As promised earlier today, CD Projekt has posted the notes for Cyberpunk 2077's big patch 1.3.

Coming to PC, consoles, and Stadia "soon," the patch notes for Cyberpunk 2077 outline the most significant changes.

You will notice a bit of free DLC will be included with patch 1.3, which consists of an alternate appearance for Johnny Silverhand, a multilayered syn-leather deltajock jacket and luminescent punk jacket, and the Archer Quartz Bandit vehicle which can be purchased in-game after completing the Ghost Town quest.

Along with DLC, you can expect some improvements, such as the aforementioned minimap zoom level, which makes things easier to navigate.

The developers have also improved the Screen Space Reflections effect so that it looks less grainy on consoles and on lower visual settings qualities on the PC; increased the number of slots for autosaves from 10 to 20; added new sleeping spots for Nibbles in V's apartment; and thankfully, it's now possible to use an elevator while carrying a body. That will make things easier.

A number of balance changes will also be included, along with some fixes such as an issue with the Nomad Camp, hacking a neutral target, and V looking down after using fast travel.

Various issues with elevators have been addressed, minor issues with cyberware have been fixed, quick hacks and scanning have been given the once over, NPC behavior has been improved in combat, and the functionality of some mods has been adjusted.

Stability has also been addressed as far as performance, streaming, and memory optimization is concerned, and numerous crash fixes have been applied.

Also, a plethora of quests and gigs have had a loving hand brushed upon them, and some console-specific issues have been squashed. For example, PlayStation users will be pleased to know that NPCs will no longer speak after being killed. That's a relief.

The patch notes are rather extensive and can be found at the link, but we've posted some of the talking points below.
