Cyberpunk 2077's latest patch is now live, adds new character customization options and a new vehicle paint job database
Despite claiming it was done adding new updates to the game, CD Projekt Red has revealed the details for its surprise Cyberpunk 2077 patch.
In a new REDStream today, the studio announced that Update 2.2 is now live across all platforms and is primarily aimed at implementing new ways for players to «express themselves».
