Cyberpunk 2077 2.3 Patch Notes Bring Big Changes for Vehicles
Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors
Cyberpunk 2077's got a brand-new update, and it's bringing with it some big changes to how vehicles work, including improvements to handling, self-driving, and even a few new vehicles to check out.
Version 2.3 of Cyberpunk 2077 is out now on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S, and it's almost entirely focused around vehicles. Four new vehicles have been added to the game in the new update, all of which are tied to new side jobs, which is a fun addition for fans of the game.

The new update also adds a new AutoDrive feature, which lets you set a destination on the map and have your vehicle automatically drive you to it. It's a big improvement over the previous fast travel option, which was a bit finicky and frustrating to use, so it's one to look out for.
Alongside the new update, Cyberpunk 2077 is also out now on Mac, with any Mac that has an Apple Silicon chip inside technically able to play the game — though obviously newer chips will run the game a bit better. One platform that is missing out on the 2.3 update is the Nintendo Switch 2, which developer CD Projekt Red says shouldn't take too long. In the meantime, cross-saves with the Switch 2 version of the game probably won't work too well, so if you play across multiple platforms it's better to wait until the Switch 2 version is updated.
With that aside, we've got the full Cyberpunk 2.3 patch notes below, courtesy of CD Projekt.
Cyberpunk 2077 2.3 Patch Notes
Vehicles
Added 4 new vehicles, including several Side Jobs tied to acquiring them:
Yaiba ARV-Q340 Semimaru
Reward from a new side job (to unlock, complete The Hunt and The Beast In Me).
An additional side job unlocks the CrystalCoat™ feature for it.
Rayfield Caliburn "Mordred"
Reward from a new side job (to unlock, complete The Beast in Me: Badlands, The Beast in Me: Santo Domingo, Transmission, and Search and Destroy).
Yaiba ASM-R250 Muramasa
Reward from a new side job (to unlock, purchase 1 Yaiba vehicle, purchase at least 3 vehicles through AUTOFIXER, and complete Reported Crime: You Play with Fire...).
If you fail the side job, the vehicle can later be purchased through AUTOFIXER.
Chevillon Legatus 450 Aquila
Available for purchase on AUTOFIXER.
Introducing AutoDrive! This cutting-edge, autonomous driving feature will take you to your chosen destination (i.e. job objective or placed pin on the map). If you have no set destination, it will take you on a leisurely ride through the streets of Night City. Simply hop in any of your vehicles, make sure you're on a road, and hold H (PC) / Left Stick (consoles) to activate. This feature is disabled when you enter combat or when your vehicle is heavily damaged.
Implemented Cinematic Camera for AutoDrive. Hold Q (PC) / D-Pad Right (consoles) to activate. Sit back and enjoy cinematic views of Night City as you cruise toward your destination.
Self-driving Delamain cabs are now available on demand! Simply open the menu to call vehicles, then select "Delamain Cab" from the list to request a ride. This feature unlocks after completing the job Don't Lose Your Mind (regardless of outcome) and receiving a message from Delamain.
Rayfield's CrystalCoat™ is now available for vehicles from partner brands, including motorcycles. Additionally, the infamous hacker known as Cosmetic_Troll exploited a vulnerability and created a cracked version of Rayfield's CrystalCoat™ technology for lower-end vehicles. Please note, however, that some models do not support the technology, such as heavily modded nomad vehicles and job-related vehicles.

Netflix just added this bloody teen horror movie based on a hit PlayStation game — and it's already crashed the top 10
Netflix just got the gory horror video game adaptation "Until Dawn," and it's immediately shot into the Top 10. Despite only being added yesterday (July 24), the "Until Dawn" movie has already laid claim to the No. 2 spot in the streaming service's charts, second only to "K-Pop Demon Hunters". Honestly, I'm kind of shocked that many people want to stream "Until Dawn" on Netflix, because it's a pretty tedious watch. Take it from me: If you really want to experience the "Until Dawn" story, this is not the way. If you've got access to a PS5, skip the movie entirely and just play the game that inspired it. I'm confident you'll have a better time. It's not just that it differs vastly from the game it's based on; it's also just a very bland horror film, one that's lacking in the thrill and chill departments. However, if seeing the movie rise through the ranks has piqued your curiosity, you can find more info about "Until Dawn" (and a round-up of what people have said about it) below, to help you decide whether to stream it or not. David F. Sandberg's "Until Dawn" adaptation follows Clover (Ella Rubin), her ex-boyfriend Max (Michael Cimino) and her friends as they retrace the steps of Clover's missing sister. The group heads to the remote valley where Melanie (Maia Mitchell) disappeared a year ago. There, they stumble upon an abandoned visitor center, where they're stalked and murdered one by one by a masked killer, slasher movie-style. Then ... they wake up. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. The group finds themselves alive and forced to relive that night over and over, facing ever-more-terrifying killer threats. And when they realize they've only got a limited number of deaths left to play with, they realize the only way out will be to survive until dawn. The "Until Dawn" movie also stars Peter Stormare, Odessa A'zion, Ji-young Yoo, Belmonth Cameli, and Lotta Losten. Unless you're between horror flicks and simply must watch something featuring cheap jump-scares and gory deaths, you don't need to rush to watch "Until Dawn" if you haven't already: it is sorely lacking in comparison to the game/interactive movie it's based on. Even as someone who scares pretty easily, I found it to be a muddled, clichéd, and, frankly, dull. Aside from being impressed by the work that went into realizing some of "Until Dawn's" deaths, I was otherwise unmoved. I'm not the only person who thinks that way, either, as the "Until Dawn" movie wasn't exactly received all too well. At the time of writing it holds a 53% score on the review aggregator, Rotten Tomatoes (from a total of over 100 reviews), indicative of a mixed reception. Reviewing for Empire, Harry Stainer offered a 2/5 verdict, arguing the "Until Dawn" movie wastes its intriguing premise and labels it "undercooked," writing: "What should have been a twisty horror ride ends up feeling like it's bursting at the seams to move up a gear — but never does." The Hollywood Reporter's Lovia Gyarkye, meanwhile, called the movie "more safe than scary" and "confused" as it veers from different horror reference points, adding: "Most of Sandberg's film ends up going through the perfunctory motions of classic horror, piquing interest occasionally with a progression of impressive kills and a sharp use of practical effects." Even the more positive reactions aren't exactly glowing ones. The Guardian's Benjamin Lee offered a 3-star rating, but had this to say: "'Until Dawn' is a passable, if rather unfrightening frightener, made with some skill and enlivened by a strong troupe of young actors, enough to notch it slightly above the piss-poor standard but not quite enough to really justify its existence." That said, some viewers are at least a little warmer on the "Until Dawn" movie. It holds a 67% Popcornmeter score, and some Rotten Tomatoes users. Then again, someone else described it "as mid as it gets," so... your mileage definitely will vary. Bottom line? While some viewers have evidently gotten a kick out of "Until Dawn," it's definitely not a movie you must stream now it's on Netflix. If that means you're now on the hunt for something new to stream, check out our round-up of the best horror movies on Netflix or the overall best Netflix movies for tons more (better) streaming recommendations.

