On WednesdayCD Projektwarnedplayers who receive copies ofCyberpunk 2077early that it will seek to remove any footage of the game published before an embargo lifts on December 9 in a bid to avoid spoiling it for other players.
During an earnings call last week, CD Projekt presidentAdam Kicińskiaddressed recently leaked gameplayshowing the unpatched physical version of the game running on PS4, which one consumer posted online after obtaining an early copy.
“Regarding the leak, fortunately, there were not too many spoilers because this is the ugliest thing installing the game before it is released. So, it was not harmful,” he said.
Shortly after the leak, CD Projekt released the first official gameplay ofCyberpunk 2077 running on PS4 Pro and PS5via backwards compatibility. The video highlighted some of the exact same areas as the leaked footage and included a number offixes coming in a day one patchon December 10.
One of the Reddit users who obtained their Collector’s Edition early initially claimed thePS4version came with a 56GB day one patch, although they later said they were unsure if it was in fact the launch day patch or a separate content download.
