Cyberpunk 2077 Team Aims to Rebuild Trust After Rocky Launch by Avoiding Crunch and Testing More

Cyberpunk 2077's release in 2020 failed to meet expectations, hurting team morale.

Engineering director Colin Walder said they are now testing console builds earlier in development.

Walder admitted morale took a "significant hit" after launch but said acknowledging issues was crucial.

The team aims to rebuild trust by avoiding crunch and adjusting schedules when needed.

Despite a rocky launch, Cyberpunk has rebounded with 25M copies sold and a well-received expansion.
