Cyberpunk 2077 is a 2020 action role-playing game developed by CD Projekt Red and published by CD Projekt. Based on Mike Pondsmith's Cyberpunk tabletop game series, the plot is set in the fictional metropolis of Night City, California, within the dystopian Cyberpunk universe. The player assumes the role of V (voiced by Gavin Drea or Cherami Leigh), a mercenary who gets reluctantly imbued with a cybernetic "bio-chip" containing an engram of legendary rockstar and terrorist Johnny Silverhand (voiced by Keanu Reeves). As Johnny's consciousness begins overwriting V's own, the two must work together to separate from each other and save V's life.

The game's development began following the release of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – Blood and Wine (2016). The game was developed by a team of around 500 people using the REDengine 4 game engine. CD Projekt launched a new division in Wrocław, Poland, and partnered with Digital Scapes, Nvidia, QLOC, and Jali Research to aid the production. Cyberpunk creator Mike Pondsmith was a consultant. The original score was led by Marcin Przybyłowicz, and featured the contributions of several licensed artists. After years of anticipation, Cyberpunk 2077 was released for PlayStation 4, Google Stadia, Windows, and Xbox One on 10 December 2020, followed by PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S on 15 February 2022, and Nintendo Switch 2 on 5 June 2025 as a launch title; a macOS version is in development.

Cyberpunk 2077 received praise from critics for its narrative, setting, and graphics. However, some of its gameplay elements received mixed responses while its themes and representation of transgender characters received some criticism. It was also widely criticized for bugs and glitches, particularly on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions. Sony removed it from the PlayStation Store from December 2020 to June 2021 while CD Projekt rectified some of the issues. CD Projekt became subject to investigations and class-action lawsuits for their perceived attempts at downplaying the severity of the technical problems before release; these were ultimately cleared with a settlement of US$1.85 million. Its total cost to develop and market (including updates and DLC) is reportedly between $436 million and $441 million, making it one of the most expensive video games to develop. By November 2024, the game had sold over 30 million units, making it one of the best-selling games of all time. A DLC expansion, Phantom Liberty, was released for PlayStation 5, Windows, and Xbox Series X/S on 26 September 2023. A sequel, Cyberpunk 2, was announced in October 2022 and is in development.

= Plot =

The game begins with one of three lifepaths for the player character V: Nomad, Streetkid, or Corpo. Each lifepath ultimately involves V partnering with street thug Jackie Welles. The two begin working as mercenaries in Night City along with netrunner, T-Bug.

In 2077, local fixer Dexter "Dex" DeShawn hires V and Jackie to steal a biochip known as "the Relic" from Arasaka Corporation. They acquire the Relic, but the plan goes awry when they witness the murder of the megacorp's leader Saburo Arasaka at the hands of his son Yorinobu. Yorinobu covers up the murder as a poisoning and triggers a security sweep, in which T-Bug is killed. V and Jackie escape, but Jackie is fatally wounded in the process while the Relic's protective case is damaged, forcing V to insert the biochip into their head.

Furious at the unwanted attention, Dex shoots V in the head and leaves them for dead in a landfill. Upon awakening, V is haunted by the digital ghost of war veteran turned iconic rock star and terrorist Johnny Silverhand, believed to have died in 2023 during his own thermonuclear attack on Arasaka Tower. V is then rescued by Saburo's bodyguard Goro Takemura on Arasaka's orders, as they are the prime suspect in Saburo's death, but the duo are attacked by Arasaka assassins sent by Yorinobu. They fend off the attackers and reach V's ripperdoc Viktor Vector, who reveals that resurrection nanotech on the biochip saved V's life, but also started an irreversible process that would overwrite V's consciousness with Johnny's, whose memory engram is stored on the chip. V has only a few weeks before the process completes, and the biochip cannot be removed without instantly killing V, so V must find a way to remove Johnny and survive.

Inferring from the assassins that V is innocent of Saburo's murder, Takemura and V start working together. From here, V follows up on two different leads: tracking down Arasaka's head doctor Anders Hellman, which V accomplishes by working with Panam Palmer, a member of the Aldecaldos nomad clan; and finding and rescuing Evelyn Parker, Dex's client who commissioned the gig. After capturing Anders, V attempts to contact Evelyn Parker for help, only to learn that she was kidnapped by a gang. With the help of Evelyn's friend Judy Álvarez, they are able to save her, but Evelyn is in a near-death state. By viewing Evelyn's memories through a braindance, V gets in contact with the Voodoo Boys, a gang of netrunners. Evelyn later commits suicide as a result of psychological trauma stemming from her being raped while kidnapped.

