Cyberpunk 2077’s Final Update Brings Major Overhaul, Officially Ends CD Projekt Red’s Support

After nearly four years of updates, patches, and reinvention, CD Projekt Red has officially closed the chapter on *Cyberpunk 2077* with the release of its final update, patch 2.1. This comprehensive update, released earlier today, brings significant quality-of-life improvements and is being hailed as the definitive experience for the once-troubled sci-fi RPG.

Patch 2.1 introduces long-requested features including a working metro system, improved vehicle AI, enhanced NPC behaviors, and the long-teased ability for players to listen to music while on foot. It also includes an expanded accessibility menu and more robust performance optimizations, especially for next-gen consoles and high-end PCs.

CD Projekt Red confirmed in a statement that patch 2.1 is the final major update for *Cyberpunk 2077*. The studio will now shift its full focus to development of *Orion*, the codename for the next game in the Cyberpunk universe. This update marks the conclusion of what has been one of the most dramatic redemption arcs in recent gaming history.

Launched in December 2020, *Cyberpunk 2077* was plagued with bugs and performance issues, particularly on last-gen consoles, sparking backlash and multiple lawsuits. Since then, CD Projekt Red has systematically addressed its shortcomings through a series of large-scale updates and bug fixes culminating in the critically acclaimed *Phantom Liberty* expansion earlier this year.

“We’ve poured our hearts into Night City, and we’re proud of where we’ve taken it,” said game director Gabe Amatangelo. “Patch 2.1 is our thank-you to the players who stuck by us.”

With over 25 million copies sold globally, *Cyberpunk 2077* has turned its rocky launch story into a case study of recovery and resilience in the modern gaming world. As players download the final patch and revisit Night City one more time, there’s a palpable sense of closure — and curiosity about what’s next for the franchise.

For now, fans can immerse themselves in the most polished version of the game yet, with CDPR leaving *Cyberpunk 2077* as a now-completed masterpiece of sci-fi storytelling and worldbuilding.
