Spot On: Cyberpunk 2077 Proves Bad Launches Don’t Always Spell Doom for Games

At Summer Game Fest, Tam and Lucy had the opportunity to personally experience Phantom Liberty, the upcoming expansion of Cyberpunk 2077. However, what they discovered during their session was that CD Projekt Red has made significant adjustments and enhancements to almost every major gameplay system in this open-world RPG. Despite its rocky launch, Cyberpunk 2077 has received updates and patches over time to improve performance, along with free DLC that ties in with Netflix’s Edgerunners show, reigniting interest in the game. Now, with a substantial overhaul of its systems, Cyberpunk 2077 is on track to fully redeem itself, generating renewed excitement among players who are eager to return to Night City.

In this episode of Spot On, Tam and Lucy delve into the topic of giving games with turbulent launches a second chance. They explore redemption arcs witnessed in games like No Man’s Sky, Final Fantasy XIV, and GTA Online, discussing when it’s appropriate for a company to persistently work on a title and when it’s better to cut their losses and move on.
