Though the game has only been out for a matter of hours, many Cyberpunk 2077 players have already found a number of amusing glitches.
The sci-fi game suffered multiple delays earlier this year, with developers struggling to get the game ready for release within the tight pre-determined release timeline.
While a lot of serious bugs with the game have been removed before launch or via a Day 1 patch, it’s clear from social media that many visual glitches and oddities remain.
One NSFW glitch sees part of the player-character’s penis protrude through his clothes.
Other players have posted gameplay footage which features disappearing cars, teleporting objects and other visual phenomena.
“You can't go a minute in Cyberpunk without seeing some overt visual glitch,” wrote one player. “I have no idea how they pulled off those gameplay demos like a year ago with nothing going wrong.
“You will see a floating hamburger, flying mobile phone, dude walk through a wall etc every 30 seconds.”
It is likely that the glitches will be eradicated via free downloadable patches in the weeks and months to come, with the most severe malfunctions being the first to get rectified.

Back in September, it was reported that CD Projekt Red, the studio behind Cyberpunk 2077, was mandating that employees “crunch” – work heavy hours of overtime, for at least six days a week – in order to make sure the game was in a fit state for launch.
Earlier this week, it was reported that several sequences in the game could potentially trigger seizures in players with photosensitive epilepsy, a revelation which drew criticism from epilepsy charities.
CD Projekt Red have said that they are working to introduce a separate warning splash screen in the game, in addition to the existing warning in their Licence Agreement.
The company is also working on a “more permanent solution” which developers are looking to deploy as soon as possible.
