A new patch is available for Cyberpunk 2077, which also features fixes for its expansion Phantom Liberty. For the latter, it fixes a progression blocker when choosing the Corpo Lifepath choice in speaking to Paco. Unfortunately, an exploit that allowed for farming Relic points while talking to Songbird for the first time is fixed.
Other bug fixes include progression blockers, traffic disappearing, and even Reed not wearing his party outfit when speaking to Songbird. There are also fixes for lightning, animations, visual effects and more, along with improvements on all platforms for performance in Dogtown.
However, the most important fix is for PlayStation players, who reported corrupted saves after Update 2.0 went live. The maximum save file size limit has increased, thus preventing it from occurring again, but this won’t fix saves corrupted before patch 2.01 went live. Check out some patch notes below for more details and full notes here.
