The cyber attack we wrote about two weeks ago really postponed the expected big patch for Cyberpunk 2077. In a brief statement on Twitter, the company confirmed a moment ago that this is a really ambitious patch, so we will have to wait for it until the second half of March. .
“Although we were keen to deliver Patch 1.2 for Cyberpunk 2077 in the timeframe we originally announced, the recent cyber attack on the studio’s IT infrastructure and the large scope of the planned game update mean that this will unfortunately not happen – we need some extra time.
Our goal for Patch 1.2 goes far beyond any of the updates so far. We’re working on many overall quality improvements and repairs, and we’re still working to make sure you get it. Because of this, we are now heading for the release in the second half of March.
It’s not something we’d love to share, but we want to make sure we release this update correctly. Stay tuned for new information as the deadline approaches. Thank you for your continued patience and support. “
While we dearly wanted to deliver Patch 1.2 for Cyberpunk 2077 in the timespan we detailed previously, the recent cyber attack on the studio’s IT infrastructure and extensive scope of the update mean this unfortunately will not happen — we’ll need some additional time. 1/3

What to add, 2021 seems to be a year of many delays so far, and this is just another one on the list, although its causes are somewhat different and very specific. Although CDPR received another month with this announcement, they also emphasized that the most effective patch for the game is yet to go (I can’t believe it, given the change the game underwent on consoles between versions 1.0 and 1.01), which may have inflated dangerously. players’ expectations. We can only wait to see how it turns out and whether the developers will really be able to move the game significantly so that, for example, Sony can finally return it to its PlayStation Store.
