CD Projekt Red announced that it will delay the 1.2 update of its Cyberpunk 2077 video game, with which it sought to solve several of the game’s technical problems since its launch, due to the recent ransomware cyber attack that stole and exposed data from the study.

With the release of Cyberpunk 2077, players of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions of the game reported major technical bugs, and so the company had promised two major patches to correct the “most prominent issues” of the game. The first was already launched in January and the second was scheduled for February.

“Although we wanted to deliver patch 1.2 for Cyberpunk 2077 in the time frame we detailed, the recent cyberattack on the studio’s IT infrastructure and the extensive scope of the update mean that this will unfortunately not happen; we will need some additional time”, highlighted the Polish study in a statement.

CD Porjekt refers to the study’s ransomware cyberattack this month that hacked data on the company’s internal network. Cybercriminals accessed the source code for Cyberpunk 2077 and other games like The Witcher 3, auctioning it off for millions of dollars as the studio refused to pay a ransom.

In this way, update 1.2 originally planned for this month of February will be delayed until the second half of March. The developer has assured that this patch “will go beyond the previous updates” and works to incorporate “numerous improvements of the general quality and fixes of errors.”

CD Projekt Red is facing the payment of a fine for the bugs and problems with which Cyberpunk 2077 was released for game consoles, as well as compensation to users for the inconvenience caused.

The Office of Competition and Consumer Protection (UOKiK) of Poland, the country of origin of the development study, has taken an interest in the complaints of the players regarding the CD Projekt Red game and announced that it will monitor the resolution of the problems.

Specifically, and as explained by the Polish media Dziennik, the Office will check the work of the studio in solving the problems and introducing patches for the bugs in game consoles. They will also monitor CD Projekt Red’s attention to complaints from dissatisfied users, as noted by a spokesperson.

At the extreme, the Office could fine CD Projekt Red with the payment of up to 10% of the income obtained last year, in addition to compensation to the affected users.

The video game, one of the most anticipated of the past year, was released on December 10 for video consoles and PCs, although its performance, especially on PS4 and Xbox One, has been the subject of complaints from players. This led the development studio to announce several patches and two major fixes that will arrive in the coming months with which to improve the experiences.
