Cyberpunk 2077 Update: New Features Revealed

In an unexpected turn of events, CD Projekt Red has announced a surprise update for Cyberpunk 2077, titled Update 2.2. This announcement comes nearly a year after what was believed to be the game's final update. The news was shared during a special episode of REDstreams on December 10, 2024, marking the fourth anniversary of the game's launch.

Despite moving most of their developers to other projects like Project Polaris (The Witcher 4) and Project Orion (the Cyberpunk sequel), CD Projekt Red revealed that they still had "some gas in the tank" for Cyberpunk 2077. This update aims to introduce new features and improvements that fans have been eagerly awaiting.

One of the key highlights of Update 2.2 is the addition of new features, although specifics were not fully disclosed during the initial announcement. However, it was confirmed that the update would not include PS5 Pro support or a New Game Plus mode, much to the disappointment of some players. Marcin Momot, the global community director, clarified these points on social media, stating that while these features were not part of the update, there were still "cool stuff in the oven."

The announcement was made via a livestream on both Twitch and YouTube, where the developers promised to dive deep into the new features coming to the game. This move has sparked excitement and speculation within the community, as players are eager to see what CD Projekt Red has in store for Night City.

The surprise update is a testament to CD Projekt Red's commitment to Cyberpunk 2077, despite the game's rocky launch and the shift of focus to other major projects. The developers have continued to support the game with patches and updates, culminating in the well-received Phantom Liberty expansion.

As the gaming community awaits further details, it's clear that Cyberpunk 2077 still holds a special place in the hearts of both the developers and the players. The upcoming features and improvements in Update 2.2 are expected to enhance the overall experience and bring new life to the streets of Night City.

Stay tuned for more updates and detailed patch notes as CD Projekt Red continues to refine and expand the world of Cyberpunk 2077.