Through the Voodoo Boys, V relives Johnny's memories, learning that in 2013, Johnny's then-girlfriend Alt Cunningham created Soulkiller, an artificial intelligence able to copy netrunners' minds through their neural links, but destroyed the target's brain in the process. Arasaka kidnapped Alt and forced her to create their own version of Soulkiller, which would store the minds of its targets in Arasaka's digital fortress, Mikoshi. With the help of his friend Rogue Amendiares, Johnny led a rescue effort to save Alt, but failed to find her before Arasaka used Soulkiller on her; Johnny's later thermonuclear attack was a cover to free Alt's consciousness from Arasaka's subnet, but Arasaka's head of security Adam Smasher captured him and used Soulkiller on him as well. By 2077, Arasaka was advertising a "Secure Your Soul" program and conducting secret research into writing a digital copy of a mind into a living human brain, from which the Relic arose.

V also gets in contact with Alt's consciousness, which has escaped beyond the Blackwall, a firewall which protects the net from rogue AIs. With Johnny's mediation, V makes a deal with Alt, that if they can give Alt access to Arasaka's subnet and gain physical access to Mikoshi, Alt can use Soulkiller to separate V's and Johnny's consciousness.

Working with Takemura, V helps him capture Yorinobu's sister, Hanako Arasaka, to convince her of Yorinobu's treachery. After defeating Takemura's former student Oda, they escort Hanako to a safe house and convince her of V's innocence, but V is forced to flee when Arasaka soldiers close in. Eventually, V must decide whether to mount an attack on Arasaka Tower to gain physical access to Mikoshi and use Soulkiller to remove Johnny from their body, or to make a deal with Hanako to extract the Relic.

If V chooses to attack Arasaka Tower, depending upon player actions throughout the game, V can choose different options to conduct the attack. V can allow Johnny to take over and stage the attack with Rogue, suppress Johnny and mount the attack with their nomad allies from the Aldecaldos clan, mount the attack solo, or simply commit suicide. All options (except for the suicide one) end with V defeating Adam Smasher. If V chooses to make a deal with Hanako instead, they convince the Arasaka board that Yorinobu killed Saburo, and oust Yorinobu as CEO, with V defeating Smasher. Hanako honors her deal with V and, after inserting an engram of Saburo into Yorinobu to avenge Saburo's murder, has Arasaka doctors extract the Relic from V. In all cases, it is revealed that the damage to V's body is irreversible. Depending on player choice, V either requests Arasaka upload them into Mikoshi until a suitable host body is found, remains in their body with an uncertain life expectancy, or allows Johnny to take over permanently (only achievable through attacking Arasaka). If V assaults Arasaka and chooses to remain in their body, they either become a Night City legend, or leave Night City with the Aldecaldos clan hoping to find a way to prolong their lifespan. If V surrenders their body to Johnny, the latter pays his respects to his friends and leaves Night City to start a new life.

A fourth conclusion, unlocked through the Phantom Liberty expansion, diverges sharply from the endings above. If V ultimately betrays Songbird by surrendering her to Solomon Reed during the questlines "Killing Moon" or "Somewhat Damaged", Reed honors his promise to arrange experimental surgery for V. The operation succeeds in separating Johnny’s engram, but the invasive procedure destroys V’s neural link to all cyberware. After awakening in an FIA-run hospital in Langley, Virginia, V learns they have spent two years in a coma and can never again safely install implants. Returning briefly to Night City, V discovers that most friends have moved on—Panam has left the city, Judy is married and living in Pittsburgh, River is in hiding, and Viktor is unable to help. With no chrome and no underworld reputation, V walks into the crowd as an ordinary citizen, their mercenary life permanently over.{{cite web |last=Harvey |first=Angie |date=24 October 2023 |title=How Phantom Liberty Changes the Base Game Ending |url=https://www.ign.com/wikis/cyberpunk-2077/How_Phantom_Liberty_Changes_the_Base_Game_Ending |access-date=21 May 2025 |website=IGN}}

Development

File:Mike Pondsmith, Gamelab 2017 (35483365351) cropped.jpg was consulted by CD Projekt Red on the development of Cyberpunk 2077{{'}}s story.]]

