The next-gen update forCyberpunk 2077arrived this past week, finally bringing the first-person RPG to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Alongside the next-gen releases, CD Projekt Red deliveredCyberpunk 2077’s 1.5 update as well. Patch 1.5 delivered a range of much-needed changes toCyberpunk 2077. It delivered so many changes, in fact, that CD Projekt Red didn’t even bother to list them all in its patch notes. Now,Cyberpunk 2077players are collating the unlisted changes they’ve discovered in one long list.
The list is currently being made on the mainCyberpunk 2077subreddit. A majority of the changes listed are minor and understandably absent fromCD Projekt Red’s official patchnotes. However, there are a few significant changes worth calling attention to that have somehow been ignored by CD Projekt Red - changes that may make gamers question whether CD Projekt Red might have been trollingCyberpunk 2077players by leaving them off the patch notes list.

Perhaps the biggest notable change is thatcritical hit chancehas been significantly nerfed. The 100% critical hit chance build was a popular option amongCyberpunk 2077players, but that build now seems to be impossible. Instead, it’ll be a challenge to even get close. Additionally, enemies that are quick-moving are now significantly better at dodging certain heavy weapons like shotguns. This seems like a conscious decision to try and encourage players to try other weapon types, potentially left unmentioned to avoid player frustration.
Other changes are minor and relatively unimportant in the grand scheme of improvements toCyberpunk 2077, explaining their absence from the official patch notes. For example, grenades no longer have weight, someCyberpunk 2077weaponsnow require above 10 Body to be used optimally, and other various changes that most players will likely never run into or acknowledge.
Some changes being listed byCyberpunk 2077players on Reddit are actually just new bugs that they’ve found. Players have had issues with looking at the world map, the randomLegendary gearmodifications, and kids playing with guns. That’s the problem with changes being left off the official patch notes - it’s impossible to tell if it’s an intentional change or something done unintentionally.
It just goes to show that the 1.5 patch forCyberpunk 2077is substantial. It’s so big that it got away from CD Projekt Red, and certain changes were seemingly left off the patch notes. That’s perhaps still emblematic of the problem that led toCyberpunk 2077’s frustrating launch, but regardless, it’s better that CD Projekt Red is making changes than not.
Cyberpunk 2077is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
