Polish gaming giant CD Projekt has revealed that Cyberpunk 2077 will finally become available once again for purchase digitally on the PlayStation Store starting June 21st.
The company confirmed in a regulatory statement that PlayStation has decided to “reinstate the availability of the digital edition of Cyberpunk 2077 on PlayStation Store, effective on 21 June 2021.”
On December 17th, PlayStation made the landmark decision to remove the open-world RPG from its digital storefront while beginning to offer refunds. The titlelaunched one week prior in an infamously buggy state, with the game being borderline unplayable in many cases on the PlayStation 4. Multiple patches have been rolled out since to address hundreds of technical issues.
Last month, CD Projekt provided an update on the status of the relisting, noting that there are confidential metrics that it would have to reach for PlayStation to allow the game to return to the PS Store. Given that statement, it would seem as though PlayStation is finally satisfied with the state of the game, just over six months after it originally released.
Going forward, developer CD Projekt Red will continue to support the game with updates and free pieces of downloadable content. The company is also planning paid expansions to the game at some point in the future, as well as proper PS5 and Xbox Series X/S upgrades next year.
At one point, the studio was also working on a multiplayer Cyberpunk experience, although it’s unclear whether that will still release.
“Previously we hinted that our next AAA would be a multiplayer Cyberpunk game, but we have decided to reconsider this plan given our new more systemic and agile approach instead of primarily focusing on one big online experience or game we are focusing on bringing online into all of our franchises one day,” said CD Projekt president Adam Kiciński in March.
In the meantime, though, CD Projekt is preparing a July 9th Witcher-themed event with Netflix to celebrate both its Witcher game series and the streamer’s live-action TV show.