Preliminary work on Cyberpunk 2077 began following the release of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings Enhanced Edition (2012). CD Projekt Red—CD Projekt's internal development studio—approached Mike Pondsmith, the writer of Cyberpunk and founder of R. Talsorian Games, in early 2012, sending him a copy of The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings (2011). Impressed with the studio's unparalleled knowledge of the Cyberpunk universe at the time, Pondsmith and CD Projekt Red reached an agreement to license Cyberpunk{{'}}s story from the year 2077 onward to CD Projekt Red, while Pondsmith retained the rights for media in the Cyberpunk universe set up until the year 2077. To ensure Cyberpunk{{'}}s story remained cohesive during development, Pondsmith served as a consultant on Cyberpunk 2077. Pondsmith's experience at Microsoft developing games such as Crimson Skies (2000) and Blood Wake (2001), and at Monolith Productions developing The Matrix Online (2005), provided valuable wisdom to CD Projekt Red, in comparison to Polish writer Andrzej Sapkowski's indifference towards the studio during the development of The Witcher (2007) and The Witcher 2.{{Cite web |last=Purchese |first=Robert |date=13 July 2017 |title=Making Cyberpunk: when Mike Pondsmith met CD Projekt Red |url=https://www.eurogamer.net/making-cyberpunk-when-mike-pondsmith-met-cd-projekt-red |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250114184226/https://www.eurogamer.net/making-cyberpunk-when-mike-pondsmith-met-cd-projekt-red |archive-date=14 January 2025 |access-date=14 January 2025 |website=Eurogamer}}

The concept of Cyberpunk 2077 was adapted from Pondsmith's Cyberpunk series. Antithetical to the stereotypical cyberpunk genre, the concepts explored in Cyberpunk evoke a sense of rebellion and whimsy while retaining the genre's grim tone. The protagonist of Cyberpunk—in comparison to the typical archetype of a hero attempting to save the world—attempts to save themself from a downtrodden and lowly perspective. Lead gameplay designer Marcin Janiszewski sought to remind players of its connection to the Cyberpunk universe, writing, "We want to assure fans of the pen-and-paper game that this is still the same Cyberpunk you know". In comparison to CD Projekt Red's development on The Witcher series, the time difference between the events of Cyberpunk and Cyberpunk 2077 allotted the studio more freedom towards adapting the series, although they attempted to stay true to Pondsmith's original works.{{Cite web |last=Webster |first=Andrew |date=25 January 2013 |title=Braindancing in Night City: inside the dark new world of 'Cyberpunk 2077' |url=https://www.theverge.com/2013/1/25/3911942/inside-cyberpunk-2077-cd-projekt-rpg |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250114182403/https://www.theverge.com/2013/1/25/3911942/inside-cyberpunk-2077-cd-projekt-rpg |archive-date=14 January 2025 |access-date=14 January 2025 |website=The Verge}}

Cyberpunk 2077, by extension, presents an alternate history, in which the United States became mired in wars in Central America in the 1980s deeply undermining its power and economy, the Soviet Union failed to dissolve and Japan became a superpower, diffusing its culture as far as California. The events of Cyberpunk 2077 take place in the fictitious Night City, a megalopolis immersed in Japanese culture that lies between Los Angeles and San Francisco. Stereotypical cyberpunk motifs, such as sadism, commercialization, cruelty, and satisfaction, remain as mainstays in the political landscape of Night City.{{Cite web |last=Robertson |first=Adi |date=7 December 2020 |title=Cyberpunk 2077 is huge, ambitious, and safe |url=https://www.theverge.com/22157995/cyberpunk-2077-cd-projekt-red-review-xbox-ps4-ps5-pc-stadia |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250114182223/https://www.theverge.com/22157995/cyberpunk-2077-cd-projekt-red-review-xbox-ps4-ps5-pc-stadia |archive-date=14 January 2025 |access-date=14 January 2025 |website=The Verge}} A hedonistic wonderland, Night City is divided into two distinct classes: the downtrodden, who use psychedelic substances and physically augmented sex workers as a form of escapism, while the elite corporate class (known as "corpos") dominate society and are afforded great financial success.{{Cite web |last=Rosenberg |first=Adam |date=9 December 2020 |title='Cyberpunk 2077' is a wondrous creation trailed by a mile-long line of asterisks |url=https://mashable.com/article/cyberpunk-2077-review |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250114182213/https://mashable.com/article/cyberpunk-2077-review |archive-date=14 January 2025 |access-date=14 January 2025 |website=Mashable}}

