‘Cyberpunk 2077' Reveals Update 2.3 Release Date, Everything It's Adding
CDPR has finally deemed it time to preview its latest post-launch Cyberpunk 2077 update, despite saying many, many times it was doing adding things. Well, guess what? Even more things are coming.
The stream gave us a release date for Update 2.3, which mercifully, is tomorrow, Thursday, July 17, so no more waiting. They also broke down what exactly to expect, which feels like less than the 2.1 and 2.2 updates in terms of what they added. Here's the list:
Main Goal– More 'novelty' and 'fresh air' in order to make you want to replay the game. Also a lot of fan-requests added. A big vehicle focus.
Crystal Coat/Twin Tone – This is the car color system that was introduced in past patches. This has been expanded to a lot of new cars in 2.3, including lower-end vehicles. Almost all the cars are now usable minus a few exceptions. 32 vehicles now can use the system. There are 205 generic colors and 168 unique paint jobs for cars now.
Cyberpunk 2077
New Vehicles Being Added – New sports car from a Cyberpunk comic book added. New heavy truck covered in graffiti and is the first weaponized truck. There are actual quests you need to complete in order to get some of the new vehicles, but these appear to be existing quests you play in the game as you go.

Autodrive – All vehicles can use this. It will automatically drive you around without touching the wheel, heading to each quest destination or custom points. However, this is rather slow and will follow normal traffic patterns. You can also just set the vehicle to drive totally randomly for I suppose, some sort of chill ASMR relaxation system.
Delamain Taxi – New car service you can call to take you anywhere after you complete that side quest. Same autodrive if for whatever reason you don't want to drive your own car.
Photo Mode - New tab to change time of day and weather. New NPCs being added to the system, 27 you can now add to pose with you. Almost all NPCs have alternate outfits (just in photo mode). Lots of new stickers and frames. New poses, new lighting, ability to pick where someone looks, which changes the pose itself in a natural way. Three new hue bars for color balance. They say it's now the most feature-heavy photo mode in gaming.
Cyberpunk 2077
Tech – Better HDR Settings, AMD FSR 4, AMD FSR 3.1 Frame Generation, Intel XESS 2.0 with XESS Frame Generation, Intel HDR10+ Gaming Support, VRR on consoles.
So this is probably the smallest patch we've seen out of the 2.1/2.2/2.3 batch, which I'm guessing some players may be a touch disappointed with. I'm not exactly seeing the stated idea of 'we want people to play the game again' based on these cool but small additions, but hey, it's free, it's neat, it's something. But if they are going to do this, I wish that they would expand beyond the concepts they've already done a lot of work on (cars, photo mode).

'I have little sympathy for the lenders - where was the car finance value for consumers?'
Even as a child, if Aidan Rushby witnessed bullying at school the now entrepreneur's modus operandi was to come to the rescue. Fast forward several years to where Rushby set up car finance app Carmoola to help consumers and get rid the "horrendous" commissions which could see millions owed compensation following the motor loan mis-selling scandal. 'There is something about serving and helping people,' says Rushby, co-founder and CEO of the fintech start-up. It's about delivering value for consumers so they can get a great product and ultimately you can drive a great business. I love seeing customers' reactions to the product.' Read More: I ditched waking up before 5am every day to grow my luxury bedding brand Rushby knew he was on to something when his mother-in-law understood the concept of Carmoula when he pitched it to her, ahead of launching the company in late 2022. Carmoola has since processed around four million loan applications in the three years since the app first came to market — and acquired total funding to the tune of £146m. Before car financing came car washing when he set up his first business as a 15-year-old. He later set up his own motor racing team, made websites at university selling T-shirts before working in property and 'being out and about' in Bristol. In 2013, Rushby started to think about digitising the rental experience and set up his first business venture, Movebubble, which lasted seven years. 'It was painful and I made so many mistakes,' he admits. 'I had a fair amount of childhood trauma and I was in this loop of failing. I was quite persistent and kept on trying to raise money to keep it going. 