It is no secret that Cyperpunk 2077’s launch was an absolute disaster. The game launched with various bugs and performance issues that the developers allegedly knew about. The situation got so worse that Sony removed the game from their online stores. But now, it seems like things are starting to look up for Cyberpunk 2077. CDPR released the first significant update to the game in the form of a patch intended to fix the buggy game.
CDPR released Patch 1.1 for Cyberpunk 2077. The patch is intended to fix bugs, make various stability improvements to the game, and lay the foundation for further updates.

According to CDPR, the patch intends to make various stability improvements in the game in general. Moreover, it includes platform-specific changes as well.
For the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5, there is a performance optimization for crowds. For the Xbox consoles, improvements have been made regarding the memory usage for character creation, mirrors, scanning, camera remote control, and menus.
For the PC users, CDPR has said that the players should now be able to earn achievements while Steam is in offline mode. They have also fixed the “game startup crashes related to loading cache on NVIDIA graphics cards.”

About Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 is a 2020 action role-playing video game developed by CD Projekt Red and published by CD Projekt, based on video game designer Mike Pondsmith’s game series.
Set in a dystopian cyberpunk universe, the player assumes the role of “V,” a mercenary in the fictional Californian city known as “Night City,” where they deal with the fallout from a heist gone wrong that results in an experimental cybernetic “bio-chip” containing an engram of the legendary rock star and terrorist Johnny Silverhand (played by Keanu Reeves) threatening to slowly overwrite V’s mind; as the story progresses V and Johnny must work together to find a way to be separated and save V’s life.
