After a very rocky launch, a big milestone has been reached for CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077,ย which has now become rated ‘very positive’ย on Steam.
It’s hard to believe, butย Cyberpunk 2077 has already been out for over two years. The first expectation from Cyberpunk 2077 was its incredible debut and millions of happy player reviews. Still, the technical problems kept everyone away from enjoying it. Even though the PC version was less troubling, the game had overwhelmingly negativeย reviews on Steam. The developersย fixed the game’s biggest problems in the first few months, and the ratings became better over time. There are actually several reasons behind that; let’s light them up.
Cyberpunk 2077 Reviews Are ‘Very Positive’ on Steam For The First Time
The game didn’t always stay in the overwhelmingly negative ranking on reviews. With time, it started earning higher ratings, like mixed or positive. After the bugs cleared, the game had a mixed and positive ranking on Steam. Today, it hits a very positive rank for the first time, and the biggest reason is the studio’s recoveredย reputation. CD Projekt was already known as a studio achieving incredible things, and that’s why people did believeย Cyberpunk 2077 would be a good game. There’s no need to mention how its reputation was lost after the anticipated sci-fi adventure was released.
The first sign CD Projekt gave of their commitment to improving the game was the free update for next-generation consoles. That was offered for both The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunkย 2077ย owners. With the upgraded version, the players saw that aย stable andย improvedย Cyberpunk was possible. The continued fan communication, special events, and the Netflix series were the next steps of Cyberpunk 2077‘s reputation rebuild.ย
The reviews could have reached CD Projekt’s desired level, but it still has to learn the lesson. Cyberpunk 2077โs launch was a big disappointment; that was when we had the biggest hype about it. The best thing we can wish for is the goodness of the next titles the studio will launch.
