Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel: From Catastrophic Launch to Therapeutic Development

Cyberpunk 2077's lead director Pawel Sasko described the development of the Phantom Liberty expansion and the game's 2.0 update as a form of "group therapy" for the team after the game's troubled launch in 2020. The team faced significant challenges and emotional lows but found renewed motivation and success with subsequent updates, particularly following the Edgerunners 1.6 update and the release of the Netflix anime series. The game's recent updates have led to a positive reception, culminating in an 'Overwhelmingly Positive' rating on Steam.
