Cyberpunk 2077 hotfix 1.04 patch notes: Performance and stability fixes for PS4 and PC

After a near nine-year wait, Cyberpunk 2077 finally launched on 10th December.

Fans were dismayed to find that even after a hefty day-one patch, the game was still quite buggy and unplayable. While Cyberpunk 2077’s scale and depth are impressive, its technical hiccups are proving to be quite the hurdle for developer CDPR, as evidenced by its share prices dropping nearly 30 percent post launch.

On a positive note, the devs seem to be very active in their attempts to iron out all the bugs in Cyberpunk 2077. They have dropped a hotfix to fix a slew of issues, and here’s hotfix 1.04’s complete changelog and patch notes.
