Cyberpunk 2077 is getting a surprise update, with CD Projekt Red announcing patch 2.2. This update will add new features to the game more than four years since its initial launch.

Cyberpunk 2077 Is Getting Another Update, Four Years After Launch
While work on the sequel kicks off, Cyberpunk 2077 gets yet another update
The exact details of update 2.2 will be revealed in a livestream tomorrow. It’s unclear with CDPR has been cooking this entire time, as it had long been suspected that support for Cyberpunk 2077 had come to an end.
In fact, information shared by the company’s investors team appeared to suggest that no one was working on the game anymore, after various patches finally brought it more in line with what fans expected back in 2020.
We’ll have to wait and see what features are added. The last major update added a useable metro service and a portable radio, getting rid of the need to drive everywhere if we wanted to listen to some tunes. If this update is anything like the next one, then we could get a few reasons to return to Night City after a bit of a break.
While this is pure speculation, it’ll be interesting to see if this update gives Cyberpunk 2077 a PS5 Pro upgrade. The game can boast some gorgeous visuals with the right tech, so it would be a good candidate for a PS5 Pro-compatible title.
Developed by CD Projekt Red, Cyberpunk 2077 is a first-person action role-playing game based on the Cyberpunk tabletop RPG. You must choose your path through life in the lawless Night City, while contending with the memories of Johnny Silverhand (Keanu Reeves).
