Cyberpunk 2077 Patch Fixes a Ton of Bugs Ahead of Phantom Liberty

CD Projekt has released another patch for Cyberpunk 2077 that addresses a ton of bugs on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC.


Outlined on the game's website, patch 1.63 addresses several dozen issues still present in the game including bugs that stopped progression, text that appeared the wrong way in mirrors, misbehaving photo mode filters, and more.

The Xbox version of Cyberpunk 2077 gets specific changes of its own too. An issue that affected Xbox Series performance after playing for an extended period of time has now been addressed, and CD Projekt has changed the number of available save slots to 20 for manual saves and 10 for Point of No Return saves. The full patch notes can be seen below.

These changes come ahead of Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty expansion, which is set to revamp a ton of features in the base game (alongside what will presumably be patch 1.7).

Vehicular combat, a Cyberpunk: Edgerunners inspired cyberpsychosis feature, and a clever nod to The Witcher are coming too, though at the cost of upping the game's PC requirements.
