Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.1 Features

Adds a full NCART (Night City Area Rapid Transit) metro system to the game, allowing players to travel around Night City via public transport.

Metros can still be used as fast travel points, but actually getting on one results in a much more cinematic experience where you travel in real time, looking out of windows and engaging with NPCs

Adds an on-person radio, or Radioport, which lets you listen to the game’s existing radio stations while exploring Night City on foot or via the metro

The Radioport will be disabled during some quests that have specific music, and during key conversations

The Radioport’s volume can be adjusted

Improved boss fights, including a much more powerful Adam Smasher, who now uses his Sandevistan implant like in the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime

Adds replayable car races that become available after finishing Claire’s questline; you can win money and vehicle discounts

Adds a bunch of new vehicles to buy, including an open-top Porsche

You can now throw knives and axes while riding motorcycles

Motorcycle driving has been reworked, with leans, wheelies, and tricks

Enemy factions will now hunt you down after completing certain gigs, engaging in more vehicular battles

Adds a new accessibility tab in the options menu, including new settings for clearer HUD visuals, and customization for puzzle time limits

Adds hangouts with romantic partners

    Once again showing that the game was rushed and incomplete at launch. I’m happy that the features are here but I really wish they had delayed it so we could have had some of this at launch.

    Don’t get me wrong, love the game!!

      Witcher 3 routinely dips down to like $5 these days, so if you’re willing to wait another 10 years or so you can really get a killer deal!

        I first played Witcher 3 sometime around when Cyberpunk came out. By then, my PC ran it at a nice steady 1080p 120 Hz or something. I’ve got time.

        That game is 10+ years old??? Jesus

        Edit: Witcher 3 came out 8 years ago in 2015. That’s still longer than I thought.

    Are they going to continue to add more to this game with updates or DLC or is this it? I haven’t really paid attention to it I’ve just heard it’s no man’s sky all over again so I wanna wait until it’s fully done before I buy it.

      This is pretty much it. I recall hearing the devs say they’re going to finish up some minor updates post-Phantom Liberty before calling it a day. I’m surprised they even came out with this.

      Once they officially call it quits with CP77 soon, they will complete a currently ongoing reorganization of the company: RedEngine will be abandoned in favor of UE5, devs who want to work on Witcher 4 will remain in Poland to do that (many have already started apparently). Devs working on the next Cyberpunk game will follow Pawel Sasko to Boston and open CDPR North America, starting work on that game there.

      2.0 was the last major update they said, and I think we might also get 2.2 because fsr3 was promised, before they are done. they do have cyberpunk orion to work on so.

    Meanwhile the modders who have worked really hard on adding many of these features already

      Sad part is everything needed was already in the game. A modder figured out how to turn it on a couple years back. CDPR left it disabled likely due to stability issues. So must finally be all ironed out.

        I doubt it was finished finished - the mod uses workarounds for the cart, they’re literally the bus model when viewed from the inside.

        What’s more perplexing is an immersive breathing system was complete but cut, later added with mods. The modder said all they did was literally add breathing=1 to the config or something equally simple.

    Whoa it’s almost a complete game, only another year of dev and it can leave early access
