Cyberpunk 2077 News

CDPR wanted to split players 'in a way that's almost 50/50' with Phantom Liberty's hardest choice, and drew on the toughest decision in Witcher 2 to do it

Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty expansion was great—87% great per PCG's Ted Litchfield in his Phantom Liberty review—and gruelling. CD Projekt Red is no stranger to tough decisions in its games, but the fork in Phantom Liberty's road is a truly tough one. And hey, CDPR says that was the whole point, and one that built off the studio's other great Sophie's choice moment: Choosing who you'll side with in The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings.

Putting the roleplay back in the RPG was a huge reason for Cyberpunk 2077's recent metro and romance updates, says associate game director: 'It's easy to overlook'

Cyberpunk 2077's latest PC update messes with some of its most important mods in the name of misbehaving mice

So, there’s been a fresh Cyberpunk 2077 update issued by CD Projekt. It’s pretty tiny and only affected the PC version of the game, but unfortunately it’s been made noteworthy for one reason. It’s messed with a lot of people’s load orders by necessitating updates to some of the game’s most widely used mods.

Updates messing with mods is just a fact of life, and things should be back to normal pretty quickly. It is, however, a bit funny that this has happened over misbehaving mouse buttons.

So, what’s happened? Well, CD Projekt support tweeted that the studio’s released a PC-only update for Cyberpunk today. “It fixes the crash that occurred when actions were assigned to side buttons on Razer mice,” the studio revealed, adding: “The update won't change the version of the game visible in the main menu but it could affect mods.”

You'll soon be able to play GOG games away from your PC through Amazon Luna

While cloud gaming is very much not at a point where I want it to be the main way I play games, if I ever will, I do appreciate having the convenience as an option. Being able to play a game away from my PC can be handy. So it's neat that GOG have announced they're teaming up with Amazon to make select GOG games playable through the Amazon Luna cloud gaming platform "soon". Sure, I might be tempted to take a nice stroll through Night City while slouching about with my laptop that absolutely cannot run Cyberpunk 2077.
