The PS5 version of Cyberpunk 2077 didn’t just fix the RPG, it rescued the IP from the depths and effectively rebooted sales.

It was definitely broken at launch – and it should never be forgotten – but the Polish team has worked tirelessly to update the game and get it where it needs to be. The developer deserves credit for that, and the PS5 version of Cyberpunk 2077 represents a more compelling experience than it is now playable.
