CDPR address the problems with the game by doubling down and lying more about everything. Most blatantly that they didn't know about the issues on old consoles and pretending that the PC version was fit for release. They've released a roadmap (pic related) for 2021 and as you can see it's vague as shit and has no real promises, just patches, "free DLC" (cut content lol) and next gen versions for the consoles barely anybody owns. Polish developers LMAO.

>Q: Why is there such a gap between PC versions of Cyberpunk 2077 and old-gen consoles?
<A: Cyberpunk 2077 is huge in scope, it features a multitude of custom objects, interacting systems and mechanics. In the game, everything is not stretched out over flat terrain where we can make things less taxing hardware-wise, but condensed in one big city and in a relatively loading-free environment. We made it even more difficult for ourselves by first wanting to make the game look epic on PCs and then adjusting it to consoles — especially old-gens. That was our core assumption. And things did not look super difficult at first, while we knew the hardware gap, ultimately, time has proven that we’ve underestimated the task.
>Q: What was the main issue that made development for consoles that difficult?
<A: The main culprit was having to constantly improve our in-game streaming system for old-gen consoles. Streaming is responsible for “feeding” the engine with what you see on screen, as well as the game mechanics. Since the city is so packed and the disk bandwidth of old-gen consoles is what it is, this is something that constantly challenged us.
>Q: Didn’t you test old-gen consoles to keep tabs on the experience?
<A: We did. As it turned out, our testing did not show many of the issues you experienced while playing the game. As we got closer to launch, we saw significant improvements each and every day, and we really believed we’d deliver in the final day zero update.
>Q: Why was there a gap between PC and console reviews?
<A: We started sending out PC review keys to start the review process in the first week of December. Come December 10th, launch day, we had a really good start with PC reviews, and while it’s not perfect, this is a version of the game we were, and still are, very proud of. When it comes to the review process for consoles, at the same time PC codes were sent out we were still working hard to improve the quality of the game on old-gen consoles. Every extra day that we worked on the day zero update brought visible improvement — that’s why we started sending console codes for reviews on the 8th December, which was later than we had planned.
