Cyberpunk 2077 2.2 Update Coming Soon, CD Projekt confirms
Seven months after announcing the official end of development for Cyberpunk 2077, and a little over a year as its last major 2.1 release,CD Projekt has revealed that its open-world sci-fi RPG will receive more “cool stuff” in a surprise new update soon.
CD Projekt broke the news on social media, announcing that details of Cyberpunk 2077’s 2.2 update will be discussed in a Twitch and YouTube livestream scheduled for Tuesday, December 10, at 4 PM GMT. while the specifics of this update remain unclear, global community director Marcin Momot has attempted to manage expectations, posting a message addressing common queries.
“A lot of questions about whether PS5 Pro support and NG+ are coming with Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.2,” he wrote. “The answer is no. We do have some other cool stuff in the oven, and we’ll talk about it tomorrow during the stream — we hope you’ll like it too!”
This isn’t the first time CD Projekt has dampened fan hopes for PS5 Pro enhancements. The studio clarified back in November that it had “no plans” to release an update for Sony’s console. If PS5 Pro and New Game Plus are off the table,what else could the 2.2 update entail?
It is likely that the update will primarily focus on fixes and minor quality of life improvements based on issues identified during CD Projekt’s work on Cyberpunk 2077’s Mac port, scheduled for release next year. Given the studio’s current emphasis on developing the new Witcher game, which is now officially in ”full-scale production,” any significant changes in this update seem doubtful.However, more details will be unveiled during the upcoming livestream.
