Cyberpunk 2077’s next update could take up a lot of space

The upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 2.3 update, set to release soon, might need as much storage as a full game, especially on some platforms. While exact sizes aren’t confirmed, past updates give us a clue about what to expect. Players should clear some space on their devices to avoid issues like slow performance or crashes, which can happen when storage is too full.

On PlayStation 5, updates like Patch 1.5 took up 56 GB, while Patch 2.2 needed just 9.6 GB thanks to better file compression. Xbox Series X|S users faced bigger downloads, with Patch 2.1 at 53.7 GB and Patch 2.2 at 36.9 GB, as Xbox often requires re-downloading large game files. For PC players, Steam and GOG versions vary—Patch 1.5 needed a full 70 GB reinstall, while Patch 2.2 was around 20 GB on Steam but up to 43 GB on GOG.

To stay safe, PC users should have 80 GB free, though 30 GB might be enough for the update. Full storage can cause problems like game crashes or corrupted saves, especially on Xbox. While CD Projekt Red hasn’t promised smaller updates, fans are excited about possible new content, like a second DLC, based on recent online buzz. Clear some space and get ready for Night City’s next chapter.
