Cyberpunk 2077 launched buggy. It was a messy game on PC and in even worse shape on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, where performance issues caused significant problems. Since launch CD Projekt has laid out a timetable for updates throughout 2021, including frequent hotfixes, more substantial patches, and eventual DLC. Now that we're partway into 2021, CDPR have released several hotfixes, along with their two planned larger patches. 

In April, CDPR reaffirmed its plans to stick it out with Cyberpunk. "I don’t see an option to shelve Cyberpunk 2077," CEO Adam Kiciński said. "We are convinced that we can bring the game to such a state that we can be proud of it and therefore successfully sell it for years to come."

This isn't the first time CD Projekt has spent months and months updating one of its games after launch. It's actually how the company has approached all of its games dating back to the first Witcher in 2007. 

For a bit of history, here's how CD Projekt handled updates to the Witcher series.

  • The Witcher: Released October 2007, updated with four major bug-fixing patches. The free Enhanced Edition released in September 2008, incorporating all prior fixes while overhauling many models, animations, and improving translations. Followed with Patch 1.5, which added community-made quests and removed DRM.
  • The Witcher 2: Released May 2011, followed with patch four patches before 2.0. Patch 2.0 introduced an entirely new tutorial, a higher difficulty level, and a combat arena mode. Then came Patch 2.1, then the free Enhanced Edition, aka patch 3.0, which released in April 2012 and incorporated prior fixes while adding new quests, cinematics, locations and cutscenes, along with more fixes. Followed by four smaller patches, the last of which added mod support.
  • The Witcher 3: Released May 2015, updated with 18 patches by September 2016's patch 1.30. Patch 1.30 coincided with the Game of the Year Edition re-release, which incorporated all DLC, both expansions, and many more fixes. Consoles received more patches to improve performance on Xbox One X and PS4 Pro.

Below, we've assembled all the current information on what every patch released for Cyberpunk 2077 so far has fixed, including the dates they were released and the patch notes from the official site.

We're also breaking out the specific updates for the console versions at the bottom of this page because we feel for you, console pals. After decades of experience with shoddy console-to-PC ports, we know what it's like to suffer through a game that just doesn't run as well as it should.

Here's every Cyberpunk 2077 patch through April 2021 so far.
