The first of Cyberpunk’s large patches is out, adding 17GB of changes on console
Update 1.1 focuses on stability improvements
The first of two large patches planned for Cyberpunk 2077 has been released.
The 1.1 update is now available for console, PC and Stadia and weighs in at around 17GB on console and slightly under 10GB for PC.
The update focuses on various stability improvements related to memory usage, crashes, quest bugs, performance and visual issues, which you can see outlined in full via the patch notes below.
The next large Cyberpunk 2077 patch is due out in February.
“We will continue this work in patch 1.2 and other upcoming updates,” CD Projekt Red said. “At the same time we will keep fixing the bugs you encounter and listening to your feedback on how to improve the overall game experience.”
CD Projekt recently released a roadmap for future Cyberpunk 2077 updates, DLC and the game’s free next-gen console update.
While the company is still planning to release free DLC for Cyberpunk 2077, it has been delayed from its previously targeted early 2021 release.
“We’re still planning on releasing free DLC for the game, just like with The Witcher 3,” CEO Marcin Iwinski said. “However, we have decided that our priority is working on the most important fixes and updates. We will be releasing free DLC afterwards — we’ll have more to say about that in the coming months.”
The free DLC will be followed by the game’s next-gen update, which is planned for release in the second half of 2021.

Following Cyberpunk 2077’s troubled launch, CD Projekt said customers not wanting to keep the game could opt for a refund.
Players who took CD Projekt up on its offer have started getting their money back – and some are reporting that they have not yet been asked to return the game.
Several users who chose to get their money back told Vice that they have now received a refund through PayPal but have not yet been asked to send the game back in the case of physical copies, or had their digital copy removed from their console software library.
Retailers began heavily discounting Cyberpunk 2077 little more than a month after its release, with Best Buy recently offering the PS4 and Xbox One versions for $29.99, down from $59.99 at launch.
