CD Projekt Red has pushed out another hotfix for Cyberpunk 2077, with version 1.22 making a smaller iterative step over the massive update 1.2 released at the end of March. As with Hotfix 1.21, this primarily tackles a bunch of progression blockers and glitches, but does also roll in some stability and optimisation work across various systems.
Of note, there’s a “retrofix” for Takemura getting stuck in Japantown Docks in ‘Down on the Street’. The issue was patched in version 1.21 for those yet to be affected, but this retrofix resolves the issue for those who had already been caught up in it.
Xbox One performance should also be improved with optimisations for GPU and ESRAM usage, while memory management on PS5 has been refined.

CD Projekt recently reported huge profits off the back of Cyberpunk 2077’s release, despite the company’s reputation being dragged through the mud and the high-profile refund policy – in fact, this was only taken up by a small fraction of the 13.7 million people that bought the game. Still, we expect that CDPR’s extensive game update roadmap will continue as they work to retrofit the console releases to improve performance and work on the native PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S versions.
There’s also the fact that the game remains delisted from the PlayStation Store. When will Cyberpunk 2077 be back on the PS Store? Your guess is as good as ours!
