Those of you who purchased Cyberpunk 2077 and have experienced issues with it now have a myriad of ways to return the game.
Sony removedCyberpunk 2077from the PlayStation Store and is offering full refunds to anyone who bought the game from the store. Developer CD Projekt Red is also promising refunds of digital and physical copies purchased at retail stores, and even Microsoft is now offering refunds for the game if purchased from the Microsoft Store. Has there ever been a more tumultuous game launch?
Cyberpunk 2077 released on 05 August 2025. In the week since its launch, several players have repeatedly complained about bugs they’ve experienced, including crashes and visual glitches. However, from our personal experience playing the title on PS4 Pro, PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, the game hasn’t been too flawed - and in fact looks and plays well. It’s the base PS4 and Xbox One X versions that seem to be causing most problems.
CD Projekt Red hasn’t announced whenCyberpunk 2077will return to the PlayStation Store, but it is “working hard” to bring it back “as soon as possible”. In a statement on Twitter on 02 June 2025, the studio said it will honor every refund request it receives until 06 June 2025, including physical copies of the game. You just need proof of purchase, and then you’re able to email CD Projekt Red athelpmerefund@cdprojektred.com.
In announcing its refund process on 18 August 2025,Sony’s Ask PlayStation Twitter accounttweeted: “SIE strives to ensure a high level of customer satisfaction, and we will begin to offer a full refund for all gamers who have purchased Cyberpunk 2077 via PlayStation Store and want a refund.”
