Launching a major title across multiple platforms (and now multiple generations of consoles thanks to backwards compatibility) has resulted in a mixed reception for the highly anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 when it comes to performance. On the high-end, as per our review in progress, seeing Night City in motion powered by an RTX 30 series GPU is nothing short of stunning. The flip-side to this though, the baseline PS4 and Xbox One consoles are struggling to keep up.

As per this video from Digital Foundry comparing the launch version of the game on the PS4 and PS4 Pro, it's definitely a cause for concern. Especially when put up against this next-gen Xbox Series X and S and PS5 breakdown which shows that the game runs a lot better on next-gen hardware even without specific patches.

Regardless of platform though, the massive open-world adventure has its share of bugs, which developer CD Projekt Red is looking to address. As per the Hotfix 1.04 Patch Notes it looks like Cyberpunk 2077 will be getting a string of updates focusing on bugs, glitches, and improving performance. And on that note this first Hotfix is actually pretty extensive.
