Alright, so, you know how video games are like this whole other universe, right? CD Projekt Red, those folks behind Cyberpunk 2077, just dropped some juicy news about this 2.3 patch that’s hitting shelves—or, well, digital shelves—on July 17. I’m not even sure I was paying attention, but what stuck was the bit about vehicles and customization. We’re talking three shiny new cars and, wait for it, a customizable motorcycle. Apparently, these babies are yours if you tackle some quests. Nothing’s worse than a checklist masquerading as fun, but don’t sweat it—these don’t mess with your 100% game completion. Or so they say.
Now, here’s where it gets wild. They’re adding this AutoDrive feature, which is probably great if you’re like me and get easily distracted by, you know, virtual sunsets or the baffling physics of a rogue NPC. With a quick set of a waypoint, your ride does all the work while you’re maybe sipping virtual coffee. Weirdly enough, these cars obey traffic laws. So, yeah, go figure—they’ll stop at red lights like good citizens. Ironic though, because I’m pretty sure this world’s dystopian. Apparently combat’s reduced too. Though who’s to say? Maybe you’ll still crash headfirst into chaos.
Delamain’s back in business too with this AI taxi gig. And you’re in for a treat with a roaming mode. Imagine the scenic drive feature from Grand Theft Auto but hopefully with a lot less chaos. Zoom through Night City with a cinematic camera—it’s like being in a movie. Not to mention, you can rock Photo Mode in tandem. I could be wrong, but this smells like Instagram bait. Anyway, you can fiddle with the time and weather for that perfect shot. Plus, they’ve added 27—yeah, very specific number—new NPCs to strike dramatic poses with you.
Those gaming on PC? Some tech-speak incoming but stick with me. They’re rolling out AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 3.1—which sounds fancy—and while you twiddle your thumbs for FSR 4, that’s down the road somewhere. Console players get Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) love soonish. Oh, and Mac users? You’re finally getting in on the action. Multitask with that latte artsy crowd, I guess.
So, July 17’s the date for the update—PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S get it then. Switch 2? It’s in line, but no official timeline. Explore away… and maybe lose a weekend or two to this virtual labyrinth. Or join the Photo Mode contest. Something for everyone, right?
