CD Projekt RED is determined to fix Cyberpunk 2077 and bring it up to a level of quality they can be proud of. They’ve started down the long road to recovery, and the PS4 and Xbox One versions – which are in far greater need of major fixes than the PC versions (the former especially) – recently received a major update in patch 1.2, which brought along a ridiculously massive list of improvements.
Now, patch 1.21 has gone live as well, and though the changelog isn’t nearly as big as the previous patch, there’s still plenty of issues that have been addressed here. Several bugs that were blocking progression in numerous quests have been squashed, open world and gameplay issues (like cops spawning directly behind you if you commit a crime while standing on a rooftop) have been fixed, the UI has been made less cluttered, the number and frequency of crashes has been reduced- and much more. Check out the full update notes below.
Cyberpunk 2077 is available on PS4, Xbox One, PC, and Stadia (though on PS4, it’s still not available on the PlayStation Store). PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions are also planned for later this year.
