Cyberpunk 2077 1.52 update patch notes have been released

Cyberpunk 2077 has released the new 1.52 patch into the game on March 22nd, 2022! This update brings a variety of bug fixes, but unfortunately not much in the way of new content. The patch is just on the heels of the recent announcement of a new entry into the Witcher Saga starting development. It was also announced that the Cyberpunk 2077 expansion would continue using REDengine technology, rather than Unreal Engine 5, which the new Witcher game will be using. You can find all of the fixes that were made in this patch below!
