Cyberpunk 2077 patch 2.02 fixes a ton of Phantom Liberty bugs and rebalances the stats of weapons

Lies of P launched back in September and turned out to be a Soulslike favorite amongst critics and fans alike this year – we gave it one of our highest scores of 2023 and you can read about why in Game Informer's Lies of P review. To celebrate the game's reception, director Jiwon Choi released a Director's Letter video earlier this month to tease some images of Lies of P's DLC and reveal details about an upcoming update. That update is now out and it includes free cosmetic items, some bug fixes, and balance changes that should make the game easier. 

As 2023 comes to a close, the games industry once again prepares for another ceremony recognizing the year’s line-up of adventures that made us laugh, cry, and everything in between. While we all have our personal lists, The Game Awards (TGA) packages that into something a little more formal.

A new Alan Wake 2 patch comes with more than 100 fixes, some of which address serious progress-blocking bugs. In one case, Remedy says the Coffee World area from an early chapter of the game is simply "more fun" now.

Women make up just between 24% and 30% of the video game industry’s workforce, depending on the research source. However, year after year, from players to developers, female representation has been growing throughout games at all levels of experience.

With Cyberpunk 2077's only expansion, Phantom Liberty, now firmly in the rearview, CD Projekt RED is free to look to the future. There's the new The Witcher trilogy, of course, but also the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel codenamed Project Orion.

A new Cyberpunk 2077 patch is now live on PC and consoles, introducing various optimizations, performance improvements, and bug fixes.

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.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty seriously impressed me with its RPG reactivity⁠—the written-in bits that show CD Projekt Red anticipated and accounted for players' actions. The goofy rocket guy easter egg was certainly fun, but I'm thinking more in terms of life path-exclusive dialogue or main game events that get a nod in Phantom Liberty.

Update 2.0 is the final major content patch for CD Projekt RED’s Cyberpunk 2077, but the developer continues working on smaller ones to fix various issues. Patch 2.02 is en route and though only highlights are available, it will provide fixes, like V no longer flatlining when entering the Delamain AV in Path of Glory.

CD Projekt has revealed Cyberpunk 2077's Update 2.02 is "coming soon" and includes a handful of bug fixes and other challenges.

The Cyberpunk 2077 2.02 patch is releasing soon on all formats, bringing stability fixes and other improvements.

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.
