Even after several years of updates and an excellent expansion,Cyberpunk 2077still isn’t bug-free. I said as much in myPhantom Liberty review. The difference now versus launch back in 2020 is that the bugs are now within acceptable limits.
CDPR continue to fix them, too. Patch 2.02 is out now.
Thefull patch notesare pretty extensive. The Phantom Liberty-specific fixes include several for rare, progress-blocking glitches, but the best of the bunch is up top: “Rebalanced the time limits for Vehicle Contracts.” Dogtown features several vehicles you can steal and drive to drop-off points around Night City, but even driving perfectly I struggled to do them within the time limit and had to live with reduced payment and a snide comment from the infinitely punchable Muamar.
There are also dozens of further fixes for the base game. My favourite of these probably isn’t so signficant: “Giving money to a homeless person will no longer lower your NCPD Wanted Level.”
