Cyberpunk 2077 is finally out after an 8-year-long wait. It has quite possibly been one of if not the most anticipated game in the past few years, mostly due to CD Projekt Red’s known caliber of quality thanks to the success of The Witcher 3. So with the game finally released, we wanted to know how are you finding Cyberpunk 2077 so far?
With the launch of Cyberpunk 2077 this week we wanted to explore this big hype release with lots of Up For Debates so we can explore a bit of our gamer psychology and to see if it holds up to our expectations. You can find a list of the other Cyberpunk -related Up For Debates at the bottom under the "Cyberpunk 2077 launch" group tag.
Whether Cyberpunk 2077 lives up to your expectations, exceeds them, or falls flat on its face; whether you think it's good, bad, or somewhere in between; we want to hear from you exactly how you’re feeling now after a few days of playing.
Are you enjoying the story? How do you feel about the game’s graphics? Is there something that you really love about it already? Or is there something you can’t stop thinking about because it bugs you?
And just for a little fun, let’s hear what lifepath you chose! Did you choose Nomad, Streetkid, or Corpo? We asked you a while back when lifepaths were officially revealed in a Night City Wire with some equal split results, but now that the game’s out let’s see if everyone stuck to their original plans…
Obviously let’s keep this spoiler-free for all the folks who are still slowly making their way through the game. We just want to hear your first impressions and feelings.
So what do you think? How are you finding Cyberpunk 2077 so far? Are you enjoying it? Does it meet your expectations? What lifepath did you choose and how far into the game are you? Let’s debate!

Buggy mess doesn't even begin to describe it, but there have been 3 or 4 times already where i've completely lost track of time and just played for like 8 hours straight which is nice. Been a while since i've been able to get so immersed into a videogame. The story just felt a little short though, but again i lost track of time a lot so maybe it wasn't as short as I thought.
PC Specs
My only other complaint(game-breaking bugs and insanely demanding reqs aside) is that the stupid "chip malfunction" thing happens too often and often in critical moments when I really wish it didn't. Like i get it's part of the lore or worldbuilding and to give you a reason to progress the main story, but,
After beating the campaign I can't even just run around the world without it happening.
PC Specs
I'm loving it and i'm playing on ps4 pro. lol
FPS RPG?! I love those!
I'm actually thinkin' on building a new rig to play this in 4k and 60fps.
PC Specs
I'm giving it a wide berth for at least a few months, probably til I upgrade, then I guess I'll sail the high seas
PC Specs
If you have a powerful PC, the game is totally worth it. Graphics are mind-blowing and gameplay is very enjoyable. Had only few minor bugs so far. Recommended!!
PC Specs
Finished the game.Took about 15 hours on Street Kid.Aside from 3-4 bugs,the game was fantastic for me.Hats down CDPR for a game well made.
PC Specs
15 hours

I'm following all the news and try to avoid spoilers. I had the game in pre buy. But have not finished upgrading my rig yet.
I don't want to ruin my first run on bad graphics.
This news about all the bugs and the experiences people are having is bad.
Maybe I wait a bit longer till everything is patched and bug free.
PC Specs
I'm waiting for patches, so I get decent first run experience, haven't installed the game yet, but looking forward to :)
PC Specs
It is a good game behind all those bugs and glitchs, has not crashed on me once, im enjoying the game so far it is really detailed and story kinda engaging
PC Specs
Well at least game is not as buggy as Fallout 76.
And they left the funny bugs like when calling car it comes flying through walls and crashing on its own (laughed crying) and if only car would have said "beep beep mf" KEKW
PC Specs
lol true
PC Specs
Freakin Loving it!

30 hrs with no crash , just 1 game breaking bugs with viktor but solved with reloading save
PC Specs
How am I finding it? Honestly it's kinda hard for me to figure out where exactly did they spend all those 9 years of development. I believe most of us expected it to be revolutionary but it really falls short in so many aspects. Is it a decent game? Yeah it's pretty cool. Optimization? Not cool at all. The world feels kind of lackluster and barren, spotted with your occasional thug or ncpd here and there. Then a few of your average game breaking and visual bugs. Just my feels from the get go.
PC Specs
Honestly at first i was ADAMANT on not using almost ANY low settings, and my framerate suffered for it. Then i randomly decided to do some benchmarking and found that the Low Preset actually still looks rather good, aside from some of the shadows. So now im usually riding around a smooth 50FPS experience with my customized settings, and so i've been enjoying the game alot more since the frame times also improved alot which let me aim and shoot better.
PC Specs
The framerate matters a lot when it's a shooter game. Glad you managed to sort it out!
PC Specs
Haven't played it. I usually wait 6-12 months till any major releases get patched up and let other people beta test games because that's the state they've been released in recent years.
PC Specs
I'm just waiting a couple of weeks to see if they patch out some of the major bugs :D
Until then - I've not bought it yet.
PC Specs
I love the game so far, though I didn't get too much time into it, like 8h or something like that. As for expectations, since I didn't really go with whole hype and didn't have much in terms of expectations, I could say game met them just fine, minus few bugs I encountered. As for path, it is corpo for me. As for settings, medium gets me to around 50FPS and I am fine with that,...
PC Specs
... yes, it is not 60FPS I would ideally want, but low isn't worth it. Plus I just pulled out some of that though skin we used to have in old days, you know, when it was all about cranking quality up and 27FPS was fine. I would do ultra if it wasn't having too many dips. Kind of shame, but medium runs well, it is smooth enough and will do till craziness with new cards settles down.
PC Specs
tbh, i cant imerse myself in this game. the performance its just atrocious i just cant deal with the frame drops. also, doesnt look that great as i was expectin
PC Specs
Damn, that's a disappointing read from someone with an RTX 3080. Especially at 1080p I would have thought your rig would be smashing it?
PC Specs
Dissapointed. I feel absolutely no immersion in this game. I hate the main character - all the dialogue options are so annoying that I usually find myself not wanting to choose any.
PC Specs
I'm completely addicted. 20 + hours in hasn't crashed once and runs great. Defaulted to Ultra but knocked it down to high to get a few extra frames and to make my rig work less hard. Getting about 40-60 frames which is fine for me. I forgot how well CD Projekt Red does immersion and story. Haven't played a game this good since....er...Oh yeah, Witcher 3.
PC Specs
Well, I'm doing what i did with Witcher 3. I'm 10 hours in and haven't even met with Dexter yet. Just exploring the city, making some cash in side quests and getting a feel for it all. Game is looking great as well as playable between 40-60 fps on my 1080, so I'm ok for now, but it sure has got me looking at gpu prices again. This feels like a slow-burner, so I think I'll just take my time and enjoy it that way. Also, zero crashes for me so far, just a few small bugs. One annoying one is whenever i look in a mirror, my hair, hat, and any face coverings are absent. Makes me look weird.
PC Specs
the scripted missions are fine, but the open world... the AI...
I can't even beign to imagine what state the game had to have been in april if the current one is release ready...
