According to the CDPR studio, the highly anticipated and so far also the last announced “big” patch for Cyberpunk 2077 is very close to its release on PC, consoles and Stadia. So we got the so-called “patch notes”, or complete list improvements, fixes and changes in the patch contained. The release of this list suggests that the patch itself could follow in a few hours. Much of these changes are related to specific situations in individual missions, which should of course dramatically improve the overall impression of their playing.
When I read it like that, I’m quite sorry that I played C77 without all these improvements, and I feel like trying to play it again to see how much it has moved after all these (hundreds?) Improvements. Looking at the almost thirty-page list, we can’t deny that CDPR has done a tremendous amount of work for this patch. Besides, we are they wrote also about leaked names of planned DLCs, some of which are to be paid.
With a similarly large patch, of course, there is a chance that, on the contrary, some things will break like this table for the last, much smaller patch. In addition to mission-specific fixes, the list of patch 1.2 also includes fixes or enhancements to more general things, such as:
