Cyberpunk 2077 has come a really good distance since its initial buggy launch. The sport took an enormous step forward when it introduced Update 2.0 last yr, together with the Phantom Liberty expansion. It received Update 2.1 before the tip of 2023 and now CD Projekt Red is rolling out Update 2.2 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The most recent patch includes over 100 recent customization options for V, adds CrystalCoat compatibility for select vehicle brands, a brand-new Twintone color scheme feature for CrystalCoat compatible vehicles, and more. Photo Mode has also been overhauled, adding recent camera options, aspect ratios, light sources, posable NPCs, and more.
In late November, CD Projekt Red confirmed that Cyberpunk 2077 has sold 30 million units. The developer is now focusing its production efforts on The Witcher 4. See the complete patch notes for Update 2.2 below.
Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.2 Patch Notes
Recent Features
- Rayfield’s CrystalCoat™ technology, initially designed for Rayfield vehicles only, has now been adopted by other automobile manufacturers. You possibly can now change the paint jobs on Herrera, Mizutani, Quadra and Villefort vehicles. Pro tip: Use CrystalCoat™ to idiot the cops and lower your NCPD wanted level!
- Kiroshi presents TWINTONE™! As CrystalCoat™ continues to in gain popularity, TWINTONE™ takes your paint jobs to the subsequent level. Simply scan a automobile along with your Kiroshi optics, switch to the TWINTONE™ tab, then save the vehicle’s color scheme for a small fee. You’ll then find a way to pick out the scheme within the TWINTONE™ database under the CrystalCoat™ menu. There, you’ll also find generic color schemes for all CrystalCoat™-compatible vehicles in addition to unique color schemes exclusive to the vehicle model from which they were copied. Please note that color scheme cloning isn’t authorized on vehicles which might be linked to quests, belong to the NCPD or which might be incompatible with CrystalCoat™ tech.
- All vehicles compatible with CrystalCoat™ and TWINTONE™ are marked with a sprig can icon on Autofixer.
