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.
Cyberpunk 2077's new Ukrainian translation is full of criticism for Russia's war - now the devs are apologizing for it
26.09.2023 - 16:39 / gamesradar.com / New
Developer CD Projekt Red has apologized to Russian players for a number of anti-Russian messages that were included in the new Ukrainian localization of Cyberpunk 2077.
A brand-new Ukrainian translation for the base game debuted ahead of the Phantom Liberty expansion as part Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 update. Players soon discovered that this localization also added a number of references to Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Rock Paper Shotgun has published some of the most notable examples, including an apparent reference to the "Russian warship, go fuck yourself" line that became infamous in 2022, a new bit of graffiti seemingly criticizing Russia's 2014 occupation of Crimea, and the name for a, er, squatting pose in photo mode being changed to "like a Russian."
The discovery of these messages quickly drew criticism from Russian players on places like the game's official forums. While CD Projekt has not publicly commented on the changes in this Ukrainian localization to English-speaking outlets or players, it has - as PC Gamer notes - apologized on its Russian social media channels and promised to remove the remarks in the game's next update.
"The Ukrainian localization of Cyberpunk 2077 contains several remarks that could offend some Russian players," the studio said (via Google Translate). "These remarks were not written by CD Projekt Red employees and do not represent our views. We are working to fix them and replace them in the next update. We apologize for this situation and are taking steps to ensure it does not happen again."
It's worth noting that CD Projekt has publicly been quite supportive of Ukraine following Russia's invasion of the country. Last year, the company announced a major donation to the Polish Humanitarian Action charity in support of Ukrainian refugees. At the same time, CD Projekt announced that its PC game platform, GOG, would suspend sales in Russia and Belarus, saying that "the entire CD Projekt Group stands firm with the people of Ukraine."
Much of the games industry has rallied to support Ukraine, even including a charity bundle in World of Warcraft just a few months ago.

Cyberpunk 2077 Devs Used AI Tools To Recreate Deceased Voice Actor

It was filled with bugs and poor optimization, which even prompted Sony to remove the game from their digital storefront for a period. However, the studio continued to work through the issues and delivered players with a series of patches to bring the game up to their standards. Now, the latest big update and expansion added a new area and content to take in. With that said, there was one obstacle developers had to figure out, and it was based on a deceased voice actor.

Cyberpunk 2077's 2.01 update gives new meaning to the phrase "performance drop"
CD Projekt have detailed Cyberpunk 2077 2.01, the game's first patch following update 2.0, which implemented a top-to-bottom reset of the once-ailing but at present, rather triumphant sci-fi RPG. According to the provisional changelog, the latest update encompasses general performance improvements and minor fixes plus a fatal bug which sees V falling through an elevator floor to their death when the performance falls too low. Now that's what I call a plunging frame-rate.
