Cyberpunk 2077 “Just Brilliant” in Some Ways Says Gabe Newell, Many PC Players “Very Happy”

CD Projekt Red have taken their share of lumps following the messy launch of Cyberpunk 2077, just Valve caput honcho Gabe Newell isn't joining the chorus of detractors. Of course, the PC version of Cyberpunk 2077 arrived in meliorate shape than the panel ports, and co-ordinate to an interview from ane News from New Zealand, Newell'southward generally seeing "very happy users" on Steam.

I have a lot of sympathy with a situation that every game developer finds themselves in. All I know is that there are a lot of very happy gamers in the PC infinite, which are the ones that are most visible to us.

Overall, it sounds similar Newell quite liked the game, and has conviction CD Projekt Carmine volition bring Cyberpunk 2077 upward to snuff with updates…

At that place are aspects of the game that are just brilliant, and it shows a tremendous amount of work — it's unfair to throw stones at any other developer, because just getting something as complex and ambitious equally that out the door is pretty amazing.

When people have [negative] reactions, my get-go thought is that this is an opportunity for us, and I assume that the Cyberpunk 2077 developers are similarly just using information technology to crank through and make improvements that are going to be benign to their customers. They have a long history of doing a corking chore, of continuing to invest in their products over time and I suspect that they're going to be very good at making their customers happy over fourth dimension.

Of course, a large portion of the PC copies of Cyberpunk 2077 were bought on Steam, and then information technology wouldn't make sense for Gabe to trash the game or CD Projekt Cherry. That said, he went a little further with his praise than he had to. Information technology does seem like he genuinely sympathizes with CDPR.

Cyberpunk 2077 is available now on PC, Xbox One, and PS4 (although new digital sales take been suspended), and tin be played via backward compatibility on Xbox Series X/Southward and PS5.
