What's next for Cyberpunk 2077 1.7 update after Edgerunners? Possible release date, expected changes, and more

sportskeeda.com:

Now that Cyberpunk 2077's September 1.6 updates have been released, it’s time to look towards the next major set of changes. Unfortunately, there is no confirmed date for Cyberpunk 2077’s next major update, but it’s likely to be released in 2023, considering the weight of the tweaks that are planned for the future of CD Projekt Red's title.

While the game had a very turbulent launch, it has since recovered, thanks to the massive 1.5 update, as well as the popularity of the Cyberpunk: Edgerunnersanime. The title has never been this popular, which is all thanks to these changes. But what can players expect in the future?

Quite a few major updates have been discussed as items that are on the way to the game. But considering the time between the last two updates, it is estimated to have an early 2023 release date. February 2022 saw the release of version 1.5, and Cyberpunk 2077’s 1.6 update dropped in September.

These things can always change, but an interview with Game Director Gabe Amatangelo has highlighted a few updates. The previous update was used to set the groundwork for future iterations, with Gabe also speaking about a few of these upcoming changes.

One major feature that players can look forward to in the future is an overhaul of the cop system. Alongside this, there are also plans to update MaxTac, the sub-group of the police force that hunts down and deals with cyberpsychos.

At launch, the police were simply broken, so it is likely that they could get more aggressive and possibly helpful, going forward. Vehicular combat is planned for the game as well, which will let players fight while driving.

It’s worth noting that a mod for the PC version of Cyberpunk 2077 has already allowed players to use weapons while driving,
