Fans of Cyberpunk 2077, brace yourselves for a delightful treat! CD Projekt Red has unveiled a new update patch for the game, dedicated to smoothing out several hiccups related to the game’s extensive questlines and captivating open-world experiences.
Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.63: Refining the Game’s Questlines and Open World
Launched in 2020, Cyberpunk 2077 experienced a rather turbulent inception, but the tireless developers have never stopped their quest for perfection. They’ve been toiling away to rectify an array of bugs and glitches that occasionally marred the gameplay, deploying regular updates over the last two years.

Let’s take a nostalgic trip back to when a significant update coincided with the game’s transition to the contemporary generation of consoles. Fast forward to today, and there are still a few odd snags for the development crew to tackle.
In April, we saw an update aimed at amplifying the game’s PC ray-tracing capabilities through a thrilling Overdrive Mode. As a result of Patch 1.62, players equipped with top-tier gaming rigs were given the chance to challenge Cyberpunk 2077’s graphic boundaries, relishing in the gritty allure of Night City with unparalleled graphical detail. Now, a mere two months later, another update rolls in, concentrating on introducing a range of minor quality-of-life adjustments for every platform the game graces.
Just launched, Patch 1.63 enhances the gameplay for Cyberpunk 2077’s PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S users, offering a plethora of bug fixes. Among the nuisances addressed are an obstinate phone call lingering onscreen, V abruptly flatlining in the “I Walk the Line” quest, and a hiccup leaving V’s journal void of objectives during the “Gimme Danger” subplot. The open-world experience isn’t left behind either, with a fix for Gigs failing to start when V arrives at their locations and a solution for regular subtitles appearing instead of the overheard variant as players saunter past NPCs in Rancho Coronado.
UI Issues Addressed in Cyberpunk 2077’s Patch 1.63
Patch 1.63 doesn’t ignore the game’s user interface issues, tackling the “Enemy hack in progress” alert popping up during money transfer and items becoming useless post map opening. System-specific fixes also make their debut; PC gamers can wave goodbye to launch crashes related to Razer Chroma peripherals, and Xbox Series X/S users see a change in the number of save slots.
This update might signify a brief respite from patch rollouts as the developers shift focus to the much-anticipated Phantom Liberty DLC. As eager gamers await the new story campaign scheduled for a September release, they can immerse themselves in the fresh enhancements provided by Patch 1.63, now available for download across all mainstream gaming platforms.
