulling itself back up from its launch. The bug fixes and optimizations CD Projekt Red made has even been enough to see the game returned to the PlayStation Store–though Sony still cautions against playing the PS4 version. In just a few months, Cyberpunk 2077 may get closer to becoming the game that CDPR promised to deliver, so long as players are willing to give the game a second chance.
