Cyberpunk 2077 hotfix includes more bug fixes
A new hotfix has been released for Cyberpunk 2077 on all platforms that “addresses the most frequently reported issues since the last patch,” according to developer CD Projekt Red.
Following today’s hotfix, Johnny should no longer appear glitchy after buying the Nomad car, the elevator should work in Gig: Until Death Do Us Part, and players should now be able to open their phone in the apartment during New Dawn Fades. Additionally, issues with NPC clothes clipping, Takemura getting stuck, and not being able to use weapons or consumables in Riders on the Storm have been fixed.
There are also memory management improvements for PlayStation 5, GPU and ESRAM optimizations for Xbox One, and improvements to GPU performance for skinning and cloth rendering. Read the full patch notes below:
