From the initial reviews, it looks like CDPR has delivered a mixed bag. Many players faced a lot of issues with bugs on consoles as well as PCs. One can attribute a few of these to missing the pre-launch update. However, even after this, there were some who still faced some issues.

Largely, however, the reviews have been positive both from creators as well as casual players. The game received such positive reviews on Twitch that it broke the record for the most concurrent viewers for any single player game ever!

Fans with consoles and low end PCs struggle with Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 is a heavy game indeed, with the PC version being 59 GB. The console version crosses the 100 GB mark as well, making it heavier than most games. Apart from these, it also demands a lot of performance from the builds, using a significant part of the GPU, RAM, and disc.
Urgh @CyberpunkGame just crashed after 20 minutes of play, quite a few bugs but this crashing is now occurring regularly on the ps5#Cyberpunk2077 #CDPR

If you're having issues, you're not the only one. If you're on PC, you just need a powerful enough rig. #Cyberpunk2077https://t.co/c2maaPzcXa

It’s really just not. I logged 6 hours last night. The only gamebreaking glitch I had was a graphical error that was my fault for not updating my drivers… it’s not big-free, but it sure isn’t broken.

People complaining about ps4, Xbox graphics needa realize that this game is catered towards next gen. It is a really ambitious and beautiful game that takes full use of next gen power. Of course it’s not gonna run good on your dated ps4, Xbox.
