With all the issues CD Projekt's faced with Cyberpunk 2077, it's not surprising that people haven't paid attention to the new content for the game. Engadget points out that its initial free downloadable content is expected to hit Night City "early 2021" and that the webpage announcing this schedule went live around the same time the game launched. And it still hasn't been taken down.

The developer still has two patches it needs to roll out for last-generation console issues, which it promised to ship in January and February. CD Projekt also has tech upgrades for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S, but it hasn't revealed a release date yet. The developer promised a DLC rollout similar to The Witcher 3, which had 16 free DLC that came out shortly after the game's launch with additions like cosmetic upgrades, new animations, and small quest lines. If you're waiting for multiplayer mode, that's still expected beyond 2021.

CD Projekt gets sued by investor over buggy 'Cyberpunk 2077'

Gamers aren't the only ones angered by the many issues of the highly-anticipated game, Cyberpunk 2077. An investor in the game filed a lawsuit against developer CD Projekt, claiming it misled investors about the game's performance ahead of its release, which caused a significant stock price drop and losses. According to the lawsuit, the company allegedly failed to disclose that the game was "virtually unplayable." Instead, it marketed the title as a success with some issues players won't notice. Andrew Trampe, the plaintiff, is looking to include other investors in the lawsuit to turn it into a class-action suit.

New 'Cyberpunk 2077' patch remedies save file limits on PC, console crashes

Another day, another Cyberpunk 2077 patch. This 1.06 hotfix is coming to the PC and consoles (no word on its Stadia rollout yet). The critical update is for the PC where saved files get corrupted if the file exceeds 8MB, which means you lose your in-game progress. The consoles receive improved memory management, reducing crashes, especially on the memory-limited PS4 and Xbox One systems. The update is under 1GB on the PC and around 15GB to 17GB on the Xbox and PlayStation.

CD Projekt Red vows to fix 'Cyberpunk 2077' issues on older-gen consoles

Cyberpunk 2077 is less than a week old, but it's facing heavy criticism, particularly its performance on older-generation consoles. Sony and Microsoft are allowing owners to refund their copies. CD Projekt Red (CDPR) also says gamers can return their boxed copies at the stores they originally bought these from. The issues range from graphical problems to glitches that make it impossible for players to complete quests. CDPR had to issue a hotfix to get rid of the worst problems. 

The developer issued a new statement, apologizing for "not showing the game on base last-gen consoles" before its release. And it promises to release a series of updates in the coming months to bring the game up to parity with the next-generation and PC versions.
