CD Projekt have detailedCyberpunk 20772.01, the game’s first patch followingupdate 2.0, which implemented a top-to-bottom reset of the once-ailing but at present, rather triumphant sci-fi RPG. According to the provisional changelog, the latest update encompasses general performance improvements and minor fixes plus a fatal bug which sees V falling through an elevator floor to their death when the performance falls too low. Now that’s whatIcall a plunging frame-rate.
While we’re talking Cyberpunk updates, CD Projekt recently toldPCGamerthat update 2.0 and the accompanying Phantom Liberty DLC are the game’s “last big updates” - from this point on, the Cyberpunk dev team will be shifting over to the currently untitled sequel. “We’ll do a little something more, but those are the last big ones,” game director Gabe Amatangelo told the site. “Then it’s Cyberpunk 2. Or ‘Orion,’ I should say, whatever we end up naming it.”
The game is certainly in a much stronger place today than it was back at launch in 2020. Graham pronouncedCyberpunk 2077: Phantom Libertyone of the best expansions ever made. Combat and customisation system tune-ups aside, the 2.0 update harboursa DOOM clone starring Johnny Silverhand which forms the iceberg’s tip of a metafictional mystery. The update’s Ukrainian localisation also containsreferences to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, which CD Projekt have apologised for and promised to remove.
