A newCyberpunk 2077update could be coming in the near future. WhileCyberpunk 2077had one of the most infamous launches in recent gaming history thanks to a multitude of game-breaking bugs and glitches, CD Projekt Red has since addressed several of the game’s worst issues in a series of patches over the past couple of years. The most prominent of these wasCyberpunk 2077’s update onto the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, which brought aspiring mercenary V and their gritty quest to make a name for themselves in the brutal Night City to current hardware last February.
There have been several other patches since theblockbusterCyberpunk 2077Update 1.5, though these have been much smaller in scope. Nonetheless, last March’sCyberpunk 2077Update 1.52 patch addressed several bugs that prevented players from progressing in certain questlines. Additionally, last September’s Update 1.6 added cosmetic items and lore additions from the successfulCyberpunk EdgerunnersNetflix anime - which has caused an uptick in players that have experienced the many improvements made toCyberpunk 2077since its troubled launch in 2020.

Now, yet another update patch could be coming toCyberpunk 2077soon. Reddit user ticidavis shared a screenshot ofCyberpunk 2077’s Steam QA branchearlier this week, and it has apparently been updated to include three new internal developer branches. While there currently isn’t much else to go on, fans are already speculating that the nextCyberpunk 2077update patch could be nearing the final stages of development and could be released sometime soon.
If this screenshot leak is indeed a sign of aCyberpunk 2077patch, it could be connected to the previously announcedPhantom LibertyDLC expansion. Announced as the first and only batch of new story content forCyberpunk 2077in December,Phantom Libertywill take V to a new section of Night City for a high-tech mystery involving the New United States of America government. Hollywood mega-star Idris Elba will lend his likeness and voice to a new character named Solomon Reed, a secret agent who may or may not be an unlikely ally to V and Johnny Silverhand in their latest adventure.
Cyberpunk 2077’s updated Steam QA branch could mean anything, but it is most likely a sign of a new update for the game ahead ofPhantom Liberty’s release later this year. Whether this update is a large-scale fix on par with Update 1.5 or something more minor remains to be seen, but it is certainly an exciting time for fans who have stuck withCyberpunk 2077through its many hurdles and bug fixes for nearly three years.
Cyberpunk 2077is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
