Cyberpunk 2077 was one the most anticipated launches of 2020. But the video game, which took eight years to develop and had its release delayed three times, is not without fault.
Most early reviews have been conducted on PC, meaning gamers were not fully aware of the issues that arise when the game is played on consoles like PlayStation or Xbox.
While glitches and bugs are to be expected with most new launches, players have taken to Twitter to share some screengrabs and videos of their more comical issues under the hashtag #Cyberpunk2077bugs, which has been trending since its worldwide release on Thursday, December 10.
Here are some of the funniest glitches spotted in the game so far...

How Alia's experiment will help humans get to Mars
Alia’s winning experiment examined how genes might change under the stresses caused by being in space, such as cosmic radiation and microgravity.
Her samples were placed in a machine on board the International Space Station. called a miniPCR thermal cycler, which can copy DNA multiple times.
After the samples were examined on return to Earth, scientists were able to successfully detect changes caused by being in space in the way DNA transmits instructions through proteins and other molecules in living organisms.
Although Alia’s samples were taken from nematode worms, the results have much bigger long term applications, especially for human space flight and long term missions, such as to Mars.
It also means that the first DNA experiments using human genomes can now be carried out on the ISS.
