Bollywood: Cyberpunk 2077 Patch May Have Made Rainy Weather More Common

Night City, the setting of Cyberpunk 2077, might be in for some rainier weather thanks to its most recent patch. The troubled futuristic RPG has been receiving plenty of downloadable updates courtesy of developer CD Projekt Red, most of which aim to remedy the many bugs and glitches Cyberpunk 2077 suffered from at launch. Indeed, Cyberpunk 2077 had more than its fair share of technical issues when it was finally released late last year, to the point where online retailers offered Cyberpunk 2077 players refunds for their broken games.

CD Projekt Red hasn't given up on their long-in-development adaptation of the Cyberpunk franchise yet though, setting up a roadmap for a steady stream of updates and fixes that have brought the game to a more stable condition over the past few months. The most recent Cyberpunk 2077 patch, Hotfix 1.21, remedies some problems with a few of the game's sidequests among other things. Some players are discovering a more cosmetic alteration, one that might leave net-running antihero V reaching for an umbrella to go with their cybernetics.

Reddit user pablo397 noticed an increase of rain in Cyberpunk 2077 since downloading the Hotfix 1.21 patch and posted a video of this to the Cyberpunk 2077 subreddit yesterday. Sure enough, the clip features V driving around at night in a torrential downpour, a phenomenon that both pablo397 and several commenters note didn't happen as much before the patch. Sure, there is rainy weather during certain quests, but random rainfall throughout normal gameplay has been rare up until now.

To focus on repairing Cyberpunk 2077’s many glitches, CD Projekt Red decided to put the game's previously-planned DLC expansions on hold back in January - though data miners have claimed that there are some clues to this new content in the latest Hotfix 1.21 patch. In the meantime, modders have been making their own fun in the wide-open sandbox of Night City, altering Cyberpunk 2077’s lighting to create a dark atmosphere and using the game’s in-depth character creator to put together a V resembling The Witcher 3’s Ciri.

The most likely reason for Cyberpunk 2077’s increased rainfall is Hotfix 1.21 altering the game’s random weather generating program, which was one of CD Projekt Red’s many selling points during Cyberpunk’s nearly nine-year development cycle that many felt fell short in the finished product. In any case, having more rain will certainly help the gritty, noir-like tone Cyberpunk 2077 aims for in its dark tale of corporate corruption and mind-altering AI.
