Cyberpunk 2077 receives a new hotfix (1.22)

After the recent announcement of the units sold only in December, the team behind Cyberpunk 2077 continues to deliver updates and patches in order to fix a game that didn't release in the best way possible.

On this occasion, Hotfix 1.22 features several solutions to different quests bugs that prevented the player from completing them. Also, there are many improvements regarding memory management, which help with the game's optimization and performance.

The update is already available on all platforms. Below are the official patch notes:

Quests & Open World

• The Metro: Memorial Park dataterm should now properly count towards the Frequent Flyer achievement.
• Fixed glitches in Johnny's appearance occurring after buying the Nomad car from Lana.
• Fixed an issue in Gig: Until Death Do Us Part where it was not possible to use the elevator.
• Fixed an issue in Epistrophy where the player could get trapped in the garage if they didn't follow the drone and ran into the control room instead.
• Added a retrofix for the issue we fixed in 1.21, where Takemura could get stuck in Japantown Docks in Down on the Street - for players who already experienced it before update 1.21 and continued playing until 1.22, Takemura will now teleport to Wakako's parlor.
