As per the aforementioned post on X (previously Twitter), the developers are looking forward to releasing a new update for the title next week, which will “tackle the most common issues reported by players, including finisher animations.” It’s been said that additional information about the update will follow after the weekend, so stay gripped until CDPR has more to share.

On a side note, the Phantom Liberty expansion has done remarkably well for the Poland-based CDPR, reigniting the studio’s spirits after the base game launched to a terrible start. Just over three weeks ago, the developer confirmed that the DLC has sold over 5 million copies to date, with Cyberpunk 2077 itself rolling over a total of 25 million units over the course of its release.

Of course, back when Cyberpunk 2077 was released first, though, most gaming outlets were quick to point out the sheer mess it was in. Those include eXputer, which rated it 3/5 in its review back in the day, highlighting its completely broken AI, a ridiculous amount of bugs and glitches, lifeless in-game world, and lack of optimization. Slowly but surely, most of the complaints people had about the title are long gone.
