What Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.01 Fixes

Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.01

While Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 is a big step up from the previous version and a vast, vast improvement on the original, there were still a few quirks. For example, there were a couple of cops roaming the streets in a burnt out car. Unfortunately, that’s now been fixed so while Night City’s streets are still scary, they’re no longer haunted. Aside from that, the patch contains fixes for both the main game and the Phantom Liberty expansion.

For example, the “Going-Away Party” gig would sometimes spawn its quest car underground. That’s now been fixed. It also fixes an issue where “..when riding the elevator to the 42nd floor with low FPS, V could fall through the floor and die.” We hope someone’s got footage of this before it was squashed because it sounds both horrifying and hilarious. There was also a separate bug which could have rendered V immortal, which has also been fixed.

Bug fixing aside, some gameplay elements have been tweaked. The game contained obsolete crafting specs which have now been removed. And it’s now easier to switch your Arm Cyberware. And if you’re on PC, with a real powerhouse of a machine, the image quality of DLSS Ray Reconstruction has been improved on Ultra Performance.

The patch is being rolled out now across PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC. Developer CD Projekt Red stopped supporting and updating the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions some time ago. Here, from the patch notes, are all the fixes that CD Projekt Red has listed for Cyberpunk 2077, though they advise that there are even more unlisted ones.
