Now, among the buzz ofThe Witcher 4, this open-world title still holds a special place among the millions of fans. However, the journey ofCyberpunkwasn’t that smooth initially.
The game stumbled right after its launch in December 2020. After its release, the title was infected with bugs and glitches, making all the efforts in the long eight years go in vain. That’s when thePhantom LibertyDLC comes in, which revivedCyberpunk‘s fortunes in September 2023. Now, it seems the end of the era of this popular open-world title.
