‘Cyberpunk 2077' Update 2.3 Patch Notes
Cyberpunk 2077 On Wednesday, CDPR did a lengthy livestream detailing the upcoming changes to Cyberpunk 2077 that will arrive with the long-awaited Update 2.3. Now, patch notes are live ahead of its launch today. The community really needs to get a handle on expectations for these post-launch patches, and despite this being the third post-2.0 one, there are still some wild ideas about what's coming. I've seen: This makes zero sense if you've been following along, as additions here have been things like new player cosmetics, new cars and cosmetics, new photo mode features and this 2.3 patch is more of that. It's probably even less stuff than the last two patches. But still fun! Now it's time to take a look at all the relevant patch notes. Again, manage expectations: 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. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder 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. Photo Mode Added 27 new NPCs that can be spawned in Photo Mode, including Rita Wheeler, the Cassel twins, fixers, Dum Dum, the iguana, Brendan, and more. You can now switch between alternative outfits for NPCs spawned in Photo Mode. You can now switch between V's saved Wardrobe outfits in Photo Mode. Added a confirmation pop-up when exiting Photo Mode to prevent accidental exits after setting up the perfect shot. Added more customization options to the Look-At Camera feature, including an option for only the character's eyes to turn toward the camera instead of their entire body. Added multiple new stickers and frames, including iconic quotes and stylish overlays that let you turn your screenshots into Night City postcards – perfect for sharing memories from the City of Dreams. Improved Depth of Field and moved it to the Camera tab. Added a new Color Balance tab, allowing you to create your own custom filters. PC-specific Console-specific There are also a large number of bug fixes that you can check out here. As you can see, the focus here is almost exclusively on cars and photo mode. CDPR is determined to make up for the fact that there was really zero car customization at launch, and five years later, they're still working on it. Photo mode was actually fine at launch, but they have added so many things to it, it may be the most feature-complete photo mode in all of gaming. No exaggeration. So no, no new expansion, no third-person mode, no multiplayer. But some fun things all the same. The patch is out on all platforms today. Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram.

Cyberpunk 2077's latest update brings VRR to consoles and introduces an autodrive mode
There's another big update for Cyberpunk 2077 coming our way. Update 2.3 brings some notable new features to PC and consoles. CD Projekt Red (CDPR) is adding official in-game support for VRR on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. This should help with screen tearing when the frame rate drops and is of particular use when running the game in performance mode. There's also an official AutoDrive feature, which is something that has long-existed in the modding community. This is available in all cars and motorcycles and lets players drive from place to place automatically. Just set the destination marker and let the game do the rest. This isn't teleportation. The vehicle still drives, it does just so automatically. With AutoDrive enabled, players can turn on a "cinematic camera" to make the journey a bit more visually stimulating. There's even a new "wandering" mode for aimless joyrides, for those who just want to experience the splendor of Night City and its environs. Speaking of driving, the update also brings four additional vehicles to the game, and they all look to be attached to new side jobs. More content is always appreciated. PC players are getting support for AMD FSR 3.1, Intel XeSS 2.0 and HDR 10 Plus. AMD's FSR 4 is also being added, but it requires a specialized driver that isn't available yet. CDPR says it's coming at a "later date." The update drops on July 17, which is the same day the Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Editioncomes to Mac computers. It looks like the Mac version will include these new features. Update 2.3 is coming to the Switch 2, but not just yet. Cyberpunk 2077was a launch title for the recently-released console.

Cyberpunk 2077's next update adds ‘AutoDrive' and VRR for consoles
Cyberpunk 2077's Update 2.3, set to launch on Thursday for Mac, PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X / S, will add a bunch of new features focused around vehicles and proper VRR support on consoles. The new AutoDrive feature, available in all cars and motorcycles, lets you drive from place to place automatically. You can set where you want to go on the game's map, including driving directly to where you need to go for a quest. (The feature only works on roads, though.) You can also use AutoDrive in a 'wandering' mode that lets the car just drive around on its own. While AutoDrive is on, you can turn on a 'cinematic camera' mode to see some more dramatic shots. And if you'd prefer to get a taxi ride from the Delamain AI, that's an option in Update 2.3 as well once you've completed a specific quest. With Update 2.3, CD Projekt Red (CDPR) is also adding official in-game support for VRR on both PS5 and Xbox that can help with screen tearing when the frame rate drops. It was already supported at the system level, but the game's makers say that implementing VRR properly should improve the experience, which can come in handy when you're running in performance mode on consoles. On PC, the update adds support for AMD FSR 3.1, Intel XeSS 2.0, and HDR 10 Plus. Support for AMD's FSR 4 is being added, too, but you won't be able to turn it on in-game until you've installed the driver that supports it, and that driver won't be available until a 'later date,' CDPR says. The game will launch on Mac on Thursday, though you'll need an Apple Silicon Mac with at least 16GB of unified memory to be able to play it. Cyberpunk 2077 was also a launch title for the Nintendo Switch 2, and Update 2.3 will come to the platform 'at a later date.'

‘Cyberpunk 2077' Reveals Update 2.3 Release Date, Everything It's Adding
Cyberpunk 2077 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. FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder 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). Follow me on Twitter, YouTube, Bluesky and Instagram.