'It's not a great place as an entrepreneur to fear failure as you really need to embrace it. I wasn't scared of taking risks, I was more scared of how others would perceive it if it didn't work.' Rushby, who has dyslexia, stepped away as CEO in 2021 and sensed an opportunity in the car finance market after mulling consumer business ideas in the mortgage and investment space. He tested demand with a basic landing page website under a different brand name. Within a few hours, there were hundreds of sign ups for the product offering and it gave Rushby confidence to drive the business forwards. 'I saw that consumers were being ripped off by all these traditional lenders where they were paying the dealerships massive commissions and raking up the APRs,' he says. 'I thought there was a big opportunity to go direct to the consumer and deliver a modern fintech product experience.' Read More: 'In our workplace, we look for passionate, slightly unhinged mountain climbers' There were still stumbling blocks ahead of launch as investors began to ask questions after regulatory approval took six months longer than expected. Carmoola received the green light in the same week that Russia's invasion of Ukraine escalated. With two of Rushby's co-founders and engineers hailing from Ukraine, there was a frantic move to make the border crossing to Poland before it closed a few hours later. Of Carmoola's 50 staff, half are engineers now based in Warsaw and the rest housed at the firm's Primrose Hill headquarters in London. A revenue run rate is closing in on £20m, with Carmoola growing at 150% year-on-year. Its customer support team is employed directly and based in the UK, with Rushby noting that salaries are paid above market average in a bid to be pivotal, on-hand support to its customers. 'Consumers are trusting Carmoola with a very big purchase, probably the most important purchase after their home,' he says. 'It's an incredibly stressful time for those people who can't pay their car loan. They need professionals who can help them on that journey during periods if they lose their job or something happens in the family.' Rushby is also eyeing the looming Supreme Court ruling which could see payouts for millions of drivers after dealerships increased commission without being disclosed to consumers. The Financial Conduct Authority could then set up a redress scheme for lenders to compensate consumers, while payouts could take up from six months up to one year. 'It was one reason why Carmoola was created, to get rid of the horrendous commissions,' says Rushby. 'These people [lenders] were well aware of what they were doing in terms of ripping the consumer off. I have little sympathy. The traditional process was so opaque and they were acting for their own pockets. Where was the delivery of value to the consumer?' Read More: 'I returned to my old office to sell ties after being made redundant' Carmoola's next port of call is to build out financial products centred around the vehicle by launching a leasing-style PCP product as well as car insurance. New markets' expansion outside of the UK will also be explored. One senses that with the plentiful hurdles that Rushby has overcome during his career, both privately and in business, the entrepreneur relishes opportunities to solve them. Sure enough, as a founder he admits this to being 'super fun'. 'The more scary it is, the better sometimes,' he adds. 'It's a fun intellectual challenge of how to fix these things.' View from the top: how to build a successful start-up Go with your own gut Don't look for other people to give you advice. You have to make the decisions and they come from listening to other people. Very few people have the context that you are trying to solve, so you have to form your own judgement and be disciplined as an entrepreneur. Writing a journal is powerful I write a CEO report outlining what we are doing at strategic and operational levels. It's a powerful tool to look back over time in how I was thinking at the time and whether it played out. Show value proposition To show real understanding, are you able to communicate that to somebody who has no idea? Do they get it and does it make sense to them? I pitched Carmoola to my mother-in-law and she got it straight away. I wouldn't say that is the golden rule but it is a useful way of articulating whether the business model makes sense. A step by step process This gave me a high level of confidence to make sure it would work after the lessons from my first business. What is the real size of the market? How is revenue generated and how many people are likely to use the product? How cost effective is it to acquire the customers in this space? Then it's how to generate revenue and what the unit economics look like for the product. I forecast all of that before we even started. The real thinking From here, it is whether you are confident in acquiring these customers, what the competition is going to do and if they can stop you; to how much time you have got to really make it fly and the key elements of what you need to deliver on so that they can't copy you.

Do we need Bookish, yet another cosy crime?
