The Polish game studio CD Projekt Red wanted to successfully release the new game Cyberpoint 2077. In the game, the player must perform all kinds of criminal assignments as a mercenary.
Eight years were spent on the game and the cost was about two hundred million euros. The public was excited with beautiful screenshots of the game. It was important that the game would be ready for Christmas and at the same time as the PlayStation 5, employees worked very hard on this. The goal was to sell 30 million copies in one year.
Eight million copies were sold in the first week. One week after the launch, Sony already removed the game from the PlayStation store. The game appeared to be unfinished: there were all kinds of errors in it. On the PlayStation 4 the game was already very slow, but on the Playstation 5 there were also many errors in the game. Because of this failure, game studio lost half of its stock market value.
The PlayStation game Cyberpunk 2077 was going to be a mega popular game. Eight years were spent working on it and investing heavily in it. The goal was to launch the game before Christmas 2020 at the same time as the PlayStation 5. There was a lot of pressure on this and even though the game was not quite ready, it was launched. As a result, there were a lot of errors in the game and the game could no longer be sold.
