CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077 has had its fair share of publicity since it launched in 2020. Most of the conversations around the game may have initially been fairly negative. However, in recent months, the team behind the epic sci-fi action RPG has managed to turn the tide and garner some more positive attention thanks to the work it's put into bringing the game up to a level that fans are happy with.
