Cyberpunk 2077 is possibly one of the biggest releases of the last couple of decades and has many expectations set on it.

Releasing a massive and ambitious game as Cyberpunk 2077 can be a monumental task, and CD Projekt Red has had a tough time with the game's development.

After spending years in development, the game was finally set for a Summer release date in 2020, which was delayed multiple times and was finally released on December 10th.

The game has had decently favorable reviews from major publications across the board, with many praising its ambitious gameplay and inventive storytelling.

However, many players have taken to social media to point out the various performance issues that are apparent on now last-gen consoles, the PS4 and Xbox One.

Several players have taken to social media to express concerns over less than optimal performance on their consoles. Seeing as the majority of the console gaming audience are likely playing on a PS4 or Xbox One, Cyberpunk 2077's performance issues are a major concern.

Reports of low-res textures, pop-ins, and glitches are rampant across the internet, and the base PS4, in particular, has been suffering through a lot of these issues. Amid graphics and performance issues, Cyberpunk 2077 also seems to be crashing quite often, which is a major cause for concern.

Seeing as CDPR released an absolutely massive 43GB Day-1 patch, most assumed that the issues had been put to rest ahead of launch. However, it seems like a lot of issues have persisted despite the patch.

It seems like the base PS4 has taken the biggest hit in terms of performance issues with Cyberpunk 2077. Fans can only hope for CDPR to take note of these issues and hopefully deliver a fix sometime soon.
