As for some of the more significant fixes it brings, the NCPD spawn radius has been increased, meaning the appearance of law enforcement won’t feel as random as it did in previous versions of the game. There’s also a new “steering sensitivity” slider in the options menu. It will aim to improve driving mechanics, hopefully offering some more options to players that found operating cars to be floaty and weightless. Other interesting additions are buffing theGorilla Armsto do 20% more damage, changing clothing vendors' items to be more location appropriate, and reducing the price of Tabula e-Rasa.
For most players, it’s the game-breaking bugs they’re most interested in seeing fixed, and the quest section definitely seems to offer some much-needed changes. Issues from every lifepath, main quest, side mission, and more have been adjusted, whether that’s making it so players can attack Maelstrom before entering All Foods withoutThe Pickupquest being blocked or fixing an issue where Mr. Hands wouldn’t call V afterDouble Life.It’s definitely a major step forward forCyberpunk 2077and will hopefully facilitate a more accessible experience going forward.
This won’t be the final update forCyberpunk 2077this year, as fans are still slated to see more from the game in the months to come. While CD Projekt Red will be releasing further updates,there will also be both PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X upgrades coming to the RPG, which will be available free of charge for those who already own the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions. Meanwhile, DLC is slated for the title, although it remains to be seen when it will be on the cards. Following the game’s disappointing launch last December, CD Projekt Red has been desperately trying to reworkCyberpunkand make up for its mistakes, and it seems the studio’s plans throughout 2021 will be entirely focused on achieving that goal.
Cyberpunk 2077is out now on PC, PlayStation 4, Stadia, and Xbox One, with PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X versions coming later this year.
