Cyberpunk 2077 Gets a Surprise Update with Major New Features
CD Projekt Red has dropped update 2.2, packed with exciting new content and features that promise to breathe new life into the game.
What’s New in Update 2.2?
Here’s a quick rundown of the highlights:
- Over 100 New Customization Options for your character, V.
- Expanded Photo Mode Features, allowing players to capture even more striking visuals of Night City.
- Unique Vehicle Upgrades, including a paint-matching system that lets you scan cars to replicate their colors on your own ride.

The update is available for free on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC. For Mac users, CD Projekt Red has confirmed that the game will finally launch on their platform soon.
My Perspective: A Glimmering Comeback
I’ll admit, Cyberpunk 2077 has been quite the rollercoaster. From its controversial launch to its redemption arc, the game has had its fair share of drama. But updates like 2.2 show CD Projekt Red’s commitment to delivering the Night City they originally envisioned.
The new features, especially Johnny as a car companion, feel like a love letter to fans who stuck around. Plus, the paint-matching system for vehicles? That’s a detail I didn’t know I wanted until now.
Time to dust off that Mantis Blade, scan some cars, and hit the streets. Night City, here we come—again!
