CDPR, on Wednesday, dropped Hotfix 1.22 for Cyberpunk 2077 on all platforms. This is the second hotfix to arrive for Patch 1.2 which, like most big updates, came with its fair share of issues.
Hotfix 1.22 focuses on fixing the most frequently reported issues that came with Patch 1.2 while bringing further improvements to stability and performance of the game. Here are the full patch notes classified by section and platform:
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.
- Fixed an issue in Epistrophy where the player could get trapped in the garage if they didn’t follow the drone and ran into the control room instead.
- Added a retrofix for the issue we fixed in 1.21, where Takemura could get stuck in Japantown Docks in Down on the Street – for players who already experienced it before update 1.21 and continued playing until 1.22, Takemura will now teleport to Wakako’s parlor.
- Fixed an issue preventing the player from opening the phone in the apartment at the beginning of New Dawn Fades.
- Fixed an issue where the player could become unable to use weapons and consumables after interacting with a maintenance panel in Riders on the Storm.

Ever since Cyberpunk’s controversial release last year, CDPR has been trying to bring the game from the abyss with a steady stream of updates and patches. Despite being an absolute mess on arrival, reports state that CDPR earned over $500 million in total sales revenue in 2020 primarily due to the release of its futuristic first-person RPG.
While the game still needs work, it’s heartening to see the improvements that the updates are bringing. The only thing that remains to be seen is how much more time it will take for the game to become fully playable.
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.
