Are reviewers also maybe not to blame or maybe partly to blame?
If you're exempt from showing console footage and only that which the developer provides then surely that should raise some red flags, no?
I'm sure they did know. As did Xbox.
It's pure fuckery all around.

I believe they aware of all issues and CDPR said everything will be fixed on day one patch.
MS and Sony looked at their own system preorders for the game...
Give the free pass to CDPR.

I only saw the YoungYea review and he did mentioned that he was not allowed to show its own footage as he wanted to show some of the bugs, but he was allowed to talk about them and he did. The reviwers that hid those details are as much to blame as CDPR but most of the reviwers was not even aware that the console version was completely broken as they only saw the game running on PCs.

Let us know how the refund request goes. How many hours have you put into it?

I played above 2 hours on the Xbox one and they refunded me instantly with no questions asked

Thinks buying more servers can fix a bad patch
Its most likely they didn't give the console review codes because they were still optimizing the console versions up till launch date. They just pushed out whatever they have for the console platforms at that point
The latest delay back then was due to the consoles needing more time, they already finished the PC version. Should have release the PC version first, then continue on the console version and release it next year or something

This game is way too big and ambitious to even have considered base PS4 and xb1. To get something to run on any respectable shape it would be a totally different experience. They shouldn’t have released this game period in the state it’s in. Seems high end pc’s chug too. Embarrassing.

I'm going to wait it out. However, maybe Sony and Microsoft should adopt Nintendo's old, stringent quality assurance policy from the NES era.
I played the PS4 version on my PS5 for about an hour today and it crashed twice.

I watched a handful of youtube video reviews and each of them stated they can only show PC footage of the game and footage was provided to them by CDPR.
I was like 'Ok, console footage must then be coming soon' and proceeded to get swept up in the hype of the PC footage and pre-ordered the game at the end of that day on my PS4 Pro.
I assumed console footage was good and maybe the developers just wasn't ready to show it off and have PC footage gets sole attention or exposure because of ray tracing, DLSS etc.
I didn't get a refund but that's ok. I've learned my lesson with these game pre-orders now. Funny thing is I have pre-ordered in the past and none of the games I pre-ordered had issues anywhere near as severe or widespread as this Cyberpunk game. Will definitely be more cautious with next game purchases as I only buy digital.
Well you're lucky you got your money back. Happy to hear Xbox has refunded you like that without issue.

This game seemed to be on sale in preorder multiple times over the last 2 years. And they were substantial discounts too. I thought that was unusual for such a big title.
I wonder if that was a little desperation on their part to suck in more money before launch because they knew they were certain to release a broken game.

Unfortunate the PS5 can’t handle this game, runs flawlessly on XSX

That is actually a pretty huge thing to note. The base Xbox One, has higher graphical settings then the base ps4. both in resolution, assets, & details.
That simply shouldn't be.
If they want this game to run better on the base consoles, then need to tone down the fog and other visual effects, lower the draw distance, or drop the resolution more.

This is the first time I've heard Sony refunding a digital game purchase. Sony is so stubborned about refunding anything digital, so Sony must believe that CD Projekt Red really done F$%K IT UP this time with Cyberpunk 2077 console versions.

I haven't had a crash on Xbox S/X. Only saw a few minor glitches since the 104 patch.

This reminds me of the Skyrim debacle on PS3, and to a lesser extent the No Man's Sky launch on PS4.(a ton of people were asking for digital refunds on that game due to it sucking at launch and game crashes).

Runs like garbage on both. You played yourself.

TBH Both Sony's and Microsoft's fault for forcing the game to run on 2013 hardware, it could be released only for Xbox One X and PlayStation 4 Pro and it would be fine.

I hope this kicks CDPR into gear in terms of making the game into something these people getting refunds want to buy when it's better. I mean... besides the base console versions... honestly I don't want their precious time spent trying to fix that, those consoles need to die and those gamers need to move on.

Wow, that's so...seemingly inconsiderate and elitist...but actually true.

I don't think Sony or MS could force them to make it for any console. They are releasing it on the one s and ps4 because of the 100 million users that have one.

They can't release a game only on PS4 Pro or Xbox One X, it has to be running on the base models too. While Nintendo allows "new 3DS exclusives", that don't work on regular 3DS consoles.

If that is the case then the developer should have noted this when taking 7 years to develop it.

Which late gen game was unplayable on PS360 like Cyberpunk is on PS4/XB1?

Ultimately, assuming cd Projekt do a quality next gen update, Cyberpunk will probably run better on next gen consoles than 60% of pc gamers

The problem is these companies promising things will be fixed by the time the day one patch rolls round.
It should ge illegal for them to print disks with their games in the state that they are when they go "gold" but it happens all the time with the larger publishers. It's rotten.

This is why i don't play on consoles. Games always run like shit. ( / joke )
The thing is, if you do this u need to do it for everything 2 hours is bullshit anyway. they need to drastically change this so if u buy a game with 200 hours of content where u just barely start it at 2 hours in, u can refund it also way later in.

Sad to hear about One X also not being good. I always assumed base consoles would have a problem with this game, though certainly not as bad as it is. But I assumed One X and Pro would at least be decent. I was originally going to pick up the One X version before getting a PS5 for the big screen experience after a PC playthrough.
My gf who dosen't care about FPS and whatnot only has the old betamax looking xbox. She got it for that and yeah it looks awful.
I like CDPR and I won't say things like scam. But I will say I think this reflects poorly on them as very community friendly developers. To release a game in such a poor state really hurts that. But I also hope it dosen't hurt the game in the long run. It's general perspective on this game should not be one of it being broken trash.

I'm really enjoying the game so far, but man. CDPR have utterly destroyed their reputation. The delays, the crunch controversy, and now this. It really wasn't long ago at all that CDPR was so widely beloved and trusted. I've never seen a developer gain such fame and lose it so quickly.
That said, depending on how much they work on improving the game, the whole situation can be turned around. I think by this time next year we'll know if CP77 will shape up to be a great game. They got their work cut out for them with ironing out bugs, improving the AI, and adding quality of life features, before the DLC even comes down the line. But I really hope they figure it out. I know some people are mad and want to lash out, and I know some others just love to revel in the misery and controversy. But I really do hope the game is vastly improved upon in the next couple years.
There is a brilliant and great game underneath the mess.
