Most interesting thing to me wasn’t the roadmap, which obviously is just as vague as the last one. It’s this slide from the financials.
Note the massive increase in “Service costs – released products” to. This is explained in the full financial statement:
That’s $8.2m of maintenance costs in a single quarter almost entirely for an offline game, on top of a slightly smaller amount the previous quarter (which presumably only covers the period from 10 December to 31 December, at least as regards Cyberpunk).

Maybe they could have worked on finishing the game before release. That would have saved in patching costs.
That is an amazing roadmap.

I can’t wait for the memes.
Small additional content , that will clip into the map and not be able to picked up ? :P
I assume somebody made a Trello board when they published the last one.

Maybe they should release horse armor.
Such a tease. Will they or won’t they release hotfix 1.23 or skip to 1.3…
What’s the H2 referred to here? When the version number gets to 2? When they give up on their engine and go to Halflife 2?
It kind of feels like the suits realize its bad money chasing good at this point. Spending a lot of money to service already purchased consumers isn’t profitable. What they want to do is sell DLC, but they can’t seem to figure out a way to square this circle and move beyond the remediation phase.
Second half of the (financial) year. Which in this case aligns with the calendar year.

Investing in improving the game will bring new customers and will help sell future DLC.
Would have been so epic if they’d gotten Kelsey Grammer to do the voiceover (or a better sound-alike).
The words to the song are also those to the closing song “Tossed salads and Scrambled Eggs.” And they did a great job reproducing Martin’s chair (RIP John Mahoney, originally from Manchester-- assuming that Daphne’s canonical home town was an homage to that).
Finally picked up the new xbox and this game. So far the bugs I’ve encountered are all audio. Background sounds 100% volume important dialog 5%
Have no idea what I’m doing or what I should be upgrading, but I do like just walking around in the world.
$20 at Gamestop. XBONE or PS4
Great deal if you have an XSX or PS5. I don’t think it’ll ever play well on last gen hardware.
I do have one of those, but will I ever have the time to play it is the question. It is tempting though. But I’m sure there will be a similar sale this November/December. There always is.
$20 is tough to beat for a recent game. It’s only that cheap because xbone and PS4 can’t actually play it.

It’s worth $20 for a good 100 hours of linear gameplay in an interesting setting but it does nothing revolutionary or has any depth with many of its systems (looting, skills) still broken or incomplete.
Welcome back you big lug.
“SIE can confirm that Cyberpunk 2077 will be re-listed on PlayStation Store starting June 21, 2021,” a Sony spokesperson said in an email. “Users will continue to experience performance issues with the PS4 edition while CD Projekt Red continues to improve stability across all platforms. SIE recommends playing the title on PS4 Pro or PS5 for the best experience.”
I think I can still manage to hold out for the expected PS5 version of the game rather than play this one on the PS5. It’ll give them a chance to iron out even more of the glitches.
