CD Projekt Red released a weird update on Cyberpunk 2077ās next big patch today, including a brief explanation of changes coming to how its open world works, delivered by an in-universe news broadcaster. *Sigh*.
You can listen to Night City news anchor Gillean Jordan cryptically tease these changes in a series of videos that show them in action, but here are some of the major bullet points for patch 1.2:
Fewer cops randomly spawning directly behind you the second you put a toe out of line.
Adjustments to speed and steering to make driving easier, including a sensitivity slider.
Tweaks to make cars control better even when the framerate dips.
A new āUnstuck featureā that activates when you accelerate but donāt move (because youāre stuck on something or have encountered some other strange Nigh City anomaly).
The option to turn off double-tapping the movement key to dodge.
More options for WASD bindings on keyboard.
Andā¦thatās it. For now at least. Patch 1.2 is supposed to fix a lot of underlying performance issues with the game as well, especially on consoles, where itās still hard to recommend playing Cyberpunk 2077 unless youāre on next-gen hardware.
A lot of the above fixes will address long-running complaints players have had about Cyberpunk 2077ās open world separate from glitches and suboptimal performance. Cops swarming players out of nowhere has been a big one. Itās basically Grand Theft Autoās lawless meter on overdrive, and makes trying to be an actual cyberpunk simply not much fun. The gameās driving can also be a mess, even if it leads to some supremely weird and entertaining moments.
Cyberpunk 2077 got its first major patch in January, but hasnāt received much in the way of updates since. Thereās no word yet on when 1.2 will drop either. CD Projekt Red had previously announced the patch would be delayed following a cyber-attack at the company, but didnāt say until when. For now, the game remains unavailable on the PlayStation Store since Sony originally pulled it a week after release because of the various problems players encountered.
