CD Projekt Red has released many hotfixes and updates for Cyberpunk 2077 since its launch on December 10 to solve problems with the notoriously buggy game. And even the game’s patch 1.1, which was supposed to fix the problems, had a major problem – it introduced a game-breaking bug that the CD Projekt Red fixed.
The studio is planning to release a 1.2 patch at some point in the future and promises it will be “a bigger and more significant update”. CD Projekt Red is also working on a free DLC and a free update to optimize Cyberpunk 2077 for next generation consoles.
