100 Days Of Cyberpunk Missing From PS Store

100 Days Of Cyberpunk Missing From PS Store

Cyberpunk 2077 patch 1.2

Today marks the 100 days since Cyberpunk 2077 was removed from the PlayStation Store after its ignominious launch – and the plans for relisting the game for sale on PS4 and PS5 remain as hazy as they did when the announcement was first made, with both Sony and CD Projekt Red notably silent on the issue.

As a quick refresher, Cyberpunk 2077 launched with huge performance issues, particularly on last-gen consoles, and Sony subsequently announced the decision to remove Cyberpunk 2077 from sale on PlayStation consoles late on December 17, 2020.

What Has Happened With Cyberpunk 2077?

In an initial statement, Sony offered refunds for the game and added, “[Sony Interactive Entertainment] will also be removing Cyberpunk 2077 from PlayStation Store until further notice.” That implied that the decision was Sony’s, but a later statement from CD Projekt Red said that the decision had come out of a “discussion” with Sony about refunds.

We’ve never heard definitively whose decision it was to remove the game from sale.The speculation about this at all is fairly astonishing. That CD Projekt Red would remain silent about when players can buy its marquee game again on the world’s biggest gaming platform, and that Sony wouldn’t want to tell customers when a game that, despite huge controversy, already sold more than 13 million copies would be back on its storefront seems, frankly, odd.

Cyberpunk’s development and release has, of course, been an unpredictable journey already, but the lack of details in this chapter of that story is unusual, even among the rest.

Whether it speaks to corporate cageyness, disputes between the two sides, or other issues that haven’t been made public is impossible to guess. That silence makes it hard to predict where we go from here – we could see the game return to sale tomorrow, or we could see it take another 100 days.

There has, quite simply, never been a case quite like this in gaming before – here’s hoping it’s been enough of a lesson to stop it happening again.