A silhouette on flocked wallpaper. A cute transistor radio playing light jazz. A woman is dozing, slipping down the settee – no, wait – she's being dragged on to the floor, the seams of her nylons disappearing into the shadows. Sedation, abduction and murder, quite possibly, have never looked or sounded more tasteful. In our world of constant, instantly accessible horror, TV schedulers are turning more than ever to – excuse me while I gag – cosy crime . I get it. TV viewers are human. We crave shocks that activate our fight-or-flight instincts, our primitive selves. It's simply that gentler versions are nicer when the news cycle is all disaster, fascism and genocide. On UKTV's cosy crime network (and available to subscribers of Now TV ), Bookish presents itself more poshly than Midsomer Murders, Death in Paradise and the recent BBC Sunday night hit Death Valley. It is set in a strangely glossy post war London, where Mark Gatiss plays the irritatingly named Gabriel Book, who runs an antiquarian bookshop. Polly Walker plays his wife, Trottie, a shoulder-padded, vintage-clad dream who runs the wallpaper shop next door. Outside work, they help police solve crimes, although it's not clear why. We also slowly discover that their marriage is shrouded in mystery for other reasons. The first episode is slow. We're guided through it s world by newcomer Jack (Connor Finch) , a flat-cap-wearing mini Eddie Redmayne with eyes like sapphire marbles. He gets a job at the shop, even though he struggles to locate it (not because he's illiterate: he finds the apostrophe in the store's name, Book's Books, understandably challenging). He's then brought along to a crime scene that reveals itself as a previously undiscovered plague pit. As a police officer railed at the Books' arrival at the scene, questioning who Jack was, while another officer encouraged the amateurs' deductions, my TV recall siren went off. A very similar setup occurs in the first episode of the BBC 's Sherlock, co-written by Gatiss . Why change a winning formula? We're then whisked along to a suicide that might be a murder. Mentions of the war's effects on the city add an intriguing texture to the plot. But what makes cosy crime really zing is the characters who lead it. In the first few episodes, Gabriel Book's camp pedantry clearly aims towards David Suchet's reading of Poirot in the classic ITV series that ran for 24 years. His bon mots – 'Loose lips drop slips' – feel heavy-handed, however. Trottie's sexy matriarch is a much more intriguing figure, and even better is part-time bookseller Nora (Buket Kömür) . All quickfire wit, she makes the screen shimmer every time she appears. Bookish presents itself more poshly than Midsomer Murders, Death in Paradise and the Sunday night hit Death Valley Jump forward to the present day, and more than 5,000 miles west , to the Yosemite National Park , where – surprise! – there's another mysterious death to investigate. Untamed is Netflix's latest brooding, US-set drama, although Australian and New Zealand actors lead it. Eric Bana, 22 years on from playing the Hulk, is 56 and in his moody, silver- fox era. He plays surly national parks special agent Kyle Turner, a man at his happiest when crossing the wilderness on a horse. Sam Neill, clearly in his kindly grandad era, plays Paul Souter, his boss. Written by Mark L Smith ( screenwriter of The Revenant and Twisters ) and Elle Smith, this is the kind of show made for huge, wall-mounted screens. Craggy landscapes loom and ache, while episode one's opening climbing scene is not for the acrophobic. Turner suddenly has a young woman's death on his hands and he's given a rookie agent, Naya Vasquez (played by the sparky Lily Santiago) , to work with. Yes, there are clich es here, but Santiago brings a welcome levity to the role. There are also some bold visual tricks. A twist late in the opener is nicely done, as are jump cuts between Turner's explorations and the victim's last moments. Is he imagining them or is the park revealing its own memories? If the series continues to plough these deeper, weirder furrows, it may work. Mix Tape is a summer romance set in Sheffield and Sydney. It follows fortysomething music journalist Daniel O'Toole (Jim Sturgess) , who's reminded of the first love of his life, Alison Connor (Teresa Palmer) , after his best friend finds out about her success as a novelist. Here's a generation X-er in mid life, still writing about arts and culture, trying to defend their life choices. Ouch. Scenes slip and slide easily between the present and the past as we learn about each character. Alison's complex backstory unfolds gradually. At one point in Australia, she chats worriedly to her literary agent on a park bench, watching kids play football. A whistle blows, and she's a teen back in school watching a young Daniel (a pitch-perfect Rory Walton-Smith) swearing as he misses a goal. Florence Hunt, playing the young Alison, has the crackle and glow of a star in the making. In the post-Normal People era of more explicit romantic dramas, Mix Tape feels old-fashioned, sweet and slightly cloying – like a striped bag of lemon sherbets. Nevertheless, I loved the close ups of ballpoints scrawling on inlay cards and bedroom floors strewn with C90s (under-35s, ask your parents). Despite clunky dialogue, improbable plot points (surely we all befriended our teenage exes on Facebook nearly 20 years ago?) and too many shots of people gazing into the distance, there are some nice subtle details. The links between his situation and his parents' relationship emerge slowly. And Alison's husband marks himself out as definitely not her indie boy by singing Mental As Anything's 1985 cringe-fest Live It Up. Jude Rogers's watch list Human (BBC Two) This ambitious new BBC/PBS co-production, hosted by the engaging British palaeoanthropologist Ella Al-Shamahi (below) , takes us 'behind the curtain of evolution', stuffing us full with cutting-edge science. Shark! Celebrity Infested Waters (ITVX) It sounds like a fevered Alan Partridge programme pitch, with a title that implies the toothy fish should be more afraid of the stars. But this bizarre show comes alive thanks to endearing contestants such as Lucy Punch (Amandaland) and Lenny Henry . The Great British Sewing Bee (BBC One) Sara Pascoe returns from maternity leave (another task, she says, that involves 'labour, love and careful stitching') to host the 11th series of TV's warmest show, cosying up to sustainable fashion guru Patrick Grant and designer Esme Young.
