Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the most controversial AAA releases of the modern era. The game was delayed multiple times and finally released with various bugs still in place. However, CD Projekt Red (CDPR), the developer behind the game, is slowly ironing out everything and with release 1.3 we are in for various fixes and additional game content.

CDPR has unveiled the latest list of changes coming to Cyberpunk 2077 version 1.3. The update is coming to PCs, consoles, and even Google's Stadia cloud gaming service soon.

The game now features performance enhancements in the form of Dynamic Resolution Scaling improvements, which will work to improve framerate consistency, translating into smoother gameplay especially in scenarios where there are lots of elements in the scene like combat.

Cyberpunk 2077 has suffered from lots of bugs and glitches, but those didn't affect all players. There were a few isolated cases, which were fixed with this update. A few improvements to note are the updated minimap's zoom level when driving for easier navigation; higher number of slots for autosaves from 10 to 20 and for quick saves from 3 to 10 across all platforms. Improved Screen Space Reflections for better visuals; possibility to upgrade crafting components in a bulk... and more.

Bug fixes are mostly related to the gameplay itself, where there were some strange NPC behaviours. For example, now NPCs will no longer keep hiding in cover after being flanked; crafting specs from clothing stores were available only during the first visit to a vendor and now it is back to normal; and loot has been rebalanced.

As we already mentioned, CDPR has included a few free DLCs in the update as well. If you head into settings and click the Additional Content tab, you will find a toggle to enable Johnny Silverhand's Alternative Appearance. There is now also an option to get a Multi-layered Syn-Leather Deltajock Jacket and Luminescent Punk Jacket that are stashed in V's apartment and can be unlocked after completing a ride. In addition to these two, Archer Quartz "Bandit" can now be purchased after completing the Ghost Town and receiving a message from Dakota or Rogue.

    So... Is this in a state you can actually play and enjoy in a non-meme kind of way?

    I'll wait for a Steam sale I guess.

    I agree, the base price is just too expensive. Maybe if it goes on sale for like 50% or even 75% off

    Here's hoping they'd pull off a No Man's Sky with this.

    You may have missed out because yesterday, Best Buy was selling the game on the Playstation and Xbox for $10. That only applies if you own a console.

    It'd be great to install the patch, but the GOG version wants me to have about 350GB of free space on the games install drive to let me do it, despite the patch being only about 34 GB.

    I started playing on patch 1.23 and had only 2 crashes through my run. I'm around 2/3 into the game and most of the bugs I have had are just physics related. I'd say the game is probably about a 7-7.5/10 game. Not bad, not great, but good if you go into it not thinking it's a GTA clone.

    Cool as a PC player I never had any issues with the game even the original version so this is a bonus.

    I took advantage of this. I guess Thursday I shall see if it’s worth the $10 plus tax I paid for it. Thankfully I’ve got a Series X so there is a chance it will run decently.

    It's a game in which you can easily spend over 100+ hours in it, but even with some bugs and issues (which are really not many left now with the latest patch), it's still a lot of game time and worth even the normal price.

    So stop complaining like you got robbed for $10 and see that it's not really a bad game at all. It's just not the best game it could have been...

    If you own a modern computer it has been in this state since the beginning. It's the <Mod Edit> last gen consoles that it wouldnt run on.
