Polish Government is now monitoring CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 progress

After the disastrous launch of Cyberpunk 2077 over a month ago, CD Projekt Red has continuously come under fire from not only fans but also investors. But now, after working their way through multiple lawsuits and patches for the game, the company has come under the ire of the Polish Governemnt.  

CD Projekt Red is in hot waters again after the Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) formerly announced their plans to monitor CDPR’s progress on patches for the game, and if they fail to deliver, the company could be fined for up to 10% of their income from 2020.

UOKiK answers directly to the Prime Minister of Poland and is authorized to monitor, hold investigations, give fines, and even withdraw products from the market if they find them unfit for the market. The main goal of UOKiK is to protect the interests of the consumer and safeguard investors. 

Speaking to the press, Malgorzata Cieloch, UOKiK’s spokesperson, stated:

“We ask the entrepreneur to explain the problems with the game and the actions taken by him. We will check how the manufacturer is working on introducing corrections or solving difficulties that prevent the game from being played on different consoles, but also how it intends to act in relation to people who have complained and are dissatisfied with the purchase due to the inability to play the game on their equipment despite the manufacturer’s previous assurances.”

After a month worth of patches, the game is finally in a playable state on Stadia, PC, and latest-gen consoles, although it is still riddled with bugs. However, the game still remains unplayable on older-gen consoles, and as such the game is still suspended for sale on Xbox and PlayStation store.

“The 1 million sales figure is bigger than the combined sales of Sony’s PlayStation 4 and Microsoft’s Xbox One over the same period”, said Niko Partners analyst Daniel Ahmad. According to analysts, even with factoring in the game sales, the sale of 1 million console units alone is worth more than 2 billion yuan (US$300 Million) and shows how popular Switch is when compared to PS4 launched in 2015 and Xbox One launched in 2014.

Even with a limited number of Nintendo original games available at launch Switch still managed to find its place among the Chinese fans. Tencent and Nintendo have since only managed to get one game approved for release, New Super Mario Bros Deluxe. Even after the Super Mario Bros Deluxe’s launch, there are only 13 games available for Switch owners in China, the majority of which comes from Chinese developers.

However, itis believed that the sales of the console were largely boosted due to the Chinese release of the popular home exercise game, Ring Fit Adventure back in August 2020.
