Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.2 Is Out Now

CD Projekt Red has just revealed new features coming in Cyberpunk 2077 version 2.2. The patch was also shadowdropped at the end of a livestream, and should be downloadable now.

The patch focusses on letting players “express themselves”. As part of this, the devs have added more than 100 new character customisation options, such as new cyberware, makeup, and eyes. The photo mode has also received some huge improvements, letting us take pictures with NPCs.

This comes about a year after what was assumed to be the final major update for Cyberpunk 2077. This added a usable metro service and portable radio, and came shortly after the release of the Phantom Liberty expansion.

Today’s announcement also comes on Cyberpunk 2077’s fourth anniversary. It’s safe to say that the game has come a long way from the disaster it was in 2020, thanks to various updates. Earlier today, a lead dev admitted that it was “f**cking hard” to get Cyberpunk 2077 more in line with fan expectations, but says it was “worth it” in the end.

As for what comes next, the team are working on a sequel, currently known as Project Orion. We have basically no details on this right now, as the next Witcher game is much further ahead in development since it’s been a lot longer since we had an instalment in that series. We’ll have to wait and see what the devs are getting up to with Cyberpunk’s first sequel.

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).
