A New Update for Cyberpunk 2077 Is Coming Soon

Signs indicate that Cyberpunk 2077 will soon receive an update, fulfilling the expectations of many players regarding the resolution of newly emerging bugs.

Changes to the Steam database for Cyberpunk 2077 suggest an update is in the works for the game. This upcoming update is expected to address several frustrating bugs introduced in a previous Cyberpunk 2077 patch.

The latest update for Cyberpunk 2077 introduced several major additions, such as a complete metro system, replayable racing games, improved boss battles, a new romance event, and more. With that update bringing so many significant features, it's perhaps unsurprising that several new bugs also appeared. Cyberpunk 2077 has always been plagued by bugs, and while the development team has significantly improved this since the game's release, some bugs still persist. Fortunately for fans of this sci-fi RPG, it seems that fixes for some of these bugs will arrive sooner than expected.

According to Cyberpunk 2077's SteamDB tracking tool, the development team has something in the works, often signaling that an update is coming soon. Several annoying bugs have affected some users since the game's previous 2.1 update. These bugs include melee weapon finishing animations not activating, disappearing cyberware health pumps, disappearing map markers, etc. CD Projekt Red has stated that they are aware of some of these issues, implicitly suggesting they are working on solutions. The studio hasn't confirmed that this upcoming update will focus on bug fixes, but that seems highly likely.

Given CD Projekt Red 's dedication in recent years to fixing issues in Cyberpunk 2077, fans can expect the development team to give due attention to these latest problems. Cyberpunk 2077 patches are typically released on Tuesdays, and there's still some time for that to happen today, January 9th, but if not, fans may have to wait until next Tuesday, January 16th.

Despite the game's latest bugs, fans are still enjoying Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty DLC to the point that it sold 700,000 copies in December alone.

The latest expansion for Cyberpunk 2077 launched to overwhelmingly positive reviews, playing a crucial role in reviving the previously criticized and buggy game. In recognition of CD Projekt Red's unwavering efforts to turn things around, Cyberpunk 2077 won the Best Online Game award at The Game Awards 2023, a category honoring 'excellent continuous content development that enhances the player experience over time'.

Looking at the initial state of Cyberpunk 2077 compared to its current state, this is a well-deserved reward. Now, after bringing their game to a respectable state, this AAA studio has announced that they are nearly finished developing new content for Cyberpunk 2077. Reportedly, they are working on the next game in the Witcher series, as well as a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077.
