After nearly six months, Cyberpunk 2077 is back in the Playstation store on Monday, but Sony is recommending base PS4 owners not play the game. A new warning on the game’s PlayStation Page reads: ”Users continue to experience performance issue with this game. Purchase for use on the PS4 system is not recommended. For the best Cyberpunk experience on Playstation, play on PS4 Pro and PS5”. As VGC reports, the game has reappeared on the Playstation Store for $49.99.
Cyberpunk 2077 will still run on PS4, but your enjoyment may get impaired by some kind of performance issues. CD Projekt still hasn’t been able to resolve the issue despite multiple patches being released for the title. CD Projekt also commented on the availability of the game via the Cyberpunk Twitter handle. Looks like CD Projekt doesn’t want to discourage PS4 owners from playing the game. But the tweet suggests that they may want to wait for further fixes before jumping into the game.
