Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.3 out now on Switch 2

A major update for Cyberpunk 2077 was released on other platforms earlier in the week, but Switch 2 owners were told to wait. And we didn’t have to wait long, with the patch now available for Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition.

The update adds a bunch of long-requested features, and thankfully, the wait on Switch 2 was only about half a day. This patch introduces new vehicles, an AutoDrive feature, and self-driving cabs. There are also updates to Photo Mode and more.

The patch also includes a range of technical upgrades for other consoles. PlayStation 5 players, for example, now get VRR support—something the Switch 2 version already had.

In our review of the game we said “Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition is the culmination of years of hard work to overcome the game’s rough launch back in 2020. Switch 2 owners now get to enjoy the results of that effort, bundled up and ready to play anywhere — or, of course, on the TV. If you haven’t had the chance to experience this massive open-world RPG yet, there’s no better time than now.”

Vehicles

Added 4 new vehicles, including several Side Jobs tied to acquiring them:

• Yaiba ARV-Q340 Semimaru

Reward from a new side job (to unlock, complete The Hunt and The Beast In Me).

An additional side job unlocks the CrystalCoat™ feature for it.

• Rayfield Caliburn “Mordred”

Reward from a new side job (to unlock, complete The Beast in Me: Badlands, The Beast in Me: Santo Domingo, Transmission, and Search and Destroy).

• Yaiba ASM-R250 Muramasa

Reward from a new side job (to unlock, purchase 1 Yaiba vehicle, purchase at least 3 vehicles through AUTOFIXER, and complete Reported Crime: You Play with Fire…).

If you fail the side job, the vehicle can later be purchased through AUTOFIXER.

• Chevillon Legatus 450 Aquila

Available for purchase on AUTOFIXER.

• Introducing AutoDrive! This cutting-edge, autonomous driving feature will take you to your chosen destination (i.e. job objective or placed pin on the map). If you have no set destination, it will take you on a leisurely ride through the streets of Night City. Simply hop in any of your vehicles, make sure you’re on a road, and hold H (PC) / Left Stick (consoles) to activate. This feature is disabled when you enter combat or when your vehicle is heavily damaged.
• Implemented Cinematic Camera for AutoDrive. Hold Q (PC) / D-Pad Right (consoles) to activate. Sit back and enjoy cinematic views of Night City as you cruise toward your destination.
• Self-driving Delamain cabs are now available on demand! Simply open the menu to call vehicles, then select “Delamain Cab” from the list to request a ride. This feature unlocks after completing the job Don’t Lose Your Mind (regardless of outcome) and receiving a message from Delamain.
• Rayfield’s CrystalCoat™ is now available for vehicles from partner brands, including motorcycles. Additionally, the infamous hacker known as Cosmetic_Troll exploited a vulnerability and created a cracked version of Rayfield’s CrystalCoat™ technology for lower-end vehicles. Please note, however, that some models do not support the technology, such as heavily modded nomad vehicles and job-related vehicles.
• Fixed an issue where unique color schemes did not work properly on the Mizutani Shion MZ1 and MZ2.
• Fixed an issue where unique color scheme could not be applied properly to the Villefort Deleon “Vindicator”.
