Will Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.2 still appear in February?

As always, there was quite a bit of radio silence about the state of Cyberpunk 2077, though this time with an added complication.

In fact, CDPR managed to release the promised 1.1 patch for Cyberpunk in January, but with a week left in February, the much larger and more substantial 1.2 patch had not yet been previewed or released, when it should have arrived. this month .

The complication, of course, is the recent, extended hack of CDPR, which has ruined everything from employee data to the source code of Cyberpunk, The Witcher 3 and Gwent. There are conflicting reports as to whether the code has been sold or not, and CDPR is trying to use removals to prevent anyone from doing anything substantive with it.

This means that it seems that patch 1.2 may be delayed if the hack caused too many interruptions like CDPR. Of course, the teams that track hackers and those who would buy information stolen from them are probably different from those that track bugs and errors in Cyberpunk, but it makes sense that there are some overlaps if the chaos caused by the extended hack is too harmful. For example, it appeared that hackers encrypt CDPR servers, which they had to restore from backups. Who knows if any jobs were lost there.

Cyberpunk still needs a major patch, which it hasn’t had since its launch in December. There were several quick fixes on a smaller scale and even the original 1.1 patch felt more like a quick fix than some transformer. Sony has not yet allowed the digital sale of Cyberpunk 2077 on the PS Store after releasing it shortly after its release due to technical issues and constant refund requests. This is the game version for both PS4 and PS5, and Cyberpunk console sales fell sharply in January because it was not on sale on the digital store of the world’s largest gaming platform.

It’s unclear what it will take for Sony to consider the game ready enough to be sold again, but CDPR kind of burned that bridge when it told people to run after Sony for refunds when Sony didn’t have a policy. digital return to all (they had to do one just for Cyberpunk).

Cyberpunk remains full of bugs and performance issues, and long-term issues such as traffic and police AI will not be resolved even in a large patch, most likely. And no one is expecting the promised free DLC for the game, whatever it is, until late spring or early summer right now. The official Cyberpunk account has not sent a tweet since February 5, when it launched a quick fix to fix a problem discovered in unsafe ways.

CDPR came under fire with the last patch in January, so it’s possible to do the same this week. But the hack complicates things, and long-term, long-term solutions for Cyberpunk, including a next-generation update on consoles, seem like an eternity.
