Refund - Preliminary information
The main reasons why you may want to refund Cyberpunk 2077 are:
- The game doesn't start at all, there are serious graphic artifacts on the screen or the game regularly crashes, making it impossible to play comfortably.
- The game works poorly even in low graphics settings.
- The number of serious bugs and glitches prevents you from enjoying the game.
- The quality of graphics is very unsatisfactory - this problem concerns mainly versions for PS4 and Xbox One consoles, which look much worse than those shown on the promo materials.
- You don't want to wait for patches that will fix the most important bugs and optimize the game for better performance.
The refunding process depends on the hardware platform/store and whether you have a digital or box version.
