Cyberpunk 2077 cd projekt red apologizes DLC

CD Projekt Red founder apologizes to the “gamers,” Cyberpunk 2077 DLC will come after fixes

Patches before DLC.

In a video message to the “gamers,” CD Projekt Red co-founder Marcin IwiÅ„ski apologized for the broken, unfinished state Cyberpunk 2077 was in at launch. Specifically, the message was aimed at those who purchased the game on Xbox One and PlayStation 4. In the message, IwiÅ„ski promised that improvements are on the way to both console and PC. However, the renewed imperative on said fixes will now push the free DLC for Cyberpunk 2077 to make way for critical updates.

We don’t normally report on console news and happenings, but not even us PC owners could have missed the furor on launch day. The game was nearly unplayable on the aging consoles, forcing Sony to remove the game from its online marketplace and start issuing refunds.

IwiÅ„ski explained the mistakes CD Projekt Red made with the console release. He said that the team was focused on making the game look its best on the PC platform before paring it down for consoles. However, he admitted the developer “underestimated the task.”

I, and the entire leadership team, are deeply sorry for this, and this video is me publicly owning up to that. Please don’t fault any of our teams for what happened. They all are incredibly talented and hardworking. Myself and the board are the final decision-makers, and it was our call to release the game. Although, believe me, we never ever intended for anything like this to happen. I assure you that we’ll do our best to regain your trust.

CD Projekt Red apologizes, Cyberpunk 2077 DLC takes a back seat

The video was hosted on Cyberpunk 2077‘s web page, along with a Q&A and a new roadmap. Cyberpunk‘s 2021 roadmap shows the imminent release of patch 1.1, which IwiÅ„ski said will drop in around 10 days. It will be followed closely by patch 1.2, and then the game will receive “multiple updates & improvements” throughout the year. The two aforementioned patches supersede CD Projekt Red’s plan for the free DLCs, which will now release early 2021, but not before the major fixes.
