CD Projekt Red has released yet another hotfix for Cyberpunk 2077, with Hotfix 1.22 adding further improvements to the stability and performance of the game.
Cyberpunk 2077 is still receiving updates to make the game “playable”, almost six months after it was released. Two weeks ago, Hotfix 1.21 released, and CD Projekt Red also stated they weren’t “shelving” Cyberpunk yet. The game had a lacklustre launch coming under fire for making the game basically unplayable on last-gen consoles. However, this week, Paweł Sasko, the Lead Quest Designer for Cyberpunk 2077, stated he “doesn’t feel players realise how difficult it was to make the game.”
Hotfix 1.22 Patch Notes
Nevertheless, Hotfix 1.22 is now live on PC, consoles and Stadia. The update addresses frequently reported issues from the last patch and adds further improvements to the stability and performance of the game. Here’s the list of changes below:
Quests & Open World
- The Metro: Memorial Park dataterm should now properly count towards the Frequent Flyer achievement.
- Fixed glitches in Johnny’s appearance occurring after buying the Nomad car from Lana.
- Fixed an issue in Gig: Until Death Do Us Part where it was not possible to use the elevator.
