Cyberpunk 2077 has not had a separate support team for several months now, so patch 2.2 for the game was created in collaboration with the Virtuous studio (helps, for example, with the development of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater).

According to CD Projekt Red, update 2.2 will allow Cyberpunk 2077 players to express themselves “like never before” with additional personalization options, a redesigned photo mode, and more.

Changing the color of the car will allow, for example, to deceive the police and lower the wanted level

Main changes in patch 2.2:

• The ability to change the color of the vehicle (the “Crystal coating” function) has spread from Rayfield cars to other brands – Herrera, Mizutani, Quadra and Villefort;
• The new “Contraton” system will allow you to scan a car using Kiroshi implants and save the color scheme for repainting your own car;
• Ten of the most desirable cars from the streets of Night City have been added to the assortment of the Autofixer store;
• After completing the first act of the game, Johnny will sometimes appear in the passenger seat, react to what is happening and comment on the view from the window (if the car is driven by V);
• Redesigned photo mode includes free movement of the drone camera, increased maximum shooting range, “Presence of obstacles”, “Camera anchoring” and “Aspect” parameters (PC only), “Characters” and “Lighting” tabs, effect strength scale;
• Thanks to “Smart Frames”, you can decorate the walls of your apartments with pictures taken in photo mode;
• More than 100 new customization elements for V in the character editor, including eye colors, lip, cheekbone and eye makeup, nail polishes, scars, eyebrows, tattoos and decorative facial implants;
• A random appearance generation function with a scale that determines how unremarkable or extravagant V’s appearance will be;
• New secrets that the developers did not reveal.

Among other things, we fixed a number of bugs in quests and the open world, fixed the animation of cutting off a head with a katana, increased performance (up to 33%) on Intel Arrow Lake processors, and so on (see the full list of changes).

As for the release date of update 2.2, you won’t have to wait long for the release: the patch is already available on PC (Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store), PS5, Xbox Series X and S for all Cyberpunk 2077 owners.

CD Projekt Red did not specify whether 2.2 (another) will be the last major update for Cyberpunk 2077, but during the broadcast they hinted that they still had “a surprise or two” in store for players.
