New Cyberpunk 2077 Patch Gives Everyone In Night City An Umbrella

Cyberpunk 2077 received some substantial upgrades this year, but CD Projekt Red isn’t done patching up its massive sandbox just yet. Patch 1.61 has been announced for PC, console, and Stadia, and will see the game tweaked in numerous departments. Several fixes for multiple missions will be added, as a number of these “Gigs” had issues where elements weren’t being properly triggered inside of the game.

Some quests also saw progress blocked by random bugs, and you can expect a few fixes for Cyberpsycho sightings as well. Visually, you’ll see Night City residents carrying umbrellas, various floating items will rediscover the pull of gravity, and a bug related to missing collisions won’t make you fall through the map.

As for gameplay, it’ll be possible to craft a legendary variant of the Amnesty Iconic revolver, clothing bonuses related to Quickhack cooldowns and crit damage will start working, and weapons will be able to deal more explosive damage. For platform-specific fixes, CDPR has fine-tuned Xbox One cross-platform saves so that they’ll transfer properly to PS4 and PC, addressed a PC issue with temporary frame rate drops when exiting menus, and Stadia players can now pause the game…for the few months that the streaming service is still around for, that is.

Cyberpunk 2077 has seen a huge resurgence in popularity as of late, driven by multiple factors. The popular Netflix anime series Cyberpunk Edgerunners, the announcement of the Phantom Liberty expansion, and big discounts on the game have seen millions of people visit Night City every day, paving the way for a Cyberpunk sequel that is officially in development. Development is moving from Poland to a new studio in the US, with the core Cyberpunk 2077 team relocating to Boston to work on the sequel.
