CD Projekt Red is correcting and correcting Cyberpunk 2077 since its tumultuous release in December, but the next major update will come a little later than players expected. The developer posted an update to the official Twitter account for the game on Wednesday, writing that “the recent cyber attack on the studio’s IT infrastructure and the broad scope of the update means that this will unfortunately not happen – we will need more time”.
While we really wanted to deliver Patch 1.2 for Cyberpunk 2077 in the timeframe we detailed earlier, the recent cyber attack on the studio’s IT infrastructure and the broad scope of the update mean that this will unfortunately not happen – we will need more time. 1/3

This cyber attack was carried out by hackers who stole “certain data belonging to the capital group of CD Projekt” and who then made an attempt to retrieve that information. In the hackers’ ransom note, they claimed they would release the source data to Cyberpunk 2077, The magician 3, Gwent, and an unreleased version of THE Witcher 3, as well as “documents relating to accounting, administration, legal, HR, [and] Relationship with investors.”
“Our goal for Patch 1.2 goes beyond any of our previous updates,” wrote CD Projekt Red in a follow-up tweet. “We have been working on general quality improvements and corrections and we still have a lot of work to do to make sure you get it. With that in mind, we intend to launch in the second half of March. ”
Although Patch 1.2 will not be released this month as originally planned, modders have been working on unofficial updates to game features such as steering controls, the minimap or even adding a group of companions for protagonist V.
