CD Projekt Red recently revealed patch notes for the upcoming 2.01 update to Cyberpunk 2077, covering a number of tweaks and fixes. This update follows the game's Phantom Liberty and massive 2.0 update which, despite being criticized by some Cyberpunk 2077 players, has been generally considered a success.

Since Cyberpunk 2077 launched in a notoriously buggy state, many gamers harbored concerns about the Phantom Liberty DLC. The substantial expansion was set to introduce a new region, new weapons, and a cinematic, sprawling quest line, adding plenty of fresh and ambitious content to the game. Luckily, it seems that CD Projekt Red learned its lesson from the initial Cyberpunk 2077 controversies and Phantom Liberty, alongside its accompanying 2.0 update, arrived with few technical issues. However, there are still some areas that could be tidied up, some of which are being addressed through the game's next update.

Despite the fact that CD Projekt Red is shifting its focus to the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, further small improvements will continue to be made to the game following the 2.0 update. The studio recently released the patch notes for the first of these small updates, which will be fixing a number of bugs. Some of the bugs addressed are minor, like the car radio playing too quietly, while others, like save files being corrupted on PlayStation, are more significant. The patch notes also state that PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S versions of the game will all be receiving performance improvements.

While many fans were understandably bothered by the base game's serious technical issues at launch, the launch of Phantom Liberty has been remarkably smooth when compared to that of the base game. Although Cyberpunk 2077 still isn't perfect, Phantom Liberty and the 2.0 update have shown what the game could have been at launch if more time was spent working out its kinks. With the arrival of this upcoming patch and future patches, the game should become even more polished.

That said, CD Projekt Red still has work to do. The 2.01 update, per the patch notes, addresses some common bugs and concerns, but not all of them, and some players may still feel unsatisfied with the game's technical state, especially those on PS4 and Xbox One, who will not be able to enjoy the 2.0 update or the Phantom Liberty DLC. However, with Phantom Liberty offering a fresh take on the game and the 2.0 update overhauling many of its criticized systems, the future of Cyberpunk 2077 looks brighter than ever.

Update 2.01 Patch Notes

• The distorted effect caused by selecting a specific dialogue option when talking to Johnny at the end of Automatic Love will no longer persist on the screen.
• V will no longer die in The Heist by falling through the elevator when riding to the 42nd floor with low FPS.
• Fixed an issue where the UI could show controller inputs when playing with keyboard and mouse.
• Made it possible to properly switch to arms cyberware by cycling through weapons.
• Gig: Breaking News will be properly triggered after approaching the quest area.
• Vehicle radio volume will be adjusted so it's not too quiet when compared to other sounds in the game.
• Addressed the issue of corrupted saves on PlayStation by increasing the maximum save file size limit. Note: this won't fix the saves corrupted before the update. If you're experiencing the issue, keep a working save (e.g. resave it as manual save) till 2.01 arrives.
• Performance improvements for both PC and consoles, especially in the Dogtown area.

Cyberpunk 2077 is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
