However, while these changes let the positive qualities of Cyberpunk 2077 shine through, the game is still far from perfect, and possibly even far from the game many initially fell in love with thanks to that E3 2018 preview. CD Projekt RED has added ray tracing, improved NPC civilian behavior, and so much more. To be fair, Cyberpunk 2077 is barely recognizable from the glitchy, unoptimized disappointment that was released onto PCs and consoles in 2020.
Or maybe sales bring out intrigued gamers. It’s almost as if the game goes through cycles. Now, several months before the release of Cyberpunk 2077’s DLC, Phantom Liberty, interest in Cyberpunk 2077 is surging.
And then Cyberpunk: Edgerunners took the internet by storm and reinvigorated interest in the source material. Update after update, patch after patch, the game slowly improved until it was in the state it should have been released in. However, CD Projekt Red has stuck with Cyberpunk 2077. The game was released in a buggy and broken state, falling dismally short of the quality fans had expected from the studio behind The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Cyberpunk 2077 is the experience that refuses to die.
