Fans took to Twitter to express their dissatisfaction with Cyberpunk 2077
CDPR showcased amazing gameplay features on their YouTube channel, that promised outstanding performance across all platforms, including PS4 and Xbox One. This promise failed miserably for the owners of the consoles, as they took to Twitter to express their disappointment with the game.
Cyberpunk vice city is being put forward as a classic meme in many tweets by people who are clearly dissatisfied with the lack of optimization. Their frustration is understandable.

The curse of 2020 continues to haunt us all and fans cannot comprehend it. The foreshadowing of what this year will be was told in the beginning.
Yep. 3 blue screens at the start of the game when Jackie is outside the front of V’s place eating Chinese food. I can’t get passed it 🤷🏻♂️ Ah, well, 2020 in a nutshell.

Final thoughts
The game is not working at the best as it was originally displayed, glitches and lag along with irregular crashes are spoiling players’ experience with the game. This has been a consistent problem for fans that own one of those previous-gen consoles. It is safe to assume that CDPR has already heard the community’s cry, and they must be already working on a hot fix for all the performances related issues.
