As for future predictions, my bet is that currently CDPR are working on the next-gen update for Xbox Series S/X and PS5 and are targeting the launch of the update for the end of September at the earliest, and late November at the latest to ensure that they can do a huge ad-campaign to drive further sales in line with the Holidays and the PS5 / Xbox Series S/X sales. The update would benefit from being launched early November so they can stabilize the new build before people get it in their hands post x-mas.
I think it is difficult to make any kind of predictions currently, but I still think that the next update - whatever it will be - is around the corner. Otherwise, the QA repository wouldn't have been updated that frequently.
The reason why we've not seen any of the free DLC's is that they might be tied to engine specific changes and enhancements.
It is also possible that they would hold already finished ones back to avoid getting negative press. People would probably not react positively on them releasing a DLC while the game is still allegedly broken.
If it's like the 1.2, it's a "big one" for me
(If it wasn't, it would probably be a patch 1.24)
CDPR has been a bit weird when it comes to the naming terminology of their patches, so that's a bit difficult to predict. However, given they've now spent a significant amount of time - the longest actually - on this update I also think that it will be a larger one. That being said, CDPR did neither say nor hint anything in this regard.
Not so sure it will even matter soon tbh. Yea next gen patch will probably bring in some players that already hade the game on ps4 and so on and i bet the current players will skyrocket for while but without new content or big changes in some way it will probably be very short term and i dont think sales will increase that much.
Yes, but this is just the "issue" with non-service, single player games. People stop playing them once they are finished. When new content has been released players will return and then drop the game again. I would like to point out though, that I prefer CP2077 the way it is and I wouldn't have wanted an online game or a service game.
Im the geek gamer in work/friends and most ppl seem to ask me about whats new and if that game is fun. So far ive been very causius about recomending this game since its not that great of a game imo. The bashing they took and the current reputation is a big problem when it comes to goodwill, so far ive not seen anything too help with that... Im the one who said "it will be alright" after the 3 delay CDPR wont mess it up. Hehe yea will take some time untill that trust gets rebuilt ^^
On this point we disagree, for me CP2077 is one of the best games since 2015. (Spoiler Alert: Witcher 3 was released in 2015.) Thus, I also recommend it to friends to a certain degree, since it always depends on personal preferences and you should also manage expectations. The only thing I add is that if they intend to only play it once and then drop it, then they should wait for the expansions. Likewise, if they have time they should wait for the odd patch, but this holds true for each and every game.
As a result, CDPR didn't lose any trust from my side although I acknowledge that the game had/has its issues when it comes to bugs.
