Yes.
I am 'hopeful' of being able to play tonight, 50GB doesn't normally take more than an hour or so on my connection, but with everyone all hammering the servers at once I expect it will take much longer. I'm just leaving my PC on overnight to patch.
Well, I will have to DL anyway 
I don't even have an optical drive in my current PC
I don't even have an optical drive in my current PC Not available for me on GeForce Experience - still showing the 2nd December driver (457.51) which I've resisted installing because I knew there would be a CP-specific driver coming so why risk it.
Is this on their website?
EDIT: Nvm, took as long as it took for me to type the above for the 460.79 driver to show. I did check for updates immediately before posting though!
Quick heads up - it looks like the patch has been released, and if you've preloaded it on GOG at least it's not that big. Only 9.7GB. It's downloading now (I activated it by trying to 'play' the game which comes up with the "wait - it's not the 10th yet" screen). Then it started updating.
Those who are wanting to play tonight at midnight might want to try this.

I see you never heard of Irish "broadband"...
I have.
When I say "not that big" - I mean it's significantly less than the 50GB patch size that's being bandied about.

That doesn't seem to work on Steam. Though it doesn't matter too much as I'm working tomorrow, so I'll just download the day one patch during the day.
(...scratches Ireland from the shortlist of countries to move to...)
I normally shut down my computer before going to work. This time, I left in on, just in case something like this would happen. Hopefully, it’ll be ready to go after supper!
I will do..usual tactic for downloading game sized patchesThe game (well, the patch
I wouldn't bother...he spends most of the stream chosing curtains or salvaging every single piece of useless crap from every single box even in the middle of a firefightI'm putting this in the "Things To Watch When I've Played At Least 20 Hours Myself" file.
Patch is live and downloading ( 10GB ).
Hopefully they optimized things a bit from what reviewers had in their hands.
With 4 hours to go, I think I'm going to go get some shut-eye now in case it's really that good and will keep me up over night.

If you mean performance/fps; review copies had Denuo DRM. They specifically asked TH to remove their benchmark (which they did) because the DRM significantly reduced performance. The launch version has the DRM disabled, so even if nothing else changed performance should be a bit better. Also, DLSS seems to be pretty much a must on 4k unless you drop quality a fair bit...

Thanks for the nudge. 6%. Dare I start the game though? Given I have a 10'o'clock with the neurologist tomorrow (8%) the correct answer is an emphatic 'no'. 'Great'. 11%.
Then again, just a quick look can't hurt... right...? 12%.
Yeah, I'm afraid that my "I'm just gonna start the Nomad route to check out the brunette chick and see if I like the path before switching to my theorycrafted Corpo" is going to turn into 10 hours of hardcore gaming session (after which I'm going to go die to the office)
Doctor's appointment, though, yeah. That's a pretty decent reason to not go overboard with this, tonight.

Jeebus. I didn't know performance affecting DRM was still a thing.
Generally not with public versions, but review copies often have all kind of crap. Compared with WCCFTech benchmarks the DRM itself costs about 20%(!) in performance.
Ah... so he’s following the standard role-playing game protagonist procedure, then.I wouldn't bother...he spends most of the stream chosing curtains or salvaging every single piece of useless crap from every single box even in the middle of a firefight
I'm going to experiment a bit to see. I "only" have a 1080Ti, so no DLSS or RTX or any of that. But I've managed to have good 4K experiences in every game so far, including NMS, E: D, and MSFS.
So I'm hoping with the quality dialled back a bit from the "High" setting, that will still be possible.
