Cyberpunk 2077's launch woes look far from over, as following the game's removal from the PlayStation store over the weekend, Xbox has now added an Xbox One performance warning to the listing for the game on the Microsoft Store and is expanding its refund policy for the game.
A tweet thread from the Xbox Support Twitter acount reads: "To ensure that every player can get the experience they expect on Xbox, we will be expanding our existing refund policy to offer full refunds to anyone who purchased Cyberpunk 2077 digitally from the Microsoft Store, until further notice."
Acknowledging the issues many players have reported trying to play the game on base level Xbox One consoles, the thread also mentioned that "to date, we have granted refunds to the vast majority of customers who have requested one." The game's listing on the Microsoft Store page now reads "Users may experience performance issues when playing this game on Xbox One consoles until this game is updated."
While we know the developers at CD PROJEKT RED have worked hard to ship Cyberpunk 2077 in extremely challenging circumstances, we also realize that some players have been unhappy with the current experience on older consoles.

It's far from the only bad news for CD Projekt Red either, as the New York Times has reported over the weekend (spotted by VideoGamesChronicle) that a Warsaw-based lawfirm and investor of the studio has announced it is analysing grounds for legal action on the studio's alleged "misrepresentation in order to receive financial benefits" as well as a second New York based law firm —Wolf Haldenstein Adler Freeman & Herz LLP—also saying they were investigating potential cases "resulting from allegations that CD Projekt may have issued materially misleading information to their shareholders and investing public."
For their part, CD Projekt Red have been trying to fix issues on the game as previously promised, with the second patch in as many weeks dropping on Saturday evening. Hotfix 1.05 is said to fix many issues not limited to UI overlap, mission progression, stability improvements and much more that you can read the full patch notes on over here.
Unfortunately, a new bug has also appeared to arise (as reported by Eurogamer), particularly on PC versions of the game, in which saves may become corrupted if they reach 8mb in size, to which the studio has advised to keep a lower amount of items and crafting materials until a fix can be deployed, although any increase in save file size limit won't fix already corrupted saves.
