Much of the gaming community is aware that Cyberpunk 2077 has had its fair share of frustrating problems over the years, but a previously announced patch aimed at resolving various common issues demonstrates that the developers are committed to honing the game even further following the release of its Phantom Liberty DLC and massive 2.0 update.
While Cyberpunk 2077 has undergone significant improvements in the last year, several unresolved bugs arising from the current 2.1 update have been affecting a large number of players in recent weeks.
While Cyberpunk became infamous almost immediately after its release due to its numerous technical issues and turbulent launch period, the development team’s continued care and dedication over the years has almost completely transformed public opinion of the game, and for good reason.
While Cyberpunk 2077 has gotten a regular stream of new material, features, and fixes since its release in 2020, the most recent 2.0 update significantly revamped many aspects of the game, including combat and skill growth.
With its Phantom Liberty addition, Cyberpunk has recently seen a significant increase in player count, with both old fans and newcomers taking to the streets of Night City.
Cyberpunk 2077 Upcoming Update
However, with the game’s 2.1 update, gamers on all platforms have been experiencing issues that prevent the various distinct finisher animations from playing. Thankfully, a new patch for Cyberpunk revealed earlier this month indicated that the issue is now being investigated by the development team and will be repaired, along with many other issues, when the update is released.
⚙️ We are aiming to have a new patch for #Cyberpunk2077 out sometime next week. It will tackle the most common issues reported by players, including finisher animations.
Stay tuned for more info coming after the weekend.

Many fans have been waiting for a remedy to this flaw since it was first reported several months ago, so this comes as welcome news. Though Cyberpunk has always provided an impressively diverse range of methods for dealing with enemy corporate agents and rival gang members, the 2.0 update’s overhaul of skills and abilities has opened up even more ways to play and deal with bad guys.
Melee enthusiasts can gain perks that allow them to use animated finishers on adversaries with knives, blades, or blunt weapons. While the useful self-healing function of these finishers remains intact, the problem impacting finisher animations detracts from the feature’s pleasure.
