CD Projekt has released Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty Patch 2.02, which includes a number of quest and gameplay fixes as well as other general improvements.
Patch 2.02, out now across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X and S, fixes perhaps the biggest issue left with the Phantom Liberty and Update 2.0 version of CD Projekt's sci-fi epic: rebalancing the timers in courier missions.
As part of the Phantom Liberty expansion, players will occasionally find a car that needs to be driven out of the new Dog Town area to another part of Night City. The distances often don't match up with the time limit, however, and the mission will sometimes give players just 30 seconds to drive across the entire colossal map.
Here are the Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty Update 2.02 patch notes in full:

Phantom Liberty arrived on September 26, with Update 2.0 laying its foundation a few days earlier. It completely revamped Cyberpunk 2077 with features such as a new perk system and improved AI and also brought closure to an Elon Musk fan theory, a reference to the late racing legend Ken Block, and bizarre additions to the game's biggest mystery.
CD Projekt even included a way for players to turn down the events of the paid expansion altogether, with certain dialogue options locking the missions away for good.
In our 9/10 review, IGN said: "Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty completes an immense turnaround for CD Projekt Red's future RPG kickstarted with the anime spin-off, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and its latest 2.0 Update."

As continues to receive patches after the release of its DLC and major 2.0 update, some bugs regarding quests and world interactions have been fixed, and a few rare weapons have been made easier or more forgiving to acquire in-game. As many of 's rare and unique Iconic weapons can be permanently missed in over the course of a playthrough, making them easier to find is a big benefit for those who want to use or test out a wide variety of playstyles.
Even after several years of updates and an excellent expansion, Cyberpunk 2077 still isn't bug-free. I said as much in my Phantom Liberty review. The difference now versus launch back in 2020 is that the bugs are now within acceptable limits.
Cyberpunk 2077 patch 2.02 is officially live on PC and consoles and aims to address a bunch of bugs, while also adding even more performance improvements.

Players are missing out on one of the coolest cyberware weapons in , as the game cut it out from its base material. The critically acclaimed action RPG by CD Projekt Red was first created based on the 1988 tabletop RPG called, by Mike Pondsmith. Because of this, a lot of the game’s features are inspired by the original game. Prior to the disastrous launch of , the fourth edition of the tabletop game, named, was released, serving as a prequel to the story told in the video game by the renowned Polish studio, also responsible for the series of games.
CD Projekt has revealed Cyberpunk 2077's Update 2.02 is "coming soon" and includes a handful of bug fixes and other challenges.
I don't think I'm spoiling too much off the jump by saying that Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty's endings are emotionally charged and more than a little bit devastating. It is also a natural gamer behavior to goof around in such moments, but as reported by VG247, CD Projekt Red seems to have anticipated players attempting to bork one such scene, inserting hidden dialogue to reflect their apparent death drive. Spoilers for Phantom Liberty ahead.

Following a notoriously bumpy launch in 2020, CD Projekt Red successfully redeemed and revived Cyberpunk 2077 with several updates and the excellent Phantom Liberty expansion. But the Polish developer supposedly took a “significant” morale hit from the game’s troublesome development and is looking to do things differently with future release, including The Witcher 4.
CD Projekt RED's Colin Walder, engineering director for management and audio, has shared a few thoughts on how the Polish developer's next Witcher RPG, codenamed Polaris, will improve on the cataclysmic development of Cyberpunk 2077. There's not a lot to share at this stage, of course, but what there is sounds like a step in the right direction.
