This is a really interesting situation. Even though this isn't a content update, it's still a pretty significant update for a game that has nobody left on the development team, which is almost a "ghost in the shell" scenario on its own. I'm guessing the work from this was done largely by Intel and/or AMD. And it makes sense why they'd be pushing out updates for a game that the studio has stopped working on; people still use CP77 to show off the capabilities of their high-end PCs, which is free advertising for these guys.
I just love that we got to see Cyberpunk go from "so broken that it was pulled from stores" to "THE benchmark game".
Yep, it's doing the work that Crysis used to do for PC's.