Cyberpunk 2077 was developed using REDengine 4, the fourth iteration of CD Projekt Red's internal game engine.{{Cite web |last=Zollner |first=Amelia |date=16 May 2022 |title=Cyberpunk 2077 In Unreal Engine 5 Offers a Glimpse Of What CD Projekt Red Was Trying To Pull Off |url=https://www.ign.com/articles/cyberpunk-2077-unreal-engine-5 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250114164542/https://www.ign.com/articles/cyberpunk-2077-unreal-engine-5 |archive-date=14 January 2025 |access-date=14 January 2025 |website=IGN}} REDengine 3, REDengine 4's predecessor, implemented improvements to terrain and vegetation rendering. To achieve this, regions are streamed from a clipped mipmap (through a method known as clipmapping) in memory. Six clipmaps are created in total; the elevation, control map, and colour clipmaps are streamed, while the vertical error, normal, and terrain shadow clipmaps are generated at runtime. In addition, a technique known as tessellation is used, where polygons are divided. In particular, polygon triangulation is used, where data is tessellated into triangles. The error maps are downsampled prior to hardware tessellation. This avoids costly computation, as large areas with high levels of tessellation aren't rendered. Furthermore, REDengine3 employs a radical approach to texturing; textures are painted using two textures: a background texture and an overlay texture. For slopes, the slope angle is computed and compared against a threshold value. Creating a thick cover on slopes was made possible through boosting the overlay texture when the vertex normal looked up; however, this presented complications in ground features, such as cobblestones, where improper distribution was applied. To address this, damping was added, along with blend sharpening. These measures created an ultimately low memory footprint.{{Cite web |last=Gollent |first=Marcin |date=March 2014 |title=Landscape Creation and Rendering in REDengine 3 |url=https://www.gdcvault.com/play/1020197/Landscape-Creation-and-Rendering-in |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250114171119/https://www.gdcvault.com/play/1020197/Landscape-Creation-and-Rendering-in |archive-date=14 January 2025 |access-date=14 January 2025 |website=Game Developers Conference |publisher=Informa TechTarget |language=en}} Other advancements made by REDengine 3 include refined animations, volumetric effects allowing for advanced rendering of particle effects, such as clouds, dynamic physics, and an advanced dialogue mimic system.

REDengine 4 implemented various lighting adjustments to create a more realistic world, including hardware-accelerated real-time ray tracing through DirectX, global illumination, diffuse illumination, and ambient occlusion. These features are not present on the console versions of the game. Other features include physically based rendering—an improvement over REDengine 3, screen space reflections, and pin sharp reflections, although the player's character is omitted from the bounding volume hierarchy structure generated ray-traced reflections. The player's character does appear, however, in render to texture objects, such as mirrors. Improvements to shadows include cascaded shadow maps, screen space shadows, and ray-traced shadows with contact hardening, while improvements to character rendering include subsurface scattering and realistic skin shading. These features introduced computational complexity, testing older consoles, such as the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.{{Cite web |last=Linneman |first=John |date=10 December 2020 |title=Cyberpunk 2077 PC tech analysis: a closer look at the ultra high-end experience |url=https://www.eurogamer.net/digitalfoundry-2020-cyberpunk-2077-high-end-pc-tech-analysis |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250114165336/https://www.eurogamer.net/digitalfoundry-2020-cyberpunk-2077-high-end-pc-tech-analysis |archive-date=14 January 2025 |access-date=14 January 2025 |website=Eurogamer}} Cyberpunk 2077 uses vertical asset streaming, or culling, a rendering technique that omits objects below and above the player's field of view.

When designing Night City, the art design team at CD Projekt Red took multiple sources of inspiration. German industrial designer Dieter Rams and American neo-futurist concept artist Syd Mead inspired the team, who used Rams' elegance to juxtapose the low-class neighborhoods in Night City and Mead's vibrant colours and materialism to create the demeanor of Night City, in what the team called "kitsch". Building these environments took the team eight years.{{Cite magazine |last=Rivera |first=Joshua |date=14 December 2020 |title=Inside the Design of Cyberpunk 2077's Urban Dystopia |url=https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/inside-the-design-of-cyberpunk-2077s-urban-dystopia |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20241215143218/https://www.architecturaldigest.com/story/inside-the-design-of-cyberpunk-2077s-urban-dystopia |archive-date=15 December 2024 |access-date=15 December 2024 |magazine=Architectural Digest |issn=0003-8520}} To create a cyberpunk look for Night City, the team incorporated retro and futuristic elements. To accomplish this, the team looked at dilapidated or old-fashioned buildings—aspects of a familiar reality—with futurism. "For example, you could have a run down building with an old wooden door, but an LED light might be attached to that door, which could be a part of a high-tech security system," Hiroshi Sakakibara, Environment City Coordinator at CD Projekt Red, said during a Cyberpunk 2077 livestream at Tokyo Game Show 2020.

