Cyberpunk 2077's surprise new update lets Keanu ride shotgun through the streets of Night City and makes some PC-specific improvements—and it's out now

pcgamer.com:

CD Projekt shared details on the surprise Cyberpunk 2077 2.2 update today, including new vehicle customization options, major enhancements to photo mode, and more—and another surprise, that it's out now.

Sorry, no New Game+ in this update, but car collectors will be happy to hear that the color-changing CrystalCoat system, previously exclusive to Rayfield vehicles, is now available on Herrera, Mizutani, Quadra, and Villefort machines. There's also a new TwinTone system that enables players to scan cars with their Kiroshi optics, save the vehicle's color scheme—«for a small fee,» of course—and then use the scheme on other vehicles through the CrystalCoat menu.

A new look is its own reward, but there's an oddly familiar practical value on the table too: Change your car's paint job on the fly and you'll lower your NCPD wanted level too. (That's assuming that you're not in the midst of some unfortunate entanglement with the boys in blue—you'll have to put some distance between yourself and them for the quick-change routine to work.)

There's also a selection of new vehicles available for purchase from Autofixer:

My favorite part of the vehicle-related updates is that you'll also have an opportunity to enjoy the company of a new passenger. Instead of just riding around in your head, Johnny Silverhand will ride shotgun while you're cruising, and will drop occasional comments or reactions to what's happening around you.

There's also plenty to enjoy for virtual photographers. Cyberpunk 2077's photo mode has been overhauled to add numerous community-requested features, and new SmartFrames (by Kiroshi, naturally) will let you hang your favorite shots in V's apartments.

New photo mode features:

Cyberpunk 2077 2.2 also includes a range of new character customization options and the addition of a «Plain-to-Punk» slide to the randomizer that will give you a little more control over what exactly you're looking for when you're rolling the dice on your look.
