PC players seemed less affected, but console players encountered multiple game-stopping bugs and glitches. Things are even so bad that many are looking into the game’s refund policies. On December 11, 2020, CD Projekt Red released a hotfix that fixes several of the initial bugs found in the game for the PC and PlayStation versions. An Xbox version was released over the following weekend. Here’s a list of all the fixes.

Fixed an issue with completing the final objective in Gig: Freedom of the Press. Fixed an issue with starting conversation with Johnny at the end in Life During Wartime. Corrected a rare issue with NPCs no longer calling V if A Like Supreme quest was abandoned mid-way. Fixed an issue with Nix not going into his default state in Spellbound and KOLD MIRAGE.
