I myself was certainly guilty of buying into the hype. These were expectations that CDPR was very comfortable stoking, making claims about the quality of the game that look downright laughable in hindsight. The game also failed to meet the lofty expectations that many had placed on it in other areas. The reason that Cyberpunk 2077 faltered so spectacularly last winter wasn’t just that it was buggy. It took an entire extra year but Cyberpunk 2077 is finally in an acceptable state! Expectations readjusted Nevertheless, I’m appreciative that anyone jumping into Night City for the first time now won’t have to suffer through the truckload of bugs, glitches and hard crashes that launch day players were forced to endure. The facts of the matter are that the game was released in an unacceptable state, and fixing its own mess was the least CDPR could do. Of course, Cyberpunk 2077 should never have needed this much additional post-launch polish. That's a lot of significant improvements.
CYBERPUNK 2077 XBOX UPDATE
This update includes new weapons, new apartments to buy throughout Night City, the long-request ability to change your appearance after the intro and entirely re worked perk and loot systems.
CYBERPUNK 2077 XBOX PATCH
That's not all that this hefty update adds, it's also the first free patch to include a significant amount of new content and gameplay tweaks. It's a significant update that adds another layer of polish to the game. These range from improving combat AI and crowd behaviour to fixing glitched quests that wouldn't complete for some players. This just week the game's 1.5 patch (opens in new tab) has dropped which adds another laundry list of improvements to the game. This approach has slowly but surely transformed the game into something immensely playable (at least on PS4 Pro and Xbox One X). It should be noted that aside from a summer patch adding some very middling free DLC in the form of a couple of jackets and a car, the 10+ updates that have dropped during 2021 were solely dedicated to squashing bugs and improving overall stability. Some of the patches released at the start of the year actually introduced new game-breaking bugs to the game, but the majority slowly molded the game into an acceptable state. The Polish company appeared to do basically nothing but patch and update Cyberpunk 2077.
