CD Projekt Red Delays The 'Cyberpunk 2077' 1.2 Patch Until March

The developer blames the fallout from its recent hack.

You’ll need to stand by until the second 50% of March for the following enormous Cyberpunk 2077 fix, CD Projekt Red declared on Twitter today. The developer refers to its new ransomware hack as the significant guilty party — it initially wanted to dispatch the 1.2 fixes in February. While I’m certain the news baffles a lot of gamers, this issue is outside of the studio’s control.

While we dearly wanted to deliver Patch 1.2 for Cyberpunk 2077 in the timespan we detailed previously, the recent cyber attack on the studio’s IT infrastructure and extensive scope of the update mean this unfortunately will not happen — we’ll need some additional time. 1/3

Managing the aftermath of a huge hack is already extreme, doing so while attempting to fix one of the greatest imaginative disappointments in gaming history appears to be unthinkable without compelling developers to crunch considerably further. The studio says you can anticipate “various in general quality upgrades and fixes” when the 1.2 update shows up.

CD Projekt Red reported that it had been hacked recently, and at the time said it wouldn’t arrange or take care of the programmers. Thus, it anticipates that some confidential information should, in the end, spill out.

The postponement hits PlayStation 5 owners especially hard, as Sony hasn’t permitted the game to return to the PlayStation Store. That will not occur until Cyberpunk 2077 is fit as a fiddle.
