Nine days ago, CD Projekt Red promised Cyberpunk 2077’s first major patch within 10 days, and they’ve delivered. Cyberpunk 2077 patch 1.1 is available now as an update across all platforms, with the size running 6.7 GB on Steam and 17 GB on consoles. CD Projekt Red says the focus of this first update was to improve stability, reduce crashes, and begin to lay the groundwork for more extensive bug fixes. There are no quality of life enhancements or other changes or additions to the game here. Patch 1.1 is strictly about getting Cyberpunk 2077 into a more acceptably playable state. Patch 1.2 is in the works right now, scheduled tentatively for sometime next month.

At this time, Cyberpunk 2077 remains delisted from the PlayStation Store, but those who previously purchased or downloaded the game can still get the update whether they have it on PS4 or PS5. There’s been no comment from either Sony or CDPR about when the game might return to the digital storefront on Sony’s platform, except that the studio is working to get it back up as soon as possible.
Due to the issues at launch and a focus on fixing the game, the next-gen versions were pushed back to sometime in the latter half of 2021. While working hard to fix the game’s multitude of issues, CDPR is also facing multiple lawsuits from investors who felt that the company intentionally misled the public about the state of the game on previous-gen consoles. A recent report from Bloomberg detailed the troubled launch even further, alleging that much of what the developer showed was faked. CDPR disputes this claim.
Having just gone live today, it’s unknown just how much Cyberpunk 2077 patch 1.1 improves the experience, particularly on last-gen consoles. Have you downloaded and installed the update yet? Let us know if it changed anything for you in the comments below.
