The developer firm was heavily criticized upon the launch ofCyberpunk 2077as players were frustrated with innumerable bugs and glitches which led to a massive amount of refunds, ultimately the game wasdelisted from the PlayStation Store. Hence, it’s prudent on the developer’s part to delay the release to ensure that a seamless version is launched this time to avoid any major backlash.
