Even more vehicles to collect

As a dedicated gamer, I managed to add three fresh cars and a snazzy motorcycle to my garage after wrapping up a series of tasks. Sasko mentioned these jobs won’t impact my 100% completion rate in the game, and activating them is a breeze. Here’s the rundown of new vehicles I can grab through new side-jobs:

* Car A (details)
* Car B (details)
* Car C (details)
* Motorcycle D (details)

Yaiba ARV-Q340 Semimaru

Completing both side-quests, The Hunt and The Beast In Me, earned you a reward. Unlocking an extra side-quest now grants you access to the CrystalCoat feature.

Rayfield Caliburn Mordred

Completed the side-missions titled “The Beast in Me: Badlands”, “The Beast in Me: Santo Domingo”, “Transmission”, and “Search & Destroy”, and was subsequently compensated for the tasks.

Yaiba ASM-R250 Muramasa

As a thrilled fan, once I’ve acquired one Yaiba vehicle, made three more purchases via Autofixer, and successfully completed the side mission titled “You Play with Fire,” I gain access to a world of exciting possibilities!

Chevillon Legatus 450 Aquila

Available for purchase through Autofixer.

AutoDrive to survive

Enjoy taking in the scenic beauty and lively sounds of Night City while seated comfortably in your preferred automobile? With AutoDrive, you can effortlessly do so without holding the wheel! This new feature lets your vehicle drive itself, following traffic rules when activated, all thanks to a software update within the game’s universe. Just remember, you’ll need to be on a road to utilize it, but it seems like a convenient way to navigate the city.

This function includes a “drifting” mode for leisurely movement without progress, suitable for motorcycles. If threatened, it will automatically shut off. Additionally, there’s a fresh “Cinematographic Perspective” feature which allows you to observe your driving experience from unique viewpoints when activated.

Delamain taxis are also available to call

With backseat tourism, you have the option now to summon Cyberpunk 2077’s preferred AI program, Delamain, to bring one of its taxis to your location, for a modest charge. This service becomes accessible after successfully completing the mission titled “Don’t Lose Your Mind”.

One of the best photo modes in video games is about to become even better

As a game enthusiast immersed in the vibrant world of Cyberpunk 2077, I’m thrilled to share that the already impressive photo mode is getting an upgrade! Now, you can select from 27 new non-player characters, adjust the time of day, and tweak the weather for that ideal, striking image. Additionally, fresh stickers and frames are being introduced, the depth-of-field option has been polished, and a brand-new Color Balance tab will allow you to craft your unique custom filters!

Console and PC upgrades

As a gamer myself, if you’re all about that stunning visual experience, mark your calendars! The much-anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 will soon sport AMD FSR 3.1, offering an even more immersive graphical journey once the update drops. And

More cars can use CrystalCoat

If you appreciate the appearance of certain vehicles on the road, then you’ll be glad to know that the CrystalCoat cosmetic option is expanding to additional models from collaborating brands, even motorcycles! This means you’ll have more opportunities to personalize your vehicle with an array of custom colors. Even some economical vehicles can now benefit from this appealing aesthetic upgrade.

Everything else

To complete this update, there’s an extensive collection of adjustments and user experience enhancements for Cyberpunk 2077. These modifications cover various aspects, such as rectifying multiple problems within side-jobs, refining the High Dynamic Range (HDR) settings interface, and resolving numerous visual glitches in the game itself.

  • The game will now detect if the player is using inverted mouse button settings and automatically adjusts in-game button prompts accordingly.

Jobs & Open World

  • Cyberpsycho Sighting: Bloody Ritual – the “Crack the ritualist’s shard” objective now properly disappears from the Journal after completing the objective.
  • Sex on Wheels – now properly appears in the Journal after receiving the message from Jake Estevez.
  • Shot by Both Sides – fixed an issue where selecting a specific dialogue option in the conversation with Bree created a nameless, iconless item in the player’s Inventory.

  • Fixed an issue where the sound of V’s Radioport could be randomly interrupted by the Radioports of nearby NPCs.
  • Fixed an issue where History by Gazelle Twin and Trash Generation played too loudly compared to other songs on the radio.
