The latest patch, version 2.01, for Cyberpunk 2077 has been released by CD Projekt. This marks the first update since the significant 2.0 patch and the introduction of the Phantom Liberty expansion last month.

Note: this won’t fix the saves corrupted before the update. If you’re experiencing the issue, keep a working save (e.g. resave it as manual save) till 2.01 arrives.
• Performance improvements for both PC and consoles, especially in the Dogtown area.

One of the noteworthy fixes included in this update addresses an issue that had the potential to corrupt save files on the PS5 when playing Phantom Liberty with save files from the base game.

Despite CD Projekt's commitment to resolving ongoing problems in Cyberpunk 2077 through smaller updates like 2.01, Game Director Gabe Amatangelo has made it clear that the studio has no plans to release any further major updates. Instead, they are redirecting their efforts towards other projects, including the sequel to the game.

The next installment in the Cyberpunk universe, Project Orion, is now entering development at a newly established studio in North America, known as CD Projekt Red North America.
