Cyberpunk 2077 won’t receive its major 1.2 update in the right time. The patch will face a delay due to the recent cyber attack on CD Projekt Red, from which a lot of data related to accounting, administration, investor relations, and even source codes have been gathered. CDPR understandingly enough fears the exposure of the sensitive data.
While we dearly wanted to deliver Patch 1.2 for Cyberpunk 2077 in the timespan we detailed previously, the recent cyber attack on the studio’s IT infrastructure and extensive scope of the update mean this unfortunately will not happen — we’ll need some additional time. 1/3

Furthermore, the company discovered that patch 1.2 focuses on quality improvements and bug fixes, and it’s now aiming for a release in the second half of March 2021.
Our goal for Patch 1.2 goes beyond any of our previous updates. We’ve been working on numerous overall quality improvements and fixes, and we still have work to do to make sure that’s what you get. With that in mind, we’re now aiming for release in the second half of March. 2/3

The company has discovered that the only reason for the delay of patch 1.2 is the recent cyber attack on the studio’s IT infrastructure. For that reason, the company would need some additional time, as they’re probably working on finding the culprit. Previously, the company stated it will be working closely with IT forensic specialists to put an end to this incident, while the auction containing all the data has concluded with a purchase.
CD Projekt Red is still working on Cyberpunk 2077, hoping to get the game in a positive stance, putting lots of issues behind.
It’s not the news we enjoy sharing, but we want to make sure we launch this update properly. Stay tuned for more information as the time draws closer. Thank you for your continued patience and support. 3/3
