Cyberpunk 2077 has been plagued with many problems and bugs since its launch. But CD Projekt Red has continued to patch the game and the latest patch brings some major changes and improvements to this title.
You can now download and install patch 1.23 for Cyberpunk 2077 on PC, Stadia, and consoles. As you can see, these patches offer some very specific fixes to things like missions to the overall performance of the game.
For example, The Robbery mission now plays as intended. And some of the more well-known bugs (such as the ability to cause severe damage by dropping an NPC’s body) are now fixed.
Other fixes include changes to animation, physics, and general gameplay. So if you know what to look for, some parts of the game may seem like a brand new game. Behind the scenes, changes to memory optimization, memory management, and other CPU issues ensure better and more stable performance.
This new patch, along with the re-release of the game on PlayStation Store, could signal a brighter future for this controversial title. You can review the patch list below and determine if this will be enough to get players back to the game.
