CD PROJEKT RED is about to drop a new patch for Cyberpunk 2077, and it’s set to bring an absolutely massive list of changes to the sci-fi RPG. As indicated in the small sample of dizzying patch notes below, Patch 1.3 contains numerous fixes and improvements for various core aspects of the game. These include changes to gameplay, balance, user interface, graphics, audio, and environment and levels.
What might be surprising is that Patch 1.3 also grants a handful of free DLCs. After downloading the patch, players will be able to check out an alternative appearance for Keanu Reeves’ Johnny Silverhand by going into the Settings menu and enabling the option via the “Additional Content” tab. Players will also find two new jackets in V’s apartment (Multilayered Syn-Leather Deltajock Jacket, Luminescent Punk Jacket) and an Archer Quartz “Bandit” item.
CD PROJEKT RED says that Cyberpunk 2077’s Patch 1.3 will be coming to PC, consoles, and Stadia soon. The company also clarified that the new patch actually includes “many more” fixes than what’s listed in the patch notes, although it isn’t clear why it decided to omit anything.
