PS5 Corrupted Save Bug Fix

PS5 players were experiencing corrupted saves due to the limited file size limits on Playstation versions of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. Patch 2.01 has fixed the issue, preventing the occurence of corrupted autosaves for future playthroughs.

Note: This change is not retroactive. Unfortunately, the Patch 2.01 PS5 save fix will not apply to autosaves made before the update dropped.

Bug Fixes for Phantom Liberty Quests

Being the first patch after the launch of the DLC, Patch 2.01 also brings with it the first round of bug fixes for Phantom Liberty specific quests. This includes fixes for DLC endgame missions like Firestarter, The Killing Moon, and Somewhat Damaged.

Arm Cyberware Can Now be Cycled To

Given the commitment of Update 2.0 and Phantom Liberty to deliver more combat options for cyberware, it is only fair that players should be able to quickly bring them out to use at a moment's notice.

Patch 2.01 delivers on that front by shipping a quality-of-life update which treats your equipped arm cyberware (like Gorilla Arms and Mantis Blades) like a weapon in your weapon wheel. This allows players (particularly those on controller) to quickly cycle to them during combat!
