  • Close out of the game and find Cyberpunk 2077 in your library.

Right click on the game, choose Manage Installation and then Verify and Repair.
  • Once the game has had the files verified, restart and check if you can now apply points to the skill tree.
  • If the issue has still persisted, you’ll have to try doing a fresh install of the game. It’s a bit of a pain but that has also worked for some players.

That’s how you can fix the skill tree perk bug in Cyberpunk 2077’s 2.0 update. It’s an unfortunate bug happening as a result of the roll out of the update. Hopefully you’ll only need the first option to fix your game!
