Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.2 is now live on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X, adding several new customization options for the player character and vehicles, an overhauled photo mode, and more Johnny Silverhand! Developer CD Projekt Red began rolling out the latest update on Tuesday, a year after update 2.1 was released and exactly four years after the game launched. CD Projekt detailed patch 2.2 in a livestream and said that the idea behind the latest update was to give players a way to express themselves more in the world of Cyberpunk 2077.
Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.2 Features
Starting with the player character, V, players can now have more ways to customize their experience in the game. The patch adds over 100 new character customization options that can be accessed in the character creation menu at the beginning of the game or later when players choose to edit V’s appearance. These include new eye colors, types of makeup, tattoos, cyberware cosmetics and more.
There are also new and more ways to customize the look of vehicles in Cyberpunk 2077. The in-game CrystalCoat technology, which allows players to edit the paint job on Rayfield cars, has now been extended to other select vehicle brands in the game. Players can now scan a car and save its color scheme for a fee, so they can select it later when customizing their vehicle. Additionally, the ten most requested vehicles on the streets of Night City are now available for purchase on Autofixer, CD Projekt said in the patch notes for update 2.2.
The patch also adds new interactions with Johnny Silverhand, a key non-player character in the game. Silverhand, played by Keanu Reeves, will now occasionally appear in the passenger seat of V’s car and comment on the driving and react to what is happening.
The game’s photo mode has also received extensive changes, bringing new camera controls, aspect ratio adjustments on PC, NPC additions, and more. Users can also display their framed photo mode shots in V’s apartment. CD Projekt also said that there are now more secrets to discover in Night City.
Apart from new features, update 2.2 also brings bug fixes and improvements to quest design and gameplay. Some improvements are specific to the Phantom Liberty expansion.
The latest patch follows update 2.1 which adds a fully functional metro system, a RadioPort for listening to in-game radio stations on the go, hangout activities with romantic partners, and new vehicles and activities.
