Overview

  • Players reported widespread bugs, frequent crashes and sub-30 fps performance on PC and PS5 Pro following the June 10 launch.
  • PlayStation has granted rare refund requests after acknowledging optimization failures, mirroring the precedent set by Cyberpunk 2077’s launch.
  • Build A Rocket Boy identified a memory leak as the root of most crashes and deployed Friday’s hotfix with CPU/GPU optimizations and hardware-related crash warnings.
  • The developer plans two more updates by mid-June and late June to further improve stability, fix mini-game controls, enhance AI and rebalance difficulty.
  • Mixed reviews, cancelled sponsored streams and a plummeting Steam player count underscore eroded confidence in the studio’s debut title.
