Cyberpunk 2077 is just five days away from launching worldwide and while there has been quite a lot of promotion and fan hype surrounding it, there hasn’t been much by way of reviews for the game. Considering that Cyberpunk 2077 is a large, extensive experience, it will take some time for reviewers to play enough of the game in order to give a comprehensive review. However, it seems that most reviewers don’t have access to the game yet.
Game publishers issue review embargos that forbid gaming media outlets from posting game reviews until a certain date. This is likely true of Cyberpunk 2077 as well, with CD Projekt Red also asking streamers that get it early not to stream the game until launch.
Now members of various gaming news outlets, such as Ryan Brown, have noticed that multiple members of the press have yet to receive review copies of Cyberpunk 2077. For some fans, this might come off as concerning, especially considering that a developer of Cyberpunk 2077 sank 175 hours into the game and still isn’t finished with the game.
Greg Miller of Kinda Funny Games also commented saying that many people have accused the media outlet for “hiding Cyberpunk,” but he also insinuates that he and his colleagues just don’t have access to the game. Many members of the gaming community have compared the size of Cyberpunk 2077’s map against some of the biggest maps in gaming and is quite formidable in terms of reviewing in that regard.
All of this to say, this could have some rather concerning ramifications in the coming days. It seems likely that at least some members of the press possess review copies of the game, but it seems hard to believe that those who haven’t received review copies yet will be able to post accurate and informative reviews by Cyberpunk 2077’s launch day.
There has to be at least some members of the press who have access to the game, in which case there will hopefully be some reviews available at or even before launch. Fans will find out once Cyberpunk 2077 finally launches next week.
Cyberpunk 2077 is set to launch on December 10th, 2020 on PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One, with PS5 and Xbox Series X/S adaptations currently in development.
