Cyberpunk 2077 needs hotfix to correct bugs from previous patches – Polygon
A hotfix for Cyberpunk 2077 rolled out this Thursday to correct a game-breaking bug introduced by last Friday’s patch 1.1.

Sea of Thieves’ new battle pass system – Polygon
Sea of Thieves’ new battle pass schedule goes live on January 28th. Players can now earn Renown, “a new progression metric that isn’t wholly dependent on handing in loot.” The new Plunder Pass, the premium pass, is purchasable for the equivalent of $10 USD premium currency. This premium currency can also be obtained for free through Renown progression and from defeating a rare new skeleton type.

Since the series’ reboot in 2016, IO Interactive has shown a true mastery of open-ended level design.
