Let's be honest - Cyberpunk 2077's launch has been extremely messy, more so than anyone could have predicted. Since its launch, reports have escalated to how the console editions just aren't quite up to scratch, mainly the Xbox One iterations.
Yet, it's worth mentioning that many people are enjoying their time with Cyberpunk 2077, despite the plethora of issues. It's even been noted that the Xbox Series X is the best place to play the console version right now. CD Projekt Red has vowed to make things right and offered refunds for those who aren't willing to be patient with them, considering they've openly admitted on being "too focused" on getting the game out the door.
OpenCritic has also published a disclaimer on its site, alerting potential buyers that the Xbox One version of the game is not a representation of the majority of reviews. But at the end of the day, everyone's opinion is different and what may seem poor to one person may not bother the other. We think there's potential to the game, but it's ultimately bogged down by a series of technical issues.
With all that said, how are you finding Cyberpunk 2077? Are you playing it on the Xbox One or Xbox Series X|S? And are you finding the game to be a collection of 2077 Cyberbugs instead?
Let us know what you think of the game and post-release reception below.

A few hiccups here and there. I haven't actually noticed any performance problems on Xbox One X.
Really digging the world building and story-telling.
Also, Dolby Atmos for the win!
I started on One X and the opening played fine and looked nice, as soon as I got outside the performance was a bit rough but not unplayable, I've certainly played many worse performing games.
Since switching to Series S its been a rock solid 30fps, out in the city it looked more alive than on One X and it looks good, also I've not seen any bugs so far
Fine on the series x... No crashes which I'm suprised at seen as so many games seem to crash onit lol
playing on the series s and enjoying it quite a bit actually. performance is fine with the game running at a smooth 30fps with very few dips. only issue i've encountered thus far is a sidequest that won't complete and a strange visual bug with delamain during phone calls. but other than that? it's all good!
Playing on one s. And ps4 with a buddy. Only one glitch for me at the beginning where an npcs thighs were gone but still had the lower legs. Thought it was some weird cyber tech but nope just a glitch. Almost done with the game and other than the visuals looking a bit off I experienced zero crashes or game resetting bugs. Guess I got lucky but I experienced more problems with Red Dead Redemption 2 when I played that.
As I stated in other posts, CP2077 easily wins Game of the Year for me: Have to force myself to go to bed every night- LOVE this game!!!
Playing on the Xbox One X and only had 3 issues prior to the hotfix.....0% since
@Bloodborne75 same here. Game of the year in my book too. I understand others having issues but things tend to snowball online quickly. If I haven’t seen all the complaints online I wouldn’t have been looking for bugs or performance issues at all. It has performed well on my last gen hardware and I can’t wait to see it on next gen when I can acquire a console
Haven't played it yet, Looking forward to it though despite all the negativity
Any and all interest I had in this game has dissipated completely over the past few days, and I wasn't itching to get my hands on it in the first place. It's one of those games I planned to play (reviews pending) at some point yet for some reason - and certainly not consciously - managed to see or read practically nothing about prior to release.
If the Series X version turns out alright, I'll be more inclined to play it, but as it stands I'm really glad it wasn't something I was consciously looking forward to. It always sucks when you wait years for a game/film/show/comic/whatever you're really pumped about and it doesn't turn out well
@Bmartin001 I had preordered and received my copy on release days, read some reddit reviews/ complaints, put the unopened game on my display shelf, and waited two days until I could wait no longer. I CANNOT recommend this game enough!! Become a Cyberpunk, my friend, and NEVER look back!!!
@Thwomp_Stomper Aye. If it is this amazing on the One X, I cannot wait to see it on the Series X!!
Sadly, my 4K went out before I even got my Gears One X, so only been playing in 1080p, but that's never a bad thing Game on!!
I'm struggling with it, honestly. From a technical point of view, it's mostly playable on the Series X, albeit with plenty of minor bugs and glitches.
I just can't connect with the story and its characters, though. The map is utterly atrocious, and I feel like I'm being constantly bombarded with new jobs, phone calls and messages. It's kind of relentless.
I actually went back to Skyrim today, and the quiet tranquility was a genuine relief by comparison. Never thought I'd say that...
Eh it's kinda buggy that's for sure but it was to be expected, the typical early Bethesda RPG experience really, but it isn't Bethesda who made this, although it totally feels like a game they could have made. It looks good on my One X and I have already put over 12 hours into the game and just got past the title introduction lol.
