News | Modder Adds Working Subway System to Cyberpunk 2077
The modder keanuWheeze has added a working subway system to Cyberpunk 2077.
This mod allows players to use an overhead subway to quickly travel to different locations in the game. You can also look outside during the ride to view Night City.
While fast travel is in the game, the modder has incorporated the subway system into the game to make the idea of fast travel from point A to B more realistic. The Metro City mod is available here. In the gif below you can see what it looks like to travel by metro.
Cyberpunk 2077 is available for PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Google Stadia. In the course of 2022, an upgrade should be released for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S.
News | New patch for Cyberpunk 2077 released
Patch 1.31 has been released for Cyberpunk 2077.
The patch is available on consoles, PC and Stadia. Compared to the big update that came out last month, this one is a bit smaller. However, it contains several adjustments and improvements.
Above all, a number of bugs in gameplay and during missions are fixed. Also, roads now look wet after rainfall – something that didn’t always happen in the game before. Furthermore, the use of the GPU memory on PlayStation consoles is improved.
A complete list of changes made by the patch can be found here.
News | Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer may still be in development
Modders have found mentions of a multiplayer mode in the code of the most recent Cyberpunk 2077 patch.
Tyler McVicker reports in a video that in patch 1.3, modders have found terms like “MultiplayerScanDirectory” and “MultiplayerGymsDirectory.” There were also folders that refer to ‘multi’ and ’test’. This would possibly suggest that the developer is testing a multiplayer mode internally.
It was originally intended that after the release of Cyberpunk 2077, a standalone multiplayer game set in the same virtual world would appear. Earlier this year, however, CD Projekt Red indicated that this was no longer the intention. However, there may still be a multiplayer mode for the game, although nothing has been confirmed yet.
Incidentally, the code also mentioned two expansions, called ‘ep1’ and ‘ep2’, along with about 24 free DLCs.

News | New major Cyberpunk 2077 patch postponed
Patch 1.2 voor Cyberpunk 2077 is uitgesteld naar de tweede helft van maart.
The patch should have been released soon, but CD Projekt Red has announced via Twitter that it needs a little more time for the patch. The developer dedicates that to the recent hack on the studio.
“We were keen to release patch 1.2 in the timeframe we indicated first, but the recent cyberattack on the studio’s IT infrastructure and the massive scale of the update means this isn’t going to happen – we need a little more time.”
Bloomberg sheds more light on the postponement. According to a report from the website, several CD Projekt Red employees have been unable to access their workstation for two weeks because of the hack.
While we dearly wanted to deliver Patch 1.2 for Cyberpunk 2077 in the timespan we detailed previously, the recent cyber attack on the studio’s IT infrastructure and extensive scope of the update mean this unfortunately will not happen — we’ll need some additional time. 1/3

Patch 1.2 moet groter worden dan de in januari uitgebrachte patch 1.1. Het is nog niet bekend wat er precies wordt veranderd met de patch, maar hoogstwaarschijnlijk moeten er diverse bugs mee opgelost worden. Patch 1.1 deed dat ook al, maar voegde per ongeluk ook een nieuwe bug toe.
News | Free dlc for Cyberpunk 2077 will be released early next year
The first free downloadable content for Cyberpunk 2077 should be released early next year.
An official website for the game’s DLC has been launched, stating that the free DLC should be released in early 2021. Further details are not known, so it is not clear what exactly the downloadable content includes.
Developer CD Projekt Red previously indicated that it planned to release about the same amount of DLC as for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. That game got two major paid add-ons and sixteen minor free downloads.
There were many bugs in Cyberpunk 2077 at launch. Especially the version on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 did not run properly, the game was even pulled from the PlayStation Store. CD Projekt has promised to release major updates for PS4 and Xbox One early next year, so that the game should run better on the systems. Apparently this did not affect the plans for the free DLC.
In addition to the paid and free downloadable content, a multiplayer mode should also come to Cyberpunk 2077. It is not yet known when this will appear.
News | New Cyberpunk 2077 hotfix fixes savebug
CD Projekt Red has released a new patch for Cyberpunk 2077 that fixes a savebug.
Hotfix 1.06 is now available on PC and consoles. The biggest change the patch makes is that it gets rid of a recently discovered savebug on PC. CD Project Red had previously set that save files should not be larger than 8 MB. As soon as this was overcome, for example by collecting lots of items and crafting materials, or by using a publication glitch frequently, the save file became corrupt and could never be used again.
Thanks to the patch, the limit has now been increased, so this should no longer occur. However, the patch cannot recover the savefiles that have become corrupted by this problem.
Hotfix 1.06 is available on PC and consoles!
