Release Announcement
Tomorrow marks a significant milestone for "Cyberpunk 2077" fans as Update 2.3 launches on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. Fans of the game on Nintendo Switch 2 will also be delighted to hear that the update will come to the Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition at a later date. So stay tuned for further details!
Exploring Night City Anew
This update promises numerous enhancements that will change how players interact with the vibrant world of Night City. One of the most notable features is the introduction of four new vehicles, which will enrich your experience even further. Among these vehicles will be several tied to new side jobs, ensuring that your adventures in the game world remain engaging and fresh.
Innovative AutoDrive Feature
Arguably one of the standout additions in this update is the cutting-edge AutoDrive feature. This autonomous driving technology delivers a unique gameplay mechanic where players can simply hop in their vehicle and let it navigate to a chosen destination. Whether you’re heading to a job objective or simply cruising through the neon-lit streets, all you need to do is hold H on PC or the Left Stick on consoles to activate it. However, be warned: AutoDrive won’t engage if you’re in combat or if your vehicle is heavily damaged.
Cinematic experiences are further enhanced with a new Cinematic Camera for AutoDrive. By holding Q on PC or D-Pad Right on consoles, you can enjoy stunning views of Night City as you travel toward your destination.
Self-Driving Delamain Cabs
The update also introduces self-driving Delamain cabs, available on-demand for players after completing the job Don’t Lose Your Mind. Simply open your menu, select "Delamain Cab," and request a ride. This feature promises to add an extra layer of immersion to your gameplay.
CrystalCoat
Updates
Another exciting development is the expanded availability of Rayfield’s CrystalCoat. This stylish enhancement is now accessible for vehicles from partner brands, including motorcycles. Notably, the infamous Cosmetic_Troll has exploited CrystalCoat technology for lower-end vehicles, expanding customization options for all players.
Revamped Photo Mode
Photography enthusiasts will appreciate the enhancements in Photo Mode, now boasting the ability to spawn 27 new NPCs, including fan-favorites like Rita Wheeler and Dum Dum. Players can also easily switch between NPC outfits and even V’s saved wardrobe. A new confirmation pop-up when exiting Photo Mode ensures players won’t accidentally close out after capturing the perfect shot.
Lighting tweaks include improved light movement and the introduction of multiple new stickers, frames, and a Color Balance tab, allowing for custom filters. Plus, a new Time and Weather tab offers options like rain and fog, adding layers to your photographic creations.
Quality of Life Improvements
Update 2.3 also focuses on quality of life, with several helpful features. The game now automatically detects if you’re using inverted mouse settings and adjusts in-game button prompts accordingly. Additionally, players can toggle aiming down sights through the settings menu. These enhancements aim to provide a smoother and more enjoyable gaming experience.
Gameplay Fixes and Additions
The update addresses various gameplay issues, including improvements to missions like Cyberpsycho Sighting: Bloody Ritual and Sex on Wheels, ensuring objectives disappear correctly from the Journal post-completion. Enhancements extend to gameplay mechanics, such as fixes for automatic weapons and the usability of Cyberware.
For those looking to replay tutorials, the option to do so is now conveniently available in the settings.
Platform-Specific Features
For PC gamers, exciting enhancements include support for AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 and Intel XeSS 2.0, elevating visual quality. Players on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S can now enjoy Variable Refresh Rate support, making for a more seamless gaming experience.
