Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.2 Delayed Following Malware Attack
Follow Us
It seems like CD Projekt RED can’t catch a break with Cyberpunk 2077. After becoming one of the most hyped games pre-launch, it eventually turned out to be the developer’s biggest nightmare. After a horrible launch that saw the game release with glitches, bugs and frame rate issues, it eventually became unplayable for a lot of players.
This led to the company losing a lot of trust that it had built with its very loyal fanbase. CDPR lost a lot of their reputation, market value, and even saw a lawsuit being filed against them. But things were finally taking a turn for them when disaster struck again.
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

With their first major update in Patch 1.1, it looked like CD Projekt RED were making some strides in improving the game. Their first success arrived with Patch 1.1 which fixed a lot of issues.
