“Not even comparable to The Witcher 3”: Players criticized the base PS4 and Xbox One versions of Cyberpunk 2077
After years of waiting, the players finally got their hands on Cyberpunk 2077, but at the start, the technical state of the ambitious role-playing action movie is far from ideal. This is especially true for the basic models of consoles of the past generation.
Users of social networks and forums like Reddit complain that the game is extremely poorly optimized on the standard PS4 and Xbox One, which creates a feeling that the product is not ready for release.
The owners of the aforementioned consoles faced constant frame rate drops, regular freezes, periodic crashes, slow loading of textures, and other troubles.
Polygon journalists note that many videos demonstrating the problems of Cyberpunk 2077 on PS4 and Xbox One were recorded on the version without the first-day patch installed, but technical troubles are present even in the current assembly.
Terrible optimization (playing on PS4), textures start loading in 2-3 seconds. You see a large box, and a few moments later there is a car in front of you. Too upset to move on. Do not compare even with The Witcher 3 “ – complains cellymdewitt with Reddit.
Recall that the PS4 version of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt at one time also received a considerable number of unflattering reviews for its technical performance, but, apparently, the scale of the problems in this and the previous case is completely different.
Cyberpunk 2077 was released today, December 10, on PC (Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store), PS4, Xbox One, as well as GeForce Now and Google Stadia. A few hours after the release, the game had over 1 million Steam users.
