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. While the company promised Patch 1.2 will arrive some time in February, a recent cyber-attack delayed its plans. 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.
