Cyberpunk 2077 5th Anniversary Poll

Today marks the fifth anniversary of Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt Red's dark future, open world RPG that's based on the longstanding tabletop franchise.

The game has come a long way since its original PS4 launch — and that's putting it extremely lightly. It arrived on Sony's last-gen machine as both a technical and mechanical mess. It was so bad that the platform holder actually started dishing out refunds before the title was pulled from the PS Store entirely.

Years and years of hype had led to bitter disappointment. Indeed, we dubbed the game "the single biggest disappointment of the PS4 generation" in our Cyberpunk 2077 PS4 review — and to be frank, we never imagined that CDPR would spend the next half a decade trying to repair the damage.

Here we are five years later, and we're of the belief that Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most memorable experiences you can have on PS5. It took a fresh launch on current-gen hardware, several significant updates, and the incredible Phantom Liberty expansion, but we got there in the end.

We re-reviewed the RPG back in 2022, when the aforementioned PS5 version had finally dropped. We awarded it a much improved score of 8/10 in our Cyberpunk 2077 PS5 review, and then we gave its DLC a 9/10 in our 2023 Phantom Liberty PS5 review.

That really is some turnaround. 2077 will undoubtedly go down as one of the greatest reversals of fortune in gaming history — and now we just have to hope that lessons have well and truly been learned ahead of The Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk 2.
