Cyberpunk 2077 Update 1.63 Brings Performance Boosts and Expanded Save Slots.
Today, Cyberpunk 2077 players can rejoice as CD Projekt Red releases another highly anticipated update - Update 1.63. This update primarily focuses on addressing gameplay issues and quest fixes, but it also brings some significant changes specifically for Xbox players.
One of the notable changes in Update 1.63 is an expansion of the available save slots for Xbox players. Previously, the number of manual save slots was limited, causing inconvenience for players who wanted to save their progress at various points in the game. With this update, CD Projekt Red has addressed this issue by increasing the limit for manual saves to 20 slots. Additionally, the Point of No Return saves now allow up to 10 slots.
If you have been reaching the save slot limit on your Xbox, it is essential to note that you will need to delete some existing saves before creating new ones. This expansion provides players with greater flexibility in managing their progress and ensures a smoother gaming experience.
In response to player feedback and reports of performance issues, CD Projekt Red has taken specific measures to enhance the gameplay experience on Xbox Series X and Xbox Series S. Update 1.63 introduces a performance fix that tackles an issue arising after playing for an "extended period of time."
Developers aim to minimize any adverse effects that players may have encountered, such as decreased frame rates, lag, or other performance-related issues. This fix demonstrates CD Projekt Red's commitment to continually improving Cyberpunk 2077 and optimizing the game for the Xbox platform.
