Cyberpunk 2077 fans will need to wait a little longer for the highly anticipated 2.3 update, as developer CD Projekt Red has announced an unexpected delay. Originally scheduled for June 26, the patch has been postponed indefinitely to ensure quality standards are met. The studio confirmed the update will match the substantial scope of last December’s 2.2 release, though specific details remain under wraps.
In a recent social media post, the team acknowledged the delay, stating they needed additional time to polish the update before release. While no new launch window was provided, CD Projekt Red assured players they would share more information soon. The 2.2 update introduced significant improvements, including expanded vehicle options, enhanced character customization, and hidden surprises for players to uncover, raising expectations for what 2.3 might bring.
Despite initial struggles at launch, Cyberpunk 2077 has become one of the most successful RPGs ever, selling over 30 million copies worldwide. The game’s resurgence was fueled by major updates like 2.0 and the well-received Phantom Liberty expansion. While CD Projekt Red shifts focus to upcoming projects like Cyberpunk 2 and The Witcher 4, the studio continues to support the original game with meaningful content updates.
The recent Nintendo Switch 2 port also proved to be a surprise hit, becoming the console’s best-selling third-party title at launch. With ongoing support and a dedicated fanbase, Cyberpunk 2077 remains a key franchise for the developer, even as new projects take shape behind the scenes. For now, players will have to stay tuned for further news on when update 2.3 will finally arrive.
