CD Projekt RED’s latest update for Cyberpunk 2077, Patch 2.3, has finally been revealed, and best of all, it’s out tomorrow, July 17th for Xbox Series X/S, PS5 and PC. Nintendo Switch 2 players will receive it a later date.
Alongside adding four new vehicles – the Yaiba ARV-Q340 Semimaru, Rayfield Caliburn “Mordred,” Yaiba ASM-R250 Muramasa, and the Chevillon Legatus 450 Aquila – you can finally toggle AutoDrive. Not only will it automatically send you to a designated location or quest, but it also allows for endless cruising. Until you’re suddenly attacked, of course. If you prefer the backseat, then Delamain Taxi Service is on call.
You must complete the “Don’t Lose Your Mind” job first, but once that’s done, call for a cab, hop in and enjoy the ride. While driving, a Cinematic Camera is available, letting you take in the sights of Night City from different angles.
Rayfield’s CrystalCoat, introduced in Patch 2.2 as a means of customising your vehicle’s colors, has also been expanded. It’s now available on more vehicles and even motorcycles, though a cracked version is available on “lower-end” vehicles.
Several other features are also available, including new Photo Mode options, AMD FSR 4.0 support on PC (though you need to wait for the corresponding AMD driver), and VRR support on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S. Check out some of the patch notes below and full details here.
Update 2.3 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.
- Fixed an issue where unique color schemes did not work properly on the Mizutani Shion MZ1 and MZ2.
- Fixed an issue where unique color scheme could not be applied properly to the Villefort Deleon “Vindicator”.
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.
