Cyberpunk 2077: 9 Major Fixes It Needs ASAP

Despite being eight years in the oven, CD Projekt RED's followup to the iconic Witcher 3... is a smouldering tire fire on everything other than PC and next-gen hardware.

Even on both PS5 and Xbox Series X|S we're seeing repeat crashes, quest-breaking bugs and animation clipping, but that's nothing compared to the millions of customers who pre-ordered on PS4 and Xbox One (or the half-step systems that came after), only to receive a staggeringly broken product.

Worse still, CDPR restricted access to these versions of the game before launch. Reviewers - like ourselves - were only given PC code, told to capture our own gameplay at a later date, and pre-launch console copies in the wild were copyright struck on Youtube.

Clearly, CDPR knew they had a stinker on their hands and were attempting to minimise blowback, which has now more than exploded.

Still, whether we're diving into things that need patching ASAP or general thoughts on how the entirety of the game feels, Cyberpunk's reception is triggering endless conversations on the good and the bad, with a handful of key negatives repeatedly coming up.

Here's to getting the game working properly on consoles, because if the PC version is anything to go by, there's an incredible RPG buried somewhere underneath all the jank.
