Cyberpunk 2077 1.2 patch fixes one of the best / worst typos in the game

Cyberpunk 2077 patch 1.2 notes are huge, with literally hundreds of changes listed, meaning little details can easily be lost. However, one of the smaller changes caught our attention – the game’s most visible typo will finally be fixed in the next update. Shortly after release, players (including IGN’s Mitchell Saltzman , below) started to notice that a frankly huge sign in Cyberpunk’s open world misspelled the name of Night City, the main location of the game. Leaving the south side of town, you pass by a post of border control bearing the phrase “LEAVE NIGTH CITY”.

Fans on Twitter, Reddit and beyond quickly picked up on the odd spelling. Some even wondered if this could be deliberate – not as far-fetched an idea as it sounds, given the developers said a suspected typo is actually an intentional play on words.

Is this a typo, or did I miss a story that explains how Night City’s real name is actually Nigth City? pic.twitter.com/DQgRFrtjGj

Have you played Cyberpunk 2077?

YESNO

In the case of the Nigth City sign, however, the most recent patch notes made it clear that this was not intentional after all and that there will be a fix. In the Environment and Note Levels section, a small note reads: “Fixed the misspelled Leaving Night City sign”.

If you haven’t already, it might be time to head to the tunnel and take a selfie with the sign, as it’s about to be consigned to the story bin. If you need to find it, check out our Cyberpunk 2077 interactive map – it’s right next to the Border Checkpoint fast travel point.

As we said, this marks a small note in an avalanche of changes apparently coming with the long-awaited patch 1.2 for the game. Although it still does not have a firm release date, CD Projekt Red has previously stated that this patch “would fix the most significant issues that gamers face on the latest generation consoles,” after launching the game with major issues, especially for PS4 and Xbox One. It remains to be seen whether he returns to the PS Store after more than 100 days.
