"The plaintiff, Andrew Trampe, is looking to include other investors in the suit to turn it into a class action lawsuit," the report said on Friday.

CD Projekt allegedly failed to convey that the game was "virtually unplayable," the lawsuit read.

CyberPunk 2077 became one of the best selling games of the year with the launch. 

Many of those sales came from preorders after a much-hyped marketing campaign.

Microsoft last week added a warning to its listing of `Cyberpunk 2077` to alert potential `Xbox One` players to the game`s "performance issues".

"Users may experience performance issues when playing this game on `Xbox One` consoles until this game is updated," the warning read

Earlier, Sony Interactive Entertainment (SIE) announced that it was removing `Cyberpunk 2077` from the PlayStation Play Store to ensure a high level of customer satisfaction.

Sony said it was offering full refunds to anyone who bought the game from the digital storefront.

Sony`s move came after CD Projekt said people unsatisfied with their purchase on the PS4 or Xbox One should request a refund.
