The abundance of issues and glitches in the game only plagued the already stuttering release of Cyberpunk 2077. CD Projekt RED pushed the boundaries of the open-world genre with the insanely detailed action-adventure title, which was one of the most awaited games of the year. However, the studio failed to deliver a satisfactory title.

Players have seen numerous glitches and issues in the game ever since its release. Players could ignore some, but others affected vital aspects of the game, even making the game unplayable in some cases.
