The highly awaited patch of Cyberpunk 2077 is only a couple of days away. The developer, CD Projekt, just released a massive list of changes that the upcoming patch will make. Although they didn’t reveal the exact size of the update, it’s probably going to be quite big. After being delayed thanks to the unfortunate hack, CD Projekt revealed that Patch 1.2 will release on every platform "soon."
The update addresses every section of the game including gameplay, audio, performance, quests, and driving. There are more than 500 tweaks and we have mentioned the highlights below.
NCPD Spawn radius has been increased, which means the police won’t spawn right behind you when you commit a crime. It doesn’t radically improve the AI but one step at a time. Ray tracing for AMD graphics cards is now enabled and you just make sure to install the latest drivers. Gorilla Arms damage is enhanced by 20% though you can’t use Gorilla Arms finishers against civilians. Stuck vehicles can now be freed more easily via Left Stick or A/D W/S.
You can bind the same key to open and close a specific panel. Speaking of key binding, the dodge button can now be unbound from the movement key. Check out other important changes arriving with this update below.
