Sony drops 'Cyberpunk 2077' from PlayStation, developer apologizes for glitches
Cyberpunk 2077 is getting a lot of hatred online due to its bugs. The game, which captivated the global community of gamers and non-gamers with its pitch-perfect graphics, cinematic and most importantly, Johnny Silverhand, who literally resembles actor Keanu Reeves, has fallen from its stardom. Sony has now decided to remove the game from its PlayStation store for digital purchase "until further notice."
'Full refund for who've purchased Cyberpunk 2077 via PlayStation Store'
Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE), in a statement, elaborated about the issue to fans miffed with the game's several obvious and irritating glitches when played on PlayStation. "SIE strives to ensure a high level of customer satisfaction, therefore we will begin to offer a full refund for all gamers who have purchased Cyberpunk 2077 via PlayStation Store," the statement posted on its support system read.
CDPR apologizes, promises bug fixes, updates, patches to gamers

CDPR has also extended support to dissatisfied gamers who wouldn't want to wait for patches, and asked them to "use the refund system of PSN or Xbox respectively." "For boxed versions, please first try to get a refund at the store where you bought the game. Should this not be possible, please contact us at helpmerefund@cdprojektred.com," it added. December 21 is the last day.

Meanwhile, different media outlets across the internet have shared their experiences of the bugs, some of which are weird, disappointing while others are ROFL funny. IGN's screenshots from the game show guns and even people floating.
