We’re still thinking, “when was this game named game of the year?” saying. But it looks like we won’t be able to find this date. This is a very bold title, especially compared to Cyberpunk 2077, which is considered a disaster as soon as it comes out and is said to be only playable even though it has made a significant improvement over the years.
Of course, we now know that certain concepts don’t make as much sense as they used to. While financial concerns make the companies’ view of games grayer than before (with certain exceptions, of course), it seems that now the focus is on what makes money.
Things have reached this point for the phrase GOTY (Game of the Year).
A GOTY (Game of the Year) version of Cyberpunk 2077 will appear in 2023. Adam Kicinski, CEO of CD Projekt Red, confirms this. It is expected that the version in question will come after the expansion pack called Phantom Liberty and will include it when it arrives.
Kicinski said The Witcher 3 also came out with a GOTY version at some point, and it has stayed up-to-date ever since. Of course, we should not miss the fact that this game was indeed chosen as the game of the year. This was not the case for Cyberpunk 2077. Still, the CEO stated that this is the natural flow.
Cyberpunk 2077 has changed a lot over time and most of the bugs have been fixed.
In this way, although the game became more playable, it did not give the expected completely. Players, so to speak, were impressed by the fixes made after seeing the bad game in the first place, or the game itself became beautiful before their eyes.
Cyberpunk 2077 has only been shown as the game of the year in one place. It is the list of the best games of 2021 prepared by IGN.
Finally, it should be noted that the GOTY version will also be released at full price. With Edgerunners, Orion game and The Witcher 3’s next-gen update and GOTY version, Cyberpunk 2077 seems to determine how CD Projekt Red will spend the next year.
