For some odd reason, Best Buy, allowed me to pick up my pre-order for Cyberpunk 2077 video game for the PC. The game is not officially out until December 10, 2020, on a variety of platforms: Windows, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and even on Google’s Stadia. The best part is that if you have an Xbox Series S/X or PS5, Cyberpunk 2077 will run on the new console.
To understand why this game is one of the most overhyped game since their announcement in May 2012, you have to understand that it is mostly based on the game developer, CD Projekt Red. They made the Witcher game series, and, by far, their finest hour with Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Even though I personally own Witcher 3 on the PC, I have gone back and re-purchased them on the PS4 or Xbox, simply because I love the game and wanted to help support the developer.
When the hit Netflix show, based on the books (and video game) of The Witcher came out in December 2019, it introduced a whole new generation of fresh gamers to CD Projekt (they boast that Witcher 3 had a 554% sale increase that month!) It is that new fanbase, combined with the old school fanbase that drove the massive interest in CD Projekt’s next game, Cyberpunk 2077.
Based on hearing that they’ve hired Keanu Reeves to play Johnny Silverhand, and seeing early game footage using REDengine last year, Cyberpunk 2077 became one of the highest anticipated games of all time.
Unfortunately, Cyberpunk missed a few release dates. Originally set for April 2020, it was delayed to September. Naturally, everyone understood because of the COVID-19 situation. However, when September rolled around, CD Projekt delayed the game to November (just in time for the PS5 and Xbox Series consoles launch). Of course, they missed the November launch, and ultimately, they locked in December 10, 2020.
That’s where we come in… I picked up the game a few days early, and already downloading the massive game as I write this. I’m very excited to finally play this game… however, I already know that there are a ton of bugs, according to various game reviewers with early access to the game. I’m sure with ongoing patches, the game will be nothing less than amazing, but at launch, there’s bound to be some game-breaking bugs. Still, I don’t care. This is CD Projekt’s new game, after Witcher 3, and I am just very excited to try out something new from this game developer.
