Experiencing game-breaking bugs in Cyberpunk 2077, even years after its release, is incredibly frustrating. Players are reporting issues that halt main story progression and even basic functions like fast travel and time skipping become disabled after sleeping in-game. This is especially disheartening for returning players who hoped that revisiting Night City after updates and DLC releases, like Phantom Liberty, would provide a smoother experience. Instead, they are finding themselves unable to progress, facing the same kind of fundamental problems that plagued the game at launch.
The frustration is compounded by the feeling of slow developer response. Players who have opened support tickets report receiving acknowledgements of the issues, but with little indication of when a fix will be implemented. For those who invested in the game and its expansions, encountering these problems now feels like a betrayal of trust. It prompts some to abandon the game altogether, seeking more reliable entertainment elsewhere, feeling that core gameplay mechanics, especially those heavily integrated into the game like phone calls and text messages, should function flawlessly. The current state leaves players wondering when, or if, these fundamental issues will truly be resolved, allowing them to fully enjoy the Cyberpunk 2077 experience they were promised.
