Wow! Trully an unprecedented development. I do not remember anything similar for another big release.

Wow, I was just gonna ask how PS5's users felt about it. I've gotten it to run and look pretty good on my PC but reading all the stuff from the console side... what a mess.
Well you can still get PS4 disk version. And the price will plummet so if people really want to play a turd they will be able to do so for cheap.
Odd definition of running great. Consistent crashes is far from great.
They brought all this on themselves and it is hilarious. And thank God I can get my £50 back for that trainwreck. Good riddance to bad rubbish.
FYI - Loads of Ubisoft games just dropped in price (physical) eg Fenyx Rising. That's £33 PS4/PS5. And if runs beautifully.

Just waking up to this and in complete shock. Had to check PSN make sure its really gone, holy shit!
This is a massive L for CDPR and such a shame and fall from grace for them (amidst all the other crap).
Wonder when the game gets put back up on the store lol

Wonder if this will push them to release the next gen version for PS5 in the meantime while they try and sort out the PS4 version? They said on that call that they essentially had the next gen versions ready didn't they?
PS4 version runs decent on my PS5, if they can sort out the hard crashes I would be pretty happy with it.

Don't own it, based on feedback I heard here.
But, good on Sony delisting it. Release shit get treated like shit. Dunno if others are following suit, but if the videos and other examples are true.... They should ASAP. The issues going into this was a whol bag of shit, and now they are also showing incompetence... Weird that.

What a crazy scenario. It's a bit of a weird one - the game is buggy but if you're on PS5 / SX the game runs pretty well and in most cases is much less egregious than some games we've had that Sony have been fine selling to customers. But on the flipside the PS4 / XB1 base versions are wholly unacceptable and should absolutely be removed from sale.
Can't help but feel this is a little bit fueled by the whole refund debacle. Shockwaves!! Can only be an overall positive thing in the long run.

PS5 player here and haven't ran into a lot of bugs and glitches. Had a total of 6 or so crashes over a gametime of 30 hours. the game is kinda a hit or a miss. It's by no means a perfect game but honestly I was expecting much more issues on the PS5 and so far I'm really enjoying it.
Anyway, really nice move from Sony regardless of whether or not it's due to their refund policy. CDPR should be punished by both Sony and MS for the last gen version.
User Warned: Inflammatory commentary, blaming devs for mismanagement.
Why feeling bad for someone who is not able to do his own job and is not willing to admit it?
Devs do games, if the games don't work then there's a problem. Change the game or change the devs.
This game has not exactly been rushed...it's been in development for YEARS.
Odd definition of consistent crashes because I'm 30 hours in and haven't had one crash. I have a feeling there is a lot of exaggeration going on about this game.
According to some rumors, it had only been in development for 1.5 years. They just messed around in preproduction for ages.
Thanks for the input :)
It seems to vary from user to user. I am glad you are enjoying even with those issues.
I hope Sony and MS punish them for this. CDPR needs to learn it the hard way. Especially after holding back the last gen versions.
Good grief.
Do you think it makes more sense for CDPR to abandon their patch fix timeline to quickly optimize it for PS5 in hopes of salvaging the experience they promised console folks (and at least get it back in one marketplace) -- or do you think this move by Sony forces CDPR to prioritize patching the PS4 version to meet re-certification?

The fact that your time with the game on PS5 was fine isn't important. There are many documented instances of the game having many issues on PS5 despite clearly being better than PS4. Consistent bugs, constant crashes.
Saying it "runs great on current gen consoles" is factually incorrect if it crashes for many users regularly.
The idea that the game is amazing on its own is quite arguable as laid out well in the recent Easy Allies review. But even forgetting that, your opinion is one that ignores the issues with the game from how terribly it runs to the transphobic and sexist nonsense.
There were many bug-ridden games i played on Playstation for years but this is the first game in my lifetime that had more than 30 crashes. At least 2 side missions not popping up. I've never even seen the title screen. Game shouldn't come out in this state. Period.
All my PS4 years i had maybe 10 crashes at best. I think Sony saw the crash reports and refund requests and said this is it.
Hope this major moment in history will lead better QA, certification, refund process.

There's also no PS5 version so Sony probably can't just list it for the PS5 alone.
CDPR needs to take their game back and spend another year or so on it.
They've also said on an October call that there was nothing wrong with the PS4/Xbox One versions.
This certainly is a shocker. I actually heard about this first on my local radio station's news (something that never happens), which tells you how big it is.
I can't recall anything like this happening before on PlayStation at least, a few delays at the last second perhaps (and then there's technically PT of course) but nothing like this.
I feel for the people who have been duped out of their money on this (and can hopefully now get full refunds) and had such an anticipated game fall so flat. But I also feel for the devs, who would've known about all of this and more but corporate went ahead anyways - Effectively destroying many years of good will and built up reputation in an instant.
What a disaster.

Because this is a failure of those people who are overseeing the development, not the individual devs who very likely worked their asses off to get this game out in a playable form.
it should had been next gen only game unless they can get it up and running better, Xbox should do the same
We might have listened to the same station if the segment ended on "a Christmas present to avoid".
They didn't "remove it from both systems": there is no PS5 version. It's the PS4 version running in BC mode. There is no way for Sony to discern whether you're buying the game to play it on a PS4, a Pro or a PS5. It's the same version for all systems, and it's by no means magically fixed if you're playing it on PS5.
Bethesda did that with Skyrim. Some reviewers had specifically asked for PS3 version, but got the 360 one instead.
Most of the time it looked like GTAV. Then several crashes a day. And when it crashes, your settings will be reverted back to default.
Then some bugs here and there.
They'll still be supporting it with patches for those who choose to keep the game
Sony should have started this off 2 gens ago with Skyrim but good to see this happen with Cyberpunk
Yeah same I was driving and it was on BBC Radio 1 this morning and then saw it on the news too before I started checking in on the gaming communities to see the reaction.
"next gen" versions run it pretty good really.
Its the last gen consoles that struggle really. Mostly the base ones.
I believe it's covered in the OP. You can still buy physical copies and it's still going to be supported with patches. (So they say)
What's happening is Sony doesn't want to be responsible for future refunds. You can return if already purchased and you can no longer buy it from their market place. If you buy a physical copy, that's between you and Best Buy, GameStop etc
I don't think the question is whether CDPR will still support the games sold on the platform but rather how fast will Sony bother to push patches through cert for a game they're no longer selling. If nothing else, it's certainly dropped in priority.
It runs pretty good on Series X though. And since this is a BC game delisting it will punish those that bought the new hardware.
Also curious about it. I decided to put this game on hold and see if at least the crashes would be gone in the upcoming patch. If that patch never comes I just might refund it now.
Microsoft should follow, but I don't know if they will since they have a marketing deal. Make CD Projekt get this in a playable state on base consoles first.
Everyone loves a good comeback story. Cyber Punk 2077 Definitive Edition, coming holiday 2021. We definitely know how this plays out in a year or two.
