Cyberpunk 2077 Refunds are given from players due to bug-infested gameplay
- Tech Backbone
On the PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam consoles, Cyberpunk 2077 players are currently receiving refunds for digital copies. Cyberpunk 2077, released worldwide on December 10, was one of the most anticipated game launches this year, thanks to the impressive record of producer CD Projekt Red with the critically lauded 2015 action-RPG, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. However, players were riddled by disappointing glitches upon game launch, which seriously undermined the visuals and gameplay on all platforms. Today, players have taken to Reddit to say that after reports, PlayStation is offering refunds for the game's digital copies.
A Reddit user posted information of getting full refunds for his game of Cyberpunk 2077 on PlayStation 4, according to a post by VGC. The user pointed out that for more than 10 hours, the game was played, far exceeding the normal two-hour playtime window that is normally applied for a good refund. It should be borne in mind that for games, Sony has no fixed return policy. Sony does not seem to hold back to keep its consumers happy, however, given the growing outrage from fans about the game.

The user said in the Reddit article that he had to get on a PlayStation help chat via the US customer service line of the business. Therefore, it may be likely that the refunds are only made available in the United States by Sony. Customers can receive a refund from Microsoft for the Xbox digital editions, as well as Steam for PC editions, according to a study by GameSpot.
Gamers took to Twitter to share many instances of irritating, and often funny, bugs using #CyberBug2077 to vent their annoyance about the multitudes of bugs in the title. Although some posts on consoles displayed immensely low graphics quality, others showed instances where NPCs walked through walls and ceilings, or where in the centre of the game the player actually got trapped.

CD Projekt recently announced that the company will take full responsibility for the update, considering the documented glitches and Twitter outrage, and that staff would get full compensation regardless of how the game is reviewed. "Adam Badowski, studio head and creative director for Cyberpunk 2077, wrote in an email to staff, "We originally had an incentive scheme that was based on the game's scores and the release date, but after reflection, we agree that calculation is actually not fair under the circumstances. "In order to make this a reality, we underestimated the length and complexity involved, and you still did everything you could to deliver an ambitious, special game."
