Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.01 Will Address Corrupted Saves, Quest Bugs, and More

Like many of CD Projekt RED's games, 's DLC contains a great number of excellently concealed Easter eggs, hidden details, and subtle pop-culture references. Although some of 's secrets are easily discovered, others are incredibly hard to uncover — this, however, is part of the fun. While simple awareness of a reference is rewarding, having to spend a great deal of time and effort in locating an Easter egg amplifies the reward.

The side quest "" forces players to decide the fate of a former SovOil agent named Katya. The quest begins with Ana and Steven, two members of a Brazilian intelligence agency, hiring V to find their missing friend and former collaborator, one Mark Bana. Bana wore a biomonitor at the time of his disappearance, which is still giving off signals to suggest he might be alive. However, the agents warn that it might not actually be Bana behind the signals. V tracks Bana through Organitopia, a natural history museum taken over by technological scavengers, and at the end of it all, finds Katya.

A new trailer is available for CD Projekt RED’s Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, showcasing all the accolades the expansion has earned. As the first and only paid expansion for the first-person shooter/RPG, it’s received extensive acclaim from critics – check out what they think below.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is being heralded as the game that we deserved back in 2020, finally completing CD Projekt Red's vision of Night City. Alongside the version 2.0 update, Phantom Liberty overhauls almost everything about the game, from its combat and RPG mechanics, to how its NPCs interact with the world.

In Cyberpunk 2077, you are able to modify your body using cyberware. This cyberware gives you a huge edge in combat, and it’ll be tailored to the build you’re sporting. If you’re after a specific piece of kit – the Chrome Compressor – then you’re in luck. Here’s how to get the Chrome Compressor, and what it does, in Cyberpunk 2077.

Unlocking the Agaou Throwing Axe in ’s DLC is a great idea, as the new weapon added can do some impressive damage to opponents. The throwable machete is part of, a paid expansion for CD Projekt Red’s popular RPG. The Agaou is considered an iconic piece of gear and one of the coolest new weapons in . What makes it so special is that it can be thrown at enemies for massive damage but, in addition to that, it also discharges an AoE shock effect onto them.

A new patch is available for Cyberpunk 2077, which also features fixes for its expansion Phantom Liberty. For the latter, it fixes a progression blocker when choosing the Corpo Lifepath choice in speaking to Paco. Unfortunately, an exploit that allowed for farming Relic points while talking to Songbird for the first time is fixed.

While CD Projekt Red is sadly moving on from Cyberpunk 2077 to focus on the sequel, meaning we won't be getting any more expansions or significant updates, there's still a wee bit of polishing to do. Update 2.0 and Phantom Liberty arrived in a good state, but there's still some room for improvement, which is what patch 2.01 is focused on, squashing some bugs—including a particularly annoying one that's been around for years—and buffing the game's performance, particularly in Dogtown. 

Aside from the main storyline of 's spy thriller DLC, the expansion also has several new gigs that V can choose to take on along the way. Gigs are entirely optional but often can provide some good rewards and experience, in addition to providing some colorful backstory and lore for the game. They can often be triggered by entering an area or through story advancement, and are frequently started with a phone call, but they do not need to be completed immediately, so V can circle back when ready.

Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.01 is scheduled to be released later today across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

CD Projekt Red has acknowledged the existence of a rather nasty issue with Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, specifically on PS5. While it's unclear just how widespread this problem is, you can find plenty of (understandably devastated) posts about it on Reddit and social media.
