Amidst all the raging talk, Cyberpunk 2077 has received the rather unwanted label of an "underdeveloped" game. This explains why the developers took so much time to release it in the first place.
Several players even got to play the unpatched version of Cyberpunk 2077 before it's release. Surprisingly, this version was infested with bugs that popped out of nowhere while players roamed the streets of Night City. But they didn't seem to receive any fixed before launch.
Cyberpunk 2077 reasonably removed from the PlayStation store because of extensive glitches

Several clips on YouTube and Twitter went viral, showing all the unnecessary glitches in-game. The bug-laden title has inspired people to make interactive memes.
One of the most popular ones includes a woman's head replacing the pillow at V's apartment. Another glitch shows that players can destroy vehicles just by throwing another person/NPC at them.

The developer needs to issue a fix for all bugs and glitches, as the backlash from players is unanimous across platforms. PC players have reported that the game crashes quite often and has several optimization issues.
CDPR's official response mentioned that players can still purchase or book Cyberpunk 2077 online. However, esports experts are not sold with this statement, as they want a game without bugs and glitches.
A significant section of the PlayStation community has registered for refunds on Cyberpunk 2077 purchased from the PlayStation Store. Several others might follow this on PCs and Xbox's.
Despite all the criticism, Cyberpunk 2077 is an incredibly immersive game and deserves to be at the top. CDPR has assured fans it will do its best to earn that respectful position in the gaming community.
