Poland's Competition and Consumer Protection Authority has launched an investigation into CD Projekt Red over the disastrous console release of Cyberpunk 2077. [A spokesperson for UOKiK told PC Gamer that the company will be keeping a close eye on CD Projekt Red's cyberpunk efforts.

"We ask the entrepreneur to explain the problems with the game and the actions he has taken. Not only how the manufacturer is working to introduce fixes or resolve difficulties that prevent people from playing the game on different consoles, but also how he is working with people who, despite the manufacturer's previous assurances, are frustrated because they cannot play the game on their own equipment and are dissatisfied with their purchase. See how they intend to act."

UOKiK seems to be taking a great deal of interest in the PS4 and Xbox One versions of Cyberpunk, the PS4 version of which was released in such tattered condition that Sony removed the game from the PlayStation Store. A U.S. law firm also filed a class action lawsuit against the game in the weeks before its release, citing co-CEO Adam Kaczynski's claim that the game ran "surprisingly well" on the current consoles.

The PC version was considerably better, but still suffered from (often hilarious) bugs. All versions also suffered from potentially seizure-inducing effects at launch, which made the game virtually unplayable for some until a later patch improved it.

If UOKiK does not feel that CD Projekt has done enough to make these console versions fully playable, regulators have the power to fine studios up to 10% of their annual revenue. While there does not seem to be a precedent for a government agency to fine a developer for releasing a buggy product, it nonetheless adds to the many problems facing the company, whose stock has plummeted in the wake of Cyberpunk 2077's release.

CD Projekt Red had no comment.
