Cyberpunk 2077 quest lead says early access wouldn't work for CDPR the way it did for Larian, and the studio prefers 'to have a banging release where everything is as close to perfection as can be' like Phantom Liberty's

Paweł Sasko says CDPR's ambition's don't include a Baldur's Gate 3-style early access period.

    I preordered the very first day and BG3 early access was rough.

    But Larian got a shit ton of alpha testers that paid to test.

    And with only act 1, people played it dozens of times trying every stupid thing they could think of.

    That’s a huge advantage for the studio, and players fucking loved it.

      You could argue Cyberpunk had a lot of alpha testers as well, it just wasn’t labeled early access.

        Eh, I got cyberpunk on release too, and honestly didn’t have many issues.

        It was on a decent PC, but I never understood why so many people have such issues

        I even bought it on PS5 later as well
