The game, which appeared on December 10, has been widely criticized for being released too early, with many game bugs. Despite the messy experience, the reviewers praised the title for its complicated views and well-told story. But players playing on older devices, especially the 2013 Xbox One and PlayStation 4, said the title it is uncomfortably slow.
CD Projekt Red, based in Poland, apologized to customers and acknowledged that its marketing and advertising did not adequately convey how the game was played on older devices. “We should have paid more attention to make it play better on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One,” the company said on its website and on Twitter.

In the last year, CD Projekt Red has indicated that it is facing some problems with the game. The game was originally released in April; then it was postponed until September 17; then November 19; then on December 10th. When announcing the latest game delay, CD Projekt Red said it was primarily to make the game work better on older game consoles.
Now that the game is there and in such a buggy state, the developer said he is working on a series of “big patches” to fix the problems. The patches will be delivered free of charge on the internet to the owners of the game.
The first solution is launched in January, and the second is scheduled for February. In both cases, the company says it is focusing on fixing bugs, rather than adding new features or stories.