Thing is I am really taking my time with this game, I actually created a couple characters just to check out the different openings and I plan to go back to one of them and play through a lot more of the early side quests before you get to the title scene, but at this point I am happy just playing a few other games while I wait for it to get patched up some more. What I have seen though is one of the most interesting open world RPG's I have played and it's definitely a beautifully made and presented game. There is just so much depth to it that you can pour hours and hours just taking it slow and soaking up all it has to offer, and the world isn't just some lazy copy and paste job. With the skill tree you can really tailor your character to your play style and there's lots of different ways to approach any situation, and the acting has been superb. When they release some more patches for this game it's sure to be an incredible experience through and through, it's definitely the type of game where the more you take your time and don't try to rush through it the more you will probably enjoy it.
I'm glad most here are enjoying it, though it looks like most are playing on next-gen consoles.
On XB1 X, the game crashed on me shortly after I entered Night City as a Nomad. I read that it crashes on Series X too, because it's the same XB1 version. The game looked alright, but not like a polished new game.
I considered waiting for a Series X to play it right. But CDPR kept lying. They claimed they somehow overlooked how bad the game is on base XB1 and PS4. But how could managers not have either seen those versions themselves or heard warnings from their team leaders and developers? Of course they knew or CDPR wouldn't have held back console review copies.
I'm sure the game will be great when it's done and polished. For now, it sounds fun (when it works) but doesn't even have the AI working as CDPR intended.
I am playing on the series x and have 30 hours in. I have noticed a few bugs here and there once I had to totally exit restart the game because my inventory was being janky but other than that no problems.
I would make it my game of the year it is a lot of fun the story is good and I like the freedom of the missions on the map. I finally figured out how to make fast cash (not using any exploits) so I am getting some cooler equipment like a really nice cyberdeck.
I need to level as I am at the cap in a lot of my skills.
I'm on a One X with an SSD. A couple crashes, a few moments of freezing, other bugs here and there but still plenty playable and awesome.
Tomorrow! I’m so late to the party, but I got cheap. Preordered it Black Friday from Amazon and… well … All this #cyberbug talk gets me interested in installing it on both my X1 and XSX, to see what the fuss is all about. Bugs are fun (when they’re not of your own doing), remember Goat Simulator! When it all comes around… it’s just a game. And CDPR track record tells of a bright (neon) future. There are plenty of game breaking bugs in other popular titles. It’s not like you need to start from the beginning every now and then, right?
PC Gamer's article about police AI made me wonder. I was surprised from my gameplay that non-story NPCs are so limited. This Reddit thread about AI in Cyberpunk makes it seem awful. If much of this is accurate, games had better AI a decade ago.

Like with Doom Eternal, I’m waiting for the Series X version of the game before playing Cyberpunk. I’ve got plenty of other games to play in the meantime.
Game is fantastic if you look past the bugs and play it on hardware that can actually run it without major issues. I've played it since launch and yesterday, since I don't know how long, I lost track of time while playing. Went to sleep so late I can barely open my eyes. That's how good the game is
JUST got to the title screen. I was doing a lot of perps and crime scenes, question/exclamation marks. Decided to progress the story. BOOM Johnny FCUKIN Silverhand😎
Anyone playing on Xbox One? My boss was watching me play on break at work (not on Xbox) and looked interested in the game. He has Xbox One though and I told him it probably won't play as good as what he was seeing me play.
Dolby Atmos gives great performance on my XSX. My issue is that sometimes the character speaking to you can be a little too low to hear properly. Yet street noise is coming through quite nicely via the surrounds.
Graphical performance I have no issues. It's a good looking game and I await the Series XS patch in the future, which I knew I'd be waiting for.
My 'OK' is the game itself. I find I actually fall nearly asleep at times. NPCs seem to like to talk... a lot. I am positive it will pick up the deeper I get, but so far the story (for me) has been just Eh, OK.
I played 25 hours and then decided to abandon, way way too many bugs. I finished up speaking to a floating npc this morning that looked like he was dead. I’ll wait for a proper next gen upgrade if it will ever arrive, hopefully with decent enemy AI, driving and all pop-up / collision / texture issues resolved - including all the other numerous bugs that I can’t be bothered to mention.
@A01 Totally agree on all your points.
@hallower1980 AI is absolutely terrible in Cyberpunk. Subpar in every aspect.
