CD Projekt RED has just deployed a new update for Cyberpunk 2077. It fixes a slew of problems and bugs of all kinds, which could be very annoying.
CD Projekt RED is resolutely focused on the future. The Polish studio is currently working on The Witcher 4, its next big project, but also on the sequel to Cyberpunk 2077. Known internally under the code name Orion, it already promises to be bigger and more ambitious than its predecessor. . The developers have already indicated that they do not want to repeat their past mistakes, but the disastrous launch of Cyberpunk 2077 seems to have been completely forgotten. It must be said that the teams spared no effort to restore the studio’s image, but also to deliver a version closer to their original version of the game. However, some of the staff still continue to pamper Cyberpunk a little. 2077, proof of this is with the deployment of patch 2.12 on PC, PS5 and Xbox Series.
A new update for Cyberpunk 2077
If CP 2077 will no longer have significant updates with lots of new features, CD Projekt RED is not abandoning its most complicated project to date. Patch 2.12 was deployed this Thursday, February 29, 2024 and if it is less substantial than usual, it will have the merit of correcting a whole bunch of problems encountered after the arrival of update 2.11 of Cyberpunk 2077.
