Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.01 ‘Coming Soon’ With Dogtown Performance Buffs and PS5 Corrupt Save Data Fix
Cyberpunk 2077, the critically acclaimed and often controversial open-world RPG, is set to receive another patch, Patch 2.01, aimed at addressing performance issues and save file corruption problems. This update, coming “soon,” as promised by CD Projekt Red, directly responds to player feedback and concerns following the release of Update 2.0 and its substantial Phantom Liberty expansion.
Performance Enhancements in Dogtown
Players have reported experiencing performance hiccups, including slowdown and pop-ins, particularly within the new Dogtown area introduced with the Phantom Liberty expansion. CD Projekt Red is proactively working to resolve these issues with performance improvements tailored for both PC and console platforms. These enhancements specifically target the Dogtown region, promising a smoother and more responsive experience for players exploring this part of Night City. With these improvements, the much-discussed performance issues in the game should be lessened, allowing for a better experience.
PlayStation 5 Save File Corruption Fix
The patch also tackles a significant concern reported by PlayStation 5 users: corrupted save files. CD Projekt Red has acknowledged this problem and announced a crucial fix. The solution involves increasing the maximum save file size limit, a preventative measure designed to minimize the likelihood of future save corruption. Crucially, while this fix addresses future corruption, existing corrupted saves will not be restored. Players experiencing this issue are encouraged to maintain a backup save, preferably a manually saved copy, until the update is deployed.
Additional Bug Fixes and Improvements
Beyond these core fixes, Patch 2.01 incorporates a range of minor but important adjustments. These improvements address various aspects of gameplay, and include bug fixes touching upon several areas. The update is intended to address several user-reported issues, with the full details given below.
Detailed Patch Notes (2.01)
CD Projekt Red provided a concise list of fixes for Patch 2.01:
- Dialogue Fix: The distorted visual effect triggered by a particular dialogue choice with Johnny at the end of “Automatic Love” will be rectified.
- Heist Fix: The fatal elevator fall in “The Heist,” potentially leading to V’s death when performing the heist at the 42nd floor, will be addressed.
- UI Improvement: Controller input display issues in the UI will be corrected when using a keyboard and mouse.

By proactively addressing recurring issues like save data corruption and performance concerns, especially in the newly-released Dogtown region, CD Projekt Red is demonstrating a commitment to improving the player experience for both current and returning players. While the fixes are targeted, they aim to bolster the overall quality of play, ensuring a more seamless and enjoyable experience for all. The update should lead to a more stable and responsive gameplay for all players, especially for those who own a PlayStation 5.
