CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 delivers a compelling vision of a futuristic open world… but it’s one that is currently saddled with loads of bugs. It’s most problematic on the original Xbox One console and slightly better on Xbox One X and the new Xbox Series X/S, but there’s a long line of fixes promised in the coming months.

The only good side of the rough launch is that you can now pick it up for a mere $35 at Amazon or Best Buy just a few weeks after release, although you’re taking a gamble on future upgrades making a big enough difference in performance quality. Note also that a larger Xbox One X/S upgrade will be released for free later this year.

The downside, however, is that it’s listed to ship in 1-2 months. We suspect that the wait won’t be quite that long, but you may need some patience to take advantage of these savings.
