Cyberpunk 2077's Patch 2.3: Revving Engines or Just Spinning Wheels?
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
Cyberpunk 2077's getting a 2.3 update, and all the signs point to a vehicular focus, but will it be a smooth ride or another bumpy detour? Guess we'll find out tomorrow!
Alright, choombas, brace yourselves! Cyberpunk 2077, that game that's been through more ups and downs than a Corpo's stock portfolio, is gearing up for another update. According to Eurogamer, Patch 2.3 is hitting the streets (or, well, our screens) this week, and all signs point to it being a vehicle-centric affair.
Now, hold your horses (or should I say, your Quadras). CD Projekt Red, in their infinite wisdom, initially teased this update way back in June, promising it'd be something akin to last year's 2.2 release. That one gave us photo mode tweaks, car customization, and those sweet, sweet Autofixer rides. But then, *poof*, delay! They needed "more time." More time to polish those chrome bumpers, perhaps?
But what's actually under the hood this time? Well, Eurogamer points to some rather *obvious* hints from CD Projekt Red themselves. Their announcement practically screams "CARS!" with phrases like "driving into Patch 2.3" and references to "what's under the hood". Subtle, eh?
The big reveal is happening tomorrow, July 16th, on Twitch and YouTube, featuring associate game director Paweł Sasko and Virtuos' lead designer, Adrien Jouannet. Virtuos, you say? Ah yes, the rumour mill's been grinding about them working on some Cyberpunk 2077 DLC. Could this be the prelude to something bigger?
And let's not forget, Night City's had a recent, *ahem*, surprising port to the Switch 2, and we've got a second season of the downright depressing Edgerunners anime on the horizon. Oh, and then there's the small matter of Cyberpunk 2, the sequel that's so far off, it's practically a myth.
So, is this car-focused update going to be a game-changer, or just another coat of wax on a slightly dented ride? Only time will tell. But one thing's for sure: I'll be watching that livestream with a healthy dose of skepticism and a whole lotta hope. Because, let's be honest, we all want Cyberpunk 2077 to finally reach its full potential.
