Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.01 is rolling out on Xbox, PS5, and PC later today. This is the first update since the launch of the fantastic Phantom Liberty DLC and the coinciding 2.0 release for the base game. It features a variety of quest fixes, general bug squashing and performance improvements for the game.

We already knew what some of the fixes in Patch 2.01 were going to be, as CD Projekt Red had already revealed a list of core bug fixes and performance improvements they were hitting with this update, but now we have the complete list. You can see the full list of changes below or on the Cyberpunk website.

As you might be able to tell from my Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty review, I’m a massive fan of both the new DLC and the overhaul that CD Projekt Red made to the core game too. This hasn’t been a particularly buggy release (certainly not when compared to the state that the original game launched in), but bug fixes like this are always appreciated — especially if any of these quest bugs were stopping you from finishing off the Cyberpunk 2077 achievements.

Quests & Open World

  • Automatic Love - The distortion effect caused by talking to Johnny and selecting a specific dialogue option at the end of the quest will no longer persist on the screen.

  • Fixed an issue where, when riding the elevator to the 42nd floor with low FPS, V could fall through the floor and die.
  • The Prophet's Song - Fixed an issue where completing the quest could cause the police system to turn a blind eye to V's crimes.

For the Epic Games Store, the issue is still under investigation.

Miscellaneous

  • Various crash fixes on PC and consoles.
