Cyberpunk 2077<\/em> has won its first post-launch award more than two years after the game was originally released in December 2020. To close this past year, CD Projekt Red claimed the “Labor of Love” award from the Steam Awards for 2022<\/a> for its continued service and support of Cyberpunk 2077<\/em>.<\/p>
When Cyberpunk 2077<\/em> was originally launched at the end of 2020, the release was marred by a wave of technical issues and game-breaking bugs, and the game ran even worse on consoles. Players were granted refunds<\/a>, the game was removed from the Sony online store for a period of six months<\/a>, and CDPR’s release of the title prior to it being ready led to a serious drop in company stock value and even a lawsuit<\/a>. <\/p>
While fixes and improvements began in 2021, the game’s resurgence really took off in 2022. This was due to quick and responsive updates that fixed serious and minor issues, consistent updates that added new content, and renewed interest in the game and its world generated by the critically acclaimed Netflix animated series<\/a>, Edgerunners<\/em>.<\/p>
CDPR is currently working on<\/a> both the Phantom Liberty<\/em> expansion and an eventual sequel to Cyberpunk 2077<\/em> tentatively titled Project Orion. But that is currently a long way away.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
