Cyberpunk 2077 hotfix 1.04 patch notes: Quest and gameplay fixes, improved stability, more

Cyberpunk 2077 release has been followed by a myriad of issues that have been plaguing the game since.

The game seems like it should have been delayed for at least a few more months for all bugs, glitches and crashes to be fixed.

Hopefully, the developer will continue to improve the game in the coming months and eventually we will get a complete and proper experience. 
Because, behind all those problems, there is a huge world rich with beautiful locations, interesting characters and stories waiting to be told.

And it seems that work on fixing the game has already started.

CD Projekt RED has just released the first post-launch hotfix for the game, and we hope that this just one of many to come in the coming weeks.

Cyberpunk 2077 hotfix will fix numerous Quest issues where quests were not working properly.

It will also fix the preview in weapon crafting and will improve the overall stability of the game.

The hotfix is now live for PC and PlayStation, and it will come to Xbox "as soon as possible".
