CD Projekt RED had already warned us that the next update of Cyberpunk 2077 was going to be important, but we did not imagine that it would weigh almost as much as the game itself. It is already available, and this is what it weighs on each platform.
On the morning of March 29, the changes that Cyberpunk 2077 patch 1.2 would implement were made public , which basically fixes a good part of the original mess of CD Projekt RED with this game, with more than 500 aspects that are modified and fixed for that this title begins to look like an end game, and not an unfinished alpha (especially on consoles).
However, we still had to know when they would arrive in particular (because we had to be content with a ‘soon’), and how much they weigh. The surprise has been twofold, since Cyberpunk 2077 patch 1.2 is now available on all platforms where the game has been released, that is, on PS4, Xbox One and PC, with backward compatibility on the new Sony and Microsoft consoles.
However, the ‘other’ novelty has been the weight of said patch, which has far exceeded what we expected, exceeding 40GB in each and every one of the console versions in which Cyberpunk 2077 is available.
Specifically on Xbox Series X the patch is 40.37.GB, and on PS5 43,189 GB. The good news is that this tremendous patch does not double the size of the game, but many files are overwritten and Cyberpunk 2077 continues to have an ‘acceptable’ weight which, for example, in the case of Xbox Series X is placed at 59.3GB, which is still a lot, but it is not even in the TOP 5 of games that occupy the most space on PS5 (although it is in the TOP 10, as you will be able to see in the coming days with a report in which we detail the weight of the games more big of the new consoles).
In the PC version the drama is still high, but these users save almost 10GB of download, being a 33GB patch ‘only’.
A big patch, but necessary
The mess of the original game was great, almost as much as the noise that was produced as a result of how broken Cyberpunk 2077 arrived, and the way CD Projekt RED managed the crisis before it even occurred.
So much so that the Polish developer had to change plans with the game and postpone its expansion forecasts to focus on the basics, fix the game for the initial platforms, without discriminating any, and offer the promised quality.
That is why it will still be necessary to wait also for the specific versions of Xbox Series X and PS5, or for their free DLCs, recently leaked. Let’s not say for the multiplayer aspect of this game, that you will have to arm yourself with patience before you can taste it as it deserves.
Of course, we hope that is when all these news arrive, Cyberpunk 2077 is polished to perfection and there is not a single failure in its performance. It is the minimum for a game that aimed to modern classic, and it would be the way to return to opt for the laurels of said glory in the best possible way.