To develop the world building in Night City, the team used four distinct visual styles—austere Entropism, colourful Kitsch, imposing Neomilitarism, and opulent Neokitsch—to explain what happened to the world prior to the events of the game. Bulky cars and unappealing buildings represent Entropism, an architectural style that came about through necessity. In Entropism, practicality is valued more than aesthetics. As the economy recovered, the vibrant style of Kitsch gained traction. The style of Kitsch was countered with Neomilitarism, an ascetic movement where the rise of corporations undid many of the stylistic decisions made in Entropism. Finally, Neokitsch incorporated the classist systems in Neomilitarism with the vibrance of Kitsch. In Neokitsch, the rich use scarce materials, such as wood and marble, to construct their buildings, and wear clothes from animals.{{Cite web |last=Batchelor |first=James |date=18 September 2019 |title=The 57 years of unseen work that built Cyberpunk 2077's Night City |url=https://www.gamesindustry.biz/the-57-years-of-unseen-work-that-built-cyberpunk-2077s-night-city |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250114161754/https://www.gamesindustry.biz/the-57-years-of-unseen-work-that-built-cyberpunk-2077s-night-city |archive-date=14 January 2025 |access-date=14 January 2025 |website=GamesIndustry.biz}} Night City features six districts, each with a unique gusto.

The team used the digital compositing software Nuke to design Night City. A challenge for the team was creating a global illumination system that would cast a variety of light sources on narrow streets.

The seizure was triggered by the game's "braindance" sequence, which contains red and white flashing lights that reportedly resemble the patterns produced by medical devices used to intentionally trigger seizures.{{Cite magazine |last=Ruppert |first=Liana |date=7 December 2020 |title=Cyberpunk 2077 Epileptic PSA |url=https://www.gameinformer.com/2020/12/07/cyberpunk-2077-epileptic-psa |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201210193532/https://www.gameinformer.com/2020/12/07/cyberpunk-2077-epileptic-psa |archive-date=10 December 2020 |access-date=10 December 2020 |magazine=Game Informer |issn=1067-6392}}{{Cite news |last=Gault |first=Matthew |date=8 December 2020 |title='Cyberpunk 2077' Triggered Game Reviewer to Have Epileptic Seizure |url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/cyberpunk-2077-triggered-game-reviewer-to-have-epileptic-seizure/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250114040757/https://www.vice.com/en/article/cyberpunk-2077-triggered-game-reviewer-to-have-epileptic-seizure/ |archive-date=14 January 2025 |access-date=14 January 2025 |work=Vice News |language=en}} At this point, Cyberpunk 2077 included only a generic warning about "flashing lights and images" in its EULA, with no specific warnings about the sequence or instructions on how to skip it.{{Cite news |last=Klepek |first=Patrick |date=14 December 2020 |title=It's Not Just Cyberpunk, Video Games Need to Take Epilepsy More Seriously |url=https://www.vice.com/en/article/its-not-just-cyberpunk-video-games-needs-to-take-epilepsy-more-seriously/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250114042547/https://www.vice.com/en/article/its-not-just-cyberpunk-video-games-needs-to-take-epilepsy-more-seriously/ |archive-date=14 January 2025 |access-date=14 January 2025 |work=Vice News |language=en}} In response, CD Projekt Red made a public statement and reached out to Ruppert.{{Cite web |last=Lyles |first=Taylor |date=8 December 2020 |title=Cyberpunk 2077 to add new epilepsy warning as devs work on a permanent fix |url=https://www.theverge.com/2020/12/8/22163783/cyberpunk-2077-epileptic-seizure-warning-permanent-fix-cd-projekt-red |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201210132958/https://www.theverge.com/2020/12/8/22163783/cyberpunk-2077-epileptic-seizure-warning-permanent-fix-cd-projekt-red |archive-date=10 December 2020 |access-date=10 December 2020 |website=The Verge}}{{Cite news |date=9 December 2020 |title=Cyberpunk adds epilepsy warning after reviewer warns of seizures |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-55231183 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20250114040438/https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-55231183 |archive-date=14 January 2025 |access-date=14 January 2025 |work=BBC News |language=en}} The company then released a patch to add a warning, and issued a later patch on 11 December to reduce the risk of inducing epileptic symptoms.{{Cite web |last=Peters |first=Jay |date=11 December 2020 |title=Cyberpunk 2077's 1.04 patch makes changes to reduce epilepsy risk |url=https://www.theverge.com/2020/12/11/22170547/cyberpunk-2077-update-hotfix-cd-projekt-red-epilepsy-risk-braindance |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201213111023/https://www.theverge.com/2020/12/11/22170547/cyberpunk-2077-update-hotfix-cd-projekt-red-epilepsy-risk-braindance |archive-date=13 December 2020 |access-date=19 December 2020 |website=The Verge}} In an email to The Washington Post, Stephanie Bayer, the North American communications director for CD Projekt Red, stated that the developers had incorporated Ruppert's suggestions and "adjusted the entire sequence" so it would no longer be a seizure trigger.{{Cite news |last=Favis |first=Elise |date=31 December 2020 |title=A journalist had a seizure while playing 'Cyberpunk 2077.'

