Well, color me chrome and call me V, because CD Projekt Red just dropped the deets on Cyberpunk 2077's Patch 2.3 – and it's rolling out July 17th! 🎉 Well, for most of us peasants anyway. Turns out Nintendo Switch owners gotta twiddle their cyber-thumbs a bit longer while the rest of us joyride through Night City. Classic, right? Like ordering a synth-burger and watching everyone else eat while your order gets 'delayed by technical difficulties.' Meanwhile, Cyberpunk 2's still brewing in some lab until like 2030 – seriously, I might have grandkids by then. But hey, at least we get shiny new toys to distract us!
🚗 Four New Wheels & Paint Jobs That Scream 'Look at Me!'
Hold onto your neural ports, gearheads! Patch 2.3 isn't just tossing us keys to four fresh rides – oh no, they're making us earn them with new quests. Because nothing says fun like doing chores for digital cars! 😂 But hey, the real kicker? Twin-tone paint jobs for your existing fleet. Finally, I can make my Quadra look like a radioactive watermelon rolling through Kabuki.
People Also Ask: "Can I finally outrun the NCPD in these?" Honestly, choom, probably not – but you'll look fabulous failing!
😴 Autodrive & Delamain: Your New Lazy Best Friends
Confession time: sometimes I just wanna lean back, sip synth-coffee, and watch Night City's neon vomit glow without actually driving. Enter Autodrive – the ultimate "I'm too busy scrolling Braindance memes" feature. And if that’s too much effort? Summon the Delamain Taxi Service! ⚡️ One tap and that unsettlingly polite bald AI chauffeurs you around while judging your life choices. Feels like Uber if Uber was run by a slightly sinister HAL 9000.
People Also Ask: "Does Delamain still talk like a therapist who hates you?" Yes. Yes, he does.
📸 Photo Mode: Because Your V Needs More Glam Shots
New vanity options! More filters, poses, and lighting tweaks than a Corpo influencer’s Instagram. Now I can capture V mid-combat doing jazz hands beside a cyberpsycho. Priorities!
⚡ Performance Upgrades That’ll Melt Your Rig (Literally?)
PC players, rejoice! We’re getting:
| Feature | Why You Care |
|---|---|
| AMD FSR 4 | So your fps doesn’t look like a slideshow |
| Intel XESS 2.0 | For when you want ray tracing and your room to double as a sauna |
| VRR on consoles | Smooth gameplay (unless you’re on Switch lol) |
But heads up: some need driver updates. Translation: more tinkering while your GPU whimpers. 🔥
💔 Nintendo Switch 2 Players: The Eternal Wait
Imagine being the new kid in Night City, hyped for updates... only to watch everyone else party. Oof. Patch 2.3’s delayed on Switch 2, which feels like cruel irony since they’re the ones who’d really appreciate the optimizations. Maybe by the time it drops, we’ll all be playing Cyberpunk 3 in VR.
🤔 Final Thoughts: Is This Enough Till 2030?
Look, it’s not Phantom Liberty-level massive, but for a free update? Four cars, lazy driving, and creepier taxis ain’t bad! Sure, part of me wonders if CDPR’s just teasing us while Cyberpunk 2 simmers for half a decade. People Also Ask: "Will there be more patches before 2030?" Your guess is as good as mine – but hey, at least we can now cruise Pacifica while an AI judges our radio choices. Priorities, people. 🎮
