Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.2 Brings a Host of Fixes, Improvements for PC and Consoles

Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.2 is finally out for PC and consoles. This is the second major patch that developer CD Projekt Red has released for the game — the first one was released late in January.

Now, the latest patch is out and fixes a lot of the bugs that were present in Cyberpunk 2077. There are gameplay improvements, quest changes, open world fixes, cinematic design changes, environment and level fixes, and a lot more.
