What does the redemption of Cyberpunk 2077 actually look like? In this documentary, GameSpot follows developer CD PROJEKT RED as they launch Cyberpunk’s latest expansion, Phantom Liberty.
We interview roughly a dozen developers on the difficult launch of Cyberpunk 2077, the changes the studio underwent afterward, and how all that has led to Phantom Liberty. We were embedded in the studio during launch so we were able to capture the raw emotions of what it’s like to launch a AAA video game. As fans of CD PROJEKT RED and their work, we wanted to get an inside perspective on one of the biggest studios, and one of the most controversial releases of all time.

Cyberpunk was for me at launch an awesome game. Bugs aside. i really enjoyed it. Thank you CDPR!
It's amazing to see them smile at the time of phantom liberty release. I really always loved cyberpunk 2077. I could see what the passionate people wanted us to see underneath it all. I'm glad it's now possible for everyone if they choose to see how beautiful cyberpunk is! The team at cdpr for cyberpunk is incredible and they deserve this win.
Definitely one of the goat
I would say they redeemed themselves easily. It’s truly a triumph and I’ve only played one of the endings. Can’t wait to replay it
I’m really happy they fixed the game. I loveeee it sm now. I was hyped about it since 2013. I’m glad I waited out the original release and came back in 2.0 (with a totally new pc too) 😊
I am not happy with the main storyline ending of V, I am a fan of cyberpunk but we need to speak the truth, the main ending is not what I have spend my money.
Thank you chooms at CDPR! I had a blast since day 1! A lot of bugs but a lot of fun too. Amazing characters, amazing story, amazing weapons and Night City is my favorite open world city ever.
Can I work for you for free, please?
2:22 Not just "many"!!! All of them people instead!!!
I would personally love to handshake every single individual who worked on this beautiful game, even hug if they’re ok with it lol. I’m 300 hours into this game from when I first started after 2.0, this game is just absolutely amazing in every aspect.
ANYONE WHO WAS BASHING THEM FOR THE "SO CALLED MISTAKE" THEY MADE IS REALLY WAS NOT A FAN OF CD PROJEKT RED OR CYBERPUNK IN THE FIRST PLACE!!! THEY ARE EVEN APPOLOGISE (MAY I SAY WAS NOT NECCESSEARLY!) FOR IT AND PROMISED THEY WILL FIX IT AND THEY DID!!! I WAS LOVED THE GAME FROM THE START AND EVEN LOVING MORE NOW!!! MY BROTHERS KEEP THEIR WORDS AND RESSURECTED LIKE A PHOENIX AND STRONGER THEN EVER!!!
Thank you everyone at CDPR for the hard work 🖤
Such a truly incredible game, they truly pulled this game out from the gutter and made it amazing, such an immersive story and world
thnx for the nova work, chooms, see ya in Orion
I put in 70hours on a base PS4 because even with the bugs, I knew there was a good game there. I am playing on PS5 on December 1st. I genuinely can't wait to experience the game the way they intended.
10/10 points to the editors and directors of this video.
The edit and music and shots cinematography is phenomenal.
With all due respect, what is the point of these videos if game devs themselves make dev diaries nowadays?
I feel like that’s why series like audio logs holds less value compared to like 5 years ago because game studios now put those out on their own channels with their own video teams.
Also, what is a production coordinator? Apologies for my ignorance, that’s the first time I’ve noticed that role.
I'm sure their REDengine source code an whatever else getting stolen and auctioned off helped a lot with those changes.. Cyberpunk is a fantastic game.
Not much of a redemption when it cost $30
To fail is to learn
Thank you to everyone at cd projekt red for the amazing work they have put in, I can't wait for what is to come!
I love this game! 500 hrs in
Cyberpunk 2077 is up there with my favourite games of all time. Can’t wait for Orion!
Filming dogs takes priority…just sayin lol
I honestly feel a lot for the dev team.
games are not easy and this game was honestly a huge undertaking.
Appreciate all the hard work after launch to try and make the best of a bad situation.
Went ahead an got a second copy so my wife could play on her PC and to try and reward the hard work they kept up.
Game was good at first on PC & is wonderful now. ♥
Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the best games of all time
I dont gave a sh* about the non gamebreaking bugs at day1-3. What they still not delivered was the promised game with Cyberpunk story and mechanics. It is now a good RPG with a really good look. Hope you do right the next time.
Great documentary! I would love to see more content like this.
I love this kind of content, thank you!
Preem insight choom
I played this for the first time following the show Edgerunners, with several cool mods, like flying cars and cyberpsychosis. I didnt find a lot of bugs and I really had a blast playing.
Kudos to CDPR for sticking with it and making cyberpunk which was a good game from day 1, and turning it into an exceptionally amazing game
Hope CD Projekt Red has now realized that it’s time to surpass their limits and make the Witcher game that comes after The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
This is the time. It’s time to push everything into this one project. I trust in this team! You can make it 🙏🏻
Mid game really. I only played for 350 hours
………my favourite gaming production company ❤❤❤❤❤❤💋😘
Heartwarming to see, keep up the good work! ❤
Male V is canon to CDPR, confirmed.
760 hours played (still finishing this last play), so many moments that will stay with me forever. I will be waiting for the next game from CDPR. They have my top 2 in The Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk 2077.
Great Doc
A beautiful human story of overcoming defeat. Thank you CDPR for pushing through and creating my favorite game and DLC of all time. Your redemption arc is well-deserved. And thank you GameSpot for this showcase of talent and passion.
Still it has long way to go. No multiple choice, no consequences. Still dumb AI, nothing more to do outside Main Story. Empty World!
Red PED Redemption
Cyberpunk is the greatest game of all time in my opinion. Can't wait for the future of this franchise!
Fully redeemed in my book. It's a god damn masterpiece. It's almost unbelievable that a game like Cyberpunk 2077 exists.
Cyberpunk 2077 made me love CDPR way more than The Witcher 3, that game is great but for me personally Cyberpunk 2077 is far above because of its atmosphere and tone, it's truly a next generation game.
Your take on Cyberpunk is amazing, this is exactly how I imagined it, I didn't want it to be some Blade Runner rip off.
YES! CDPR did Phantom Liberty so well, they more than redeemed Cyberpunk, they made it art!
That was awesome.
