Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.01 patch notes have been released, targeting some Phantom Liberty, PC, and Console-specific issues along with some changes to Quests & Open World, Gameplay, and REDmod.
Cyberpunk 2077, initially marred by bugs and user dissatisfaction, saw a significant turnaround with the release of the Phantom Liberty expansion and the subsequent 2.0 update. This revitalized the player base and improved the game’s reputation. Many new players lauded it as one of the best action RPGs in recent memory.
