After months of speculation, Cyberpunk 2077 is once again making waves with its latest patch, Update 2.3, set for release on July 17. This substantial update promises fresh content for fans across all platforms, including PS5, Xbox Series, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2. With the collaboration of Virtuous, CD Projekt Red has packed this update with exciting new features and improvements.
One of the most anticipated additions is the new Delamain taxi service. Players can now summon self-driving taxis, enhancing the immersive experience of navigating through Night City. It’s not just about getting from A to B, though; players can now engage AutoDrive, allowing characters to sit back and enjoy the skyline while the game navigates the streets autonomously. Whether you’re completing missions or just cruising for fun, this feature redefines travel in the game.
In addition to the taxi innovation, players can look forward to a slew of new vehicles, including a motorcycle and three new cars. Unlocking these requires completing specific side jobs, encouraging exploration of the game’s expansive world. The enhanced vehicle options combined with the AutoDrive feature set a new standard for driving dynamics in the gameplay.
Technological advancements are also a strong suit of this patch. Cyberpunk 2077 now supports AMD FSR 4.0 and other advanced rendering technologies, ensuring that both graphics and performance are top-notch. Users can expect improved HDR settings and optimized performance on next-gen consoles.
The patch notes are comprehensive, detailing improvements in several areas:
- New Vehicles: Four additional vehicles are being introduced, each linked to new side jobs for acquisition. Unique side quests will also enable features like CrystalCoat™ for enhanced customization.
- Photo Mode Enhancements: A total of 27 new NPCs can be included in setups, alongside alternative outfits, and more filtering options to help capture that perfect shot.
- Quality of Life Updates: Expect a more personalized gameplay experience with adjustments for mouse settings and aiming control options tailored for comfort.
- Gameplay Fixes: Multiple fixes have been rolled out to resolve common issues players have faced, refining the overall experience.
Cyberpunk 2077 continues to evolve, holding on to its repute as a landmark title in gaming despite its rocky launch. CD Projekt Red isn’t stopping here; they’ve confirmed that the sequel is now in pre-production, promising players a new city experience that could evoke visions of an alternate Chicago.
This new update, packed with innovative features and enhancements, emphasizes the developers’ commitment to refining the player experience in Night City. As fans dive into the new content, it’s clear that CD Projekt Red is shaping a legacy for Cyberpunk 2077 that’s far from over.
