Cyberpunk 2077 Players Use Patch 2.2's Photo Mode to Hang Game Crash Screenshots on Their Apartment Wall, Recreate Memes, and Unleash Panam-ception

ign.com:

Now Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.2 is out in the wild, players are having fun digging into the new photo mode features to create all sorts of wild and wacky shots.

2.2 vastly improves the photo mode, increasing the scope of the camera while adding improved lighting and the ability to spawn up to three NPCs from a list of 20 characters. There’s a new gallery you can display in your apartment to show off your snaps, too. During a community video, game director Paweł Sasko predicted players would use this to create Panam-ception, and that’s exactly what redditor TheSadDiamond has done.

Speaking of Panam, the popular romance option is the early days focus of Cyberpunk 2077 players’ experiments with the new photo mode, perhaps unsurprisingly, and are using the gallery feature in exactly the way you’d expect.

Redditor Ok-Communication3213 even took a screenshot of Cyberpunk 2077 crashing on PlayStation, and hung that pic up on their apartment wall.

Elsewhere, players are recreating world famous memes with the photo mode.

2.2 expands the character creator to add 112 new assets available for customization of V, and players have discovered that one of these new assets is a scar to reflect the shot to the head V survives during the Cyberpunk 2077 prologue.

And, as CD Projekt predicted, players are using the new NPC spawn feature to get fun shots with Adam Smasher, one of Cyberpunk 2077’s most imposing villains.

CD Projekt had teased secrets to be found in Cyberpunk 2077, and indeed a couple of secrets that were already in the game but so far remain undiscovered. The hunt is very much on, and players are already finding bits here and there that weren’t in the patch notes. Cyberpunk 2077, despite CD Projekt working on the likes of The Witcher 4 and a Cyberpunk sequel, still has plenty of life left in it.
