Cyberpunk 2077 set to receive surprise new update, tackles very common issue

Despite turning its attention to The Witcher 4, CD Projekt RED is still seemingly hard at work on Cyberpunk 2077, updating the game with a new patch arriving in the next few days which aims to tackle the “most common issues”.

It has been an eventful few years for CD Projekt RED’s RPG Cyberpunk 2077. Now entering its fourth year, it is finally receiving the praise the developers have worked hard for. After the arrival of Update 2.0 and DLC Phantom Liberty in 2023, Cyberpunk 2077 shot to the top of Steam charts and is now being hailed as one of the best RPGs of all time. Not bad for a game that started off its life unplayable.

Now despite the CD Projekt RED team turning their attention to The Witcher 4, it is still dedicated to bringing updates to Cyberpunk 2077 players with a new patch arriving this week.

“We are aiming to have a new patch for Cyberpunk 2077 out sometime next week,” a tweet on the official page read on 26 January. “It will tackle the most common issues reported by players, including finisher animations. Stay tuned for more info coming after the weekend.”

As you can see, a specific date hasn’t been included but it does reveal that the patch will aim to fix the “most common issues” reported by players and we can expect some bug fixes as well.

Although CD Projekt RED will not be putting out any further major updates, it is reassuring to see it is not abandoning Cyberpunk 2077 as it gets to work on other titles.

This news comes after CDPR joint CEO Adam Badowski revealed that The Witcher 4 team is being massively increased. “We’d like to have around 400 people working on the project by the middle of the year,” he said in a report by Reuters.
