As it stands right now,Cyberpunk 2077has a cacophony of technical flaws that oftentimes break the player’s immersion, or break the game altogether. For how much time CD Projekt Red has invested in trying to fix and improveCyberpunk 2077, there are still several things wrong with the game. Even with the newest update installed, one PS5 player still experienced severe problems while playing.
Since the game released back in December of last year,Cyberpunk 2077’sperformance on last-generation consoles especially has been unfavorable, to say the least. Withupdate 1.2 ofCyberpunk 2077reportedly causing new problems for players upon downloading. Presumably, playing the PS4 version ofCyberpunk 2077on a PS5 allows for greater stability, but according to one player, even next-gen systems are facing similar issues as a direct result of the newest patch.

Twitter user Mutahar posted a clip ofCyberpunk 2077gameplay on PS5 after downloading the most recent patch, and after about fifteen seconds, the car clips through the ground and starts to fall into the skybox. This is nearly identical toa hole thatCyberpunk 2077players found in Night Citybefore the inevitable patches. For whatever reason, the game world won’t load properly for Mutahar, and it’s likely that other users are experiencing similar issues.
It truly is surprising at this point how many additional issues have arisen as a direct result of these patches. It’s clear thatCD Projekt Redwants to fix this game, considering it wouldn’t make much sense for the studio to intentionally make the game as buggy as it currently is. Though, the fact that the game still isn’t functioning properly for some users, in spite of these updates, is rather concerning.
Then again, similar technical issues first plaguedThe Witcher 3when it first released, and once those issues were properly addressed, the game went on to become one of the most celebrated games ever created. Given that the scope of ambitions the studio has forCyberpunk 2077is practically on par with that ofThe Witcher 3, many remain hopeful that the game will be fixed in due time.
However, as of right now,Cyberpunk 2077is still a far cry from what it could be. For users like Mutahar,Cyberpunk 2077is outright unplayable, considering that vehicles can just clip through the ground at any point. The fact thatCyberpunk 2077is still missing from the PlayStation Storenearly three months after it was first taken down is still surprising for many. All fans can do right now is hope that CD Projekt Red continues to remain aware and reactive of the issues the game has.
Cyberpunk 2077is on PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One with PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions in development.
