Cyberpunk 2077 delisted from the PlayStation Store

In the wake of increasing reports of Cyberpunk 2077’s bug-ridden state on PlayStation 4, Sony has stepped in to offer refunds to customers who’ve purchased the game – and, more drastically, have opted to remove it from the PlayStation Store ā€œuntil further noticeā€.

The news comes in the midst of a chaotic launch for CD Projekt Red’s anticipated action RPG. While many critics have heaped praise on the game’s PC and current-gen versions, the PS4 and Xbox One iterations were also widely described as being so glitchy as to be unplayable: Digital Foundry recently called the PlayStation 4 version ā€œunacceptableā€œ.

When players got their hands on the game and began to complain about the state of the last-gen versions, CD Projekt Red released a statement suggesting that disappointed punters could get a refund from Sony and Microsoft – without, it seems, consulting Sony and Microsoft on the matter first. The developer soon back-pedalled, telling its customers /not/ to ask Sony for a refund after all.

Sony has now taken the highly unusual step of both offering refunds and delisting the game from its digital store: a release from Sony Interactive Entertainment now states, ā€œSIE will also be removing Cyberpunk 2077 from PlayStation Store until further notice.ā€

That’s not the end of the saga, either; CD Projekt Red soon followed this news with its own statement, suggesting that the game’s removal came ā€œfollowing our discussion with PlayStation.ā€

ā€œAccording to our knowledge,ā€ the somewhat testy Twitter post reads, ā€œstarting today, everyone who is not willing to wait for updates and wants to refund their digital copy of the game, can do so by submitting a request.ā€

Cyberpunk 2077 is still available for Xbox One, Series S/X, and PC. As for the PS4 version, ā€œWe’re working hard to bring Cyberpunk 2077 back to PlayStation Store as soon as possible,ā€ its developer says.
