The launch of Cyberpunk 2077 back in December 2020 will go down as the one of the most critically panned launches in gaming history.  Even with many calling it a good game on its own, it still ruined CD Projekt Red's reputation as they pulled the wool over the eyes of console customers and even Sony itself - forcing them to delist the game from the Playstation Store for a period of time.

Fast forward almost 2 years later and the game has seen many patches - including a next-gen patch to bring it up to snuff with how it should be played and just recently an Edgerunners patch that coincided with the release of the Cyberpunk Edgerunners anime on Netflix.  There is a new expansion next year coming out called Phantom Liberty.  All of this has caused a resurgence of interest in the world that is Cyberpunk where Steam sales and concurrent players have ballooned.

Is this yet another comeback story amidst other games that saw a disastrous launch only to see these companies build themselves back up to saving grace with their fanbases?  Possibly, but maybe not quite yet.  Let's discuss!
