When Cyberpunk 2077 came out in a buggy state, CD Projekt Red announced that it would release updates/patches until the game recovers and reaches a good level. The company continues to fix the problems with the latest 1.23 patch as well as minor patches.
Cyberpunk 2077 debuted on 10 December 2020 in an problematic state, which did not satisfy a lot of people. CD Projekt also been struggling with litigation charges, hacking incidents, and refunds. Furthermore; they said that by the end of the 2021 the game would reach a level they can be proud of. The situation is bad especially on older PlayStation and Xbox consoles. CD Projekt Red published 4 patches in the last 3 months to fix some of the issues.
Here is the details of Cyberpunk 2077’s patch 1.23
Minor and Major Patches
CD Projekt Red just published 4 patches in the last 3 months to fix the problems of the game. So can we say that these minor and major patches help to fix the problems on PC side? We can say that for the PC side “Yes”. Because almost invisible errors have decreased almost to the point where there are no, and the performance of the game is close to the desired level. Of course, there are occasional errors especially in missions, but they are not capable of playing the game. Unfortunately, we can’t say the same things for the Console Side. Next-Gen Consoles better than the old ones but especially for PlayStation 4 is in a quite bad situation.

Patch 1.23 published on June 17, focused on eliminating some quest related and open world bugs.
