02The evidence
CD PROJEKT RED continued fixing and expanding the game long after launch, culminating in sweeping free system overhauls and later feature and compatibility updates. Early launch recovery was not instantaneous, so patch speed remains below the top tier.
- The studio remained committed after a severely troubled launch.
- Large free system overhauls went beyond routine maintenance.
- Recovery took substantial time and varied by platform.
- The launch record remains visible beside the aftercare score.
