Cyberpunk 2077 Gets 43GB Pre-Launch Patch - and There's Seemingly Another Update Coming

Cyberpunk 2077 has seemingly received a 43 GB pre-launch patch on Xbox, and may well receive another update at launch, according to a tweet from a CD Projekt Red employee. YouTuber DreamcastGuy - who received an Xbox version of the game early due to an apparent retailer error - posted a tweet showing a supposed 43.5 GB patch for Cyberpunk 2077, a sizable pre-launch update. However, it may not be the only patch the game receives. CD Projekt Red's Fabian replied to DreamcastGuy, saying that it's "not the update we'll have for launch", presumably pointing to the 43GB patch being a 'Day Zero' update, with a Day One update to come around launch on December 10.

It’s an update but - fun twist - not the update we’ll have for launch.

It seems likely that the contents of the 43GB patch will be rolled into your initial download/install of the game, rather than seeing you download two separate updates. The game currently weighs in at 70GB on PC, although it's not clear if that's a non-updated version size. The game's preload is now live on GOG, with other platforms following over the next day, so you best get downloading early if you want to have everything prepared for launch.