Lawyers Say AI Is Reshaping How—and Why—They Work Beyond Just Automation
Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. When lawyers discuss artificial intelligence (AI), the conversation no longer centers solely on efficiency gains. A recent study commissioned by Ironclad, covering 800 attorneys and legal operations professionals, shows AI is evolving legal work in deeper ways, shaping not only how lawyers operate but also transforming why they remain in the profession despite the long hours, isolated workdays and taxing pursuit of perfection. Lawyers often wear perfectionism like a badge of honor. But precision can come at a cost. "Lawyers by their very nature are overachievers... powered by, and steered towards, perfectionism. It's the perfect recipe for burnout," Jasmine Singh, general counsel at Ironclad, told Newsweek, recounting her six years spent working in Big Law. Long hours of solitary and repetitive review, interspersed with a few high-drama moments like depositions or hearings, left Singh feeling disconnected. Over time, she recognized her fatigue for what it was: burnout. "I wasn't able to really step into my purpose for being a lawyer," Singh recalls. She left for a time, teaching spin classes, fueling her passion for community and wellness. When she returned to practicing law a few months later, she decided to refocus her career on transactional in-house work, where she could work right alongside her team, day in and day out, helping build and protect companies. Photo-illustration by Newsweek/Getty/Adobe Stock/Canva Now, back in the legal world, Singh also found an unexpected ally: AI. "In the last few years, I have extensively used AI," she said. "AI has become a coworker that helps when I need a brainstorming partner; an intern that helps do the rote or repeat work; a sounding board when I want to try a bunch of ideas and see what sticks." It hasn't just helped her do more with less, it's helped her breathe easier, with a safety net for those workday burdens. And she's not alone. Ironclad's second annual State of AI in Legal Report revealed that 96 percent of respondents believe AI helps them meet business goals more efficiently, with 76 percent stating that it directly improves their burnout levels. Younger attorneys, particularly those in Gen Z, are at the forefront, with 91 percent agreeing that AI reduces burnout, compared to 75 percent of millennials. Singh sees a generational shift in the intent behind legal work. Where older attorneys might strive for perfection, younger attorneys are deliberately seeking meaningful, focused and purposeful experiences, and AI is making that possible. "I believe that Gen Z sees the virtue of AI because they have not internalized the message that we have to both be perfect and do perfect work; instead, they are creating the new message that our work has to be effective, impactful, and deliberate–and AI can help with all of those things," Singh said. On the transactional side, AI is rewriting workflows. Katelyn Canning, director and head of legal at fintech data analytics firm Ocrolus, runs a lean operation. "AI has transformed our legal operations by automating document review, cutting contract analysis time by 75 percent, and enabling our small legal team to manage workload equivalent to a department triple our size," she told Newsweek. That takeaway is powerful: a compact team handling the work of many, with AI powering productivity. Canning emphasizes that AI-generated first drafts, like routine communications and agreements, allow her attorneys to shift from creators to strategic reviewers. In Ocrolus's highly regulated environment, that pivot elevated the legal department from a traditional cost center to a trusted business partner, speeding up deals and improving risk oversight. The survey supports this. Respondents reported using AI most often for summarizing case law (61 percent), document and contract review (45 percent and 44 percent, respectively) and drafting legal documents (42 percent). More than half said AI opens time for strategic work. But the change runs deeper. The survey found 64 percent reported AI improves communication, an essential part of legal coordination, and 46 percent see new career growth thanks to it. For in-house teams, that figure jumps to 55 percent. Singh noted, "AI is unlocking these superpowers for lawyers—but core legal expertise is more important than ever now. We're going to see the lawyers with good judgment and curiosity rise to the top." For Singh, AI hasn't just changed how she works, it's changed what's possible. With more time, more clarity and the right tools at her side, she's found a version of legal work that's not only more productive, but more sustainable.
