These include memory handling optimizations on Xbox, solutions to rendering issues on PlayStation 4, as well as fixes for “multiple issues with random game freezes."

This particular patch was originally expected back in February 2021, but was delayed following a ransomware attack that struck the company when an unidentified actor gained access to the company's network and collected restricted data.
The cyberattack came shortly after CD Projekt Red released the first patch in January 2021, which ironically introduced a game-breaking bug to the game's main questline.
Overall, Cyberpunk 2077 has been branded a "disaster," having been plagued with crashes and various bugs since launch. This, considering the fact that the developers had originally delayed the game's release for eight months, highlighted that more time was needed in order to publish a full game.
Following a catastrophic launch, tirade of refunds and criticism from fans, CD Project RED issued an apology, announcing a timeline of patch updates and free DLC for gamers to expect up until 2022. Although the developers did not specify how many DLCs players can expect, a dataminer called PricklyAssassin recently uncovered that CD Projekt RED is planning to release 10 DLCs, according to information obtained through the game's Epic Games Store page.
While we're waiting for Cyberpunk 2077's second patch to arrive, feel free to take a look at some of the best PC games that won't crash your system.
