Almost two and a half years after the game-changing Phantom Liberty expansion and the monumental Update 2.0, CD Projekt Red has released what many believe to be the final major patches for Cyberpunk 2077 before the studio shifts full development resources to Project Orion (the sequel). On January 23, 2025, the studio dropped a double-header: Update 2.20 followed swiftly by Update 2.21. While not as bombastic as 2.0, these patches refine, repair, and rebalance the game to an unprecedented level of stability. Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.20 2.21 -23.01.2025-
