Cyberpunk 2077 launched in a dire state, but its redemption is comparable only to that of No Man’s Sky’s. It now has ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ recent reviews on Steam.
Paweł Sasko, associate game director on the next Cyberpunk game shared the news on Twitter, writing: “Never dreamt it will be possible. Over four years after the release Cyberpunk 2077 hit Overwhelmingly Positive on Steam. So thankful for your passion, memes, videos, reviews, articles, fan art, cosplay and mods. Much love my chooms!”
When Cyberpunk 2077 first launched, I’d just started my career in video game journalism. People were furious. Quests were broken, there were glitches galore, and it was certainly not the masterpiece that CD Projekt Red had promised, nor the one The Witcher 3 fans had expected.
But the developers have been hard at work for over four years fixing bugs, adding DLC, and even overhauling the entire combat and perk system for the 2.0 update. The last-gen versions were abandoned, but the current-gen versions of the game are great.
“Cyberpunk was a labor of love, and that love was cut short,” writes Philipp Weber, formerly a quest designer on Cyberpunk 2077 and now the narrative director for The Witcher 4. “After all this time, I’m so happy we got the chance to fulfill our vision in the end, and I’m so thankful for the team who supports it to this day, as well as the fans who never gave up on it. Takemura would be proud!”

Cyberpunk was delayed before launch a few times, and it seems Weber is saying it was pushed out the door in a state a lot of the developers weren’t happy with. Fortunately, they got time to work on it post launch, and now their effort has been recognized.
I beat the game before the 2.0 launch, but I’ve since gone back and started some new playthroughs. It really is shocking how much better the game is now than it was a few years ago. Like V and Johnny with the Relic, Cyberpunk itself has been given a second chance.

After a tumultuous launch in December 2020, Cyberpunk 2077 has finally reached a milestone that seemed impossible to some – achieving an ‘Overwhelmingly Positive’ rating on Steam. The open-world RPG, developed by CD Projekt Red, has come a long way since its initial release, with numerous updates and patches improving the overall gameplay experience.
For many players and fans of the game, this achievement is a testament to the dedication and hard work put in by the developers to address the issues and criticisms that plagued Cyberpunk 2077 at launch. The game now boasts a ‘Very Positive’ rating on Steam, with over 200,000 reviews contributing to its current score.
In a statement released by CD Projekt Red, the team expressed their gratitude to the players who have supported the game throughout its journey. “We never dreamt it would be possible to reach such a positive reception after the rocky start we had,” said Marcin Iwiński, co-founder of CD Projekt Red. “But we are grateful for the patience and understanding shown by our community, and we are committed to continuing to improve and expand upon Cyberpunk 2077 in the future.”
With the game now enjoying a much more positive reception from players, it’s clear that Cyberpunk 2077 has come a long way since its troubled launch. As CD Projekt Red continues to work on new updates and content for the game, it seems that the future is looking bright for Night City and its inhabitants.
