Notorious Cyberpunk 2077 game gets a second chance

• The well-chronicled catastrophe led to apologies, refunds, a temporary PlayStation store delisting and a stock price swan dive for the Polish game maker.

Between the lines: Tuesday's new version adds revamped crowd and enemy behavior in all versions of the game, as well as a revamped set of unlockable abilities.

• The new PS5 and Xbox Series S and X versions have all of that and enhanced graphics. They're available as a free upgrade for people who bought the game on PS4 or Xbox One.
• The next-gen versions will also be offered as a free five-hour trial for the next 30 days, which might be enough time to blaze through the whole game if you’re a top speedrunner.
