It looks like CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077 might be headed back to the PlayStation Store soon following its removal last year due to its buggy nature.

According to IGN, you can find Cyberpunk 2077 on the PlayStation 5 store right now simply by searching for its name. It will then appear as a game that was "just announced," according to IGN.

GameSpot has contacted CD Projekt Red in an attempt to get more details about this situation. Keep checking back for the latest.

In May, CD Projekt's Adam Kicinski said the Polish studio remained in communication with Sony, but the decision about restoring the game would ultimately come down to Sony. CD Projekt Red's business boss, Michał Nowakowski, said he believes Sony is getting closer to making a decision. "We do believe we're closer than further, but of course the final call is theirs, so let's wait and see," he said at the time.

Cyberpunk 2077 was removed from the PlayStation Store back in December 2020 when the game launched due to its technical issues. A refund program was also undertaken at the time. About 30,000 people took advantage of the refund scheme, CD Projekt Red said.

Despite the delisting, Cyberpunk 2077 managed to sell 13.7 million copies across all platforms in its first 21 days. CD Projekt Red management has said it will not abandon Cyberpunk 2077 and will instead continue to support the game with patches and updates to help improve the experience so the game can continue to sell for a long time.

More recently, CD Projekt Red was revealed to have paid its executives millions in bonuses that were tied to the commercial performance of the game. Developers, too, received bonuses thanks to Cyberpunk 2077's strong sales.
