Nothing like logging on to play a game and being slapped with a 3-hour wait time while the update installs. CD Project Red rolled out another patch just days after hotfix 1.05 was released.
The current update resolves the issues of large saved files becoming corrupted. That means no more anxiety when you hit the save button. Unfortunately, this patch won’t fix save files corrupted before the update.
Cyberpunk 1.06: Corrupted saved files be gone
After Hotfix 1.05 was released, gamers reported that large saved files exceeding 8MB became corrupted. This was a major thorn in the side for gamers who had already spent hours on their quest.
CD Project Red also promises that console players would experience less crashes going forward. Personally, I was fine until Act 2. From there, the game would crash every time I pushed Jackie’s ARCH too hard.
While not the worst issue – compared to what other players had to deal with on base consoles – it was annoying as heck. Hopefully, that would now be a thing of the past.
Watch: Cyberpunk 1.06 hotfix
Cyberpunk 2077 hotfix 1.06 is already available on PC and console. Here’s a breakdown of the updates as received from CD Projekt Red. The patch is approximately 16.8 GB on PlayStation.
Apart from the corrupted saved files, it also fixes a specific quest issue and improves stability for console players, so PS4 and Xbox owners should see less crashes after installing this update.

CD Projekt Red loses big
Cyberpunk 2077’s post-launch issues have cost CD Projekt Red billions since the game (one of the most expensive ever created) was unleashed on the public, if the company’s stock figures are anything to go by.
The dystopian-themed Cyberpunk 2077 triggered a backlash from gamers who complained it was riddled with bugs, performed poorly on standard consoles and even risked triggering epileptic seizures.
CD Projekt Red plunged 15.6 percent in early trading on the Warsaw Stock Exchange (WSE) before starting to inch back up. It’s stock value sank to 32.3 billion zloty ($8.8 billion), down from 42.7 billion from the week prior to Cyberpunk 2077’s launch.
