Recently, according to the head of Projekt RED, Adam Badowski, Cyberpunk 2077, has been rated by a majority of rating boards. Despite a chaotic beginning to 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is understood the process of rating Cyberpunk 2077 only took five weeks.
Badowski said: “While we wait for the game to get rated, we work on polishing technical aspects and playtesting it. Game is looking better and better with each passing day!”
