Recently, Cyberpunk 2077 released the 1.2 update that introduced a bevy of improvements to the sci-fi RPG including tweaks to the driving controls, an impressive list of bug fixes, and some reworking of how police units spawned in during gameplay. The update was a sizable one, but did not address all of the issues that CD Projekt Red is looking to fix in Cyberpunk 2077. However, the company has stated its commitment to updating and patching the game until it is in a place that it can be proud of.

So now comes Hotfix 1.22 to further fix some of the issues that players have reported coming across in Cyberpunk 2077. It is not a massive list of fixes, but it does boast a few quest bugs that should now be resolved so that they won’t continue to get in players’ ways. The quests impacted include “Gig: Until Death Do Us Part,” “Epistrophy,” “Down on the Street,” “New Dawn Fades,” and “Riders on the Storm.” While Cyberpunk 2077 still has plenty more bugs to be squashed, the hotfix is at least some good progress.
Other improvements in Hotfix 1.22 include various issues being fixed that were causing clothes on NPCs to clip into their models and subtitles to be misaligned when in Arabic. The hotfix should also cut down on crashes as it improves Cyberpunk 2077’s memory management and also the GPU performance of rendering clothing and skin. For consoles specifically, the Xbox One version of the game is receiving GPU and ESRAM improvements with the patch while the PlayStation 4 version is getting further memory management improvements. The Google Stadia version of Cyberpunk 2077 is also having an issue resolved that saw players soft-locked in the key binding menu if they went into it without a keyboard connected.
The hotfix doesn’t bring a great number of changes, but CD Projekt Red’s rate of updates is impressive regardless. It is always great to see a company stand by its product, and with how well Cyberpunk 2077 sold despite its issues at launch, there are many fans that will doubtlessly be thankful for the various improvements to the experience. Hopefully, CD Projekt Red can continue to improve the game and bring it closer to what the company and fans were originally hoping it could be.
Cyberpunk 2077 is available now on PC, PlayStation 4, Stadia, and Xbox One. PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S versions are currently in development.
