Players who pre-ordered Cyberpunk 2077 and sat down to play on launch day, especially on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, had a pretty rough time of it. Even with the “day-zero” optimizations that it came with, there were a litany of bugs and performance issues when the game went live. On Friday afternoon, developer CD Projekt Red announced that it has begun rolling out the game’s first post-launch patch.
“New hotfix to #Cyberpunk2077 is now live on PlayStation consoles and PC,” the team at CD Projekt Red said in a tweet. “For Xbox systems, we are working to have the update out as soon as possible.” To make sure you’ve got it installed, keep an eye out for hotfix 1.04.
Friday’s patch arrives one day after Cyberpunk 2077’s release. It addresses a bunch of issues with certain quests. It also includes a fix for the “Disable Copyrighted Music” toggle — also known as the game’s streamer mode. Now it should actually do what it was designed to do, which is to help keep content creators from having copyright strikes leveled at them.
The patch also alters the flashing light effect in the game’s “braindances.” At least one reviewer suffered an epileptic seizure while playing the game before launch, leading the Polish studio to patch in a formal epilepsy warning. Now the sequence should be less likely to trigger those seizures in the first place.
In addition, vehicles should now pop in less frequently, and important nonplayer characters (NPCs) should see more consistent and appropriate animations during scripted sequences. CD Projekt also included several console-specific tweaks in the hotfix, such as improved reflections on PS4.
At this time, though, there’s no fix listed for the issue of the protagonist’s penises and breasts clipping through clothing.
We’ve included the full list of changes below.