Prior to the release of the game, CD Projekt Red provided review copies of Cyberpunk to several major outlets. CD Projekt Red issued strict review embargo terms on these review copies, requiring reviewers to sign non-disclosure agreements (NDA) and only allowing for footage provided by the company to be shown in reviews; according to Wired (which did not receive a reviewer copy), violating the NDA could cost around $27,000 per violation.{{Cite magazine |last=D'Anastasio |first=Cecilia |date=15 December 2020 |title=How Cyberpunk 2077 Sold a Promise—and Rigged the System |url=https://www.wired.com/story/cyberpunk-2077-bugs-reviews-nda/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201221140111/https://www.wired.com/story/cyberpunk-2077-bugs-reviews-nda/ |archive-date=21 December 2020 |access-date=21 December 2020 |magazine=Wired |language=en-us |issn=1078-3148}} Concern also arose over the fact review copies were issued for the PC version of the game, ensuring that all pre-release reviews related to the PC version of the game, excluding consoles.

Jason Schreier of Bloomberg News said that, based on discussions with CD Projekt developers, a major reason for the poor performance of Cyberpunk 2077 on release was underestimating the effort that would be needed. While more than twice as many developers were brought on board to help with the game compared to The Witcher 3, CD Projekt had only expected the same amount of time to complete the game, so that the bulk of development towards the game only began in late 2016. The expanded scope of Cyberpunk 2077 including the game's new engine had created difficulties, and while there were more developers, there was less organization of their various functions that further hampered the development, according to Schreier's report. Many developers urged management to hold off on the game's release.{{Cite news |last=Schreier |first=Jason |author-link=Jason Schreier |date=16 January 2021 |title=Inside Cyberpunk 2077's Disastrous Rollout |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-01-16/cyberpunk-2077-what-caused-the-video-game-s-disastrous-rollout |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221121050333/https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-01-16/cyberpunk-2077-what-caused-the-video-game-s-disastrous-rollout |archive-date=21 November 2022 |access-date=21 November 2022 |work=Bloomberg News}} Co-CEO Marcin Iwiński issued an open message to players on 13 January 2021, apologizing for the state of the game and the company's plans to correct it. Iwiński stated that the company "underestimated the risk" in bringing a game optimized to run on personal computers over to consoles, particularly the older Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles. He specifically faulted the in-game streaming engine that was used to load in assets from storage on the fly as the player moved through the game, which was scaled back to work on the older consoles.{{Cite web |last=Orland |first=Kyle |date=13 January 2021 |title=CDPR CEO blames "in-game streaming" for Cyberpunk's console problems |url=https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2021/01/cdpr-ceo-blames-in-game-streaming-for-cyberpunks-console-problems/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210909035155/https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2021/01/cdpr-ceo-blames-in-game-streaming-for-cyberpunks-console-problems/ |archive-date=9 September 2021 |access-date=13 January 2021 |website=Ars Technica}} While they had tested these versions as they approached release, they had not seen the same issues that players had reported in the released version.
