Let’s be real—Cyberpunk 2077 was supposed to be a technological marvel, not the poster child for “we swear we’ll fix it in post.” And yet, here we are again, unwrapping another update like it’s the Band-Aid hiding our collective trauma. Update 2.3 drops today for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S. And for all five of you who bought a Nintendo Switch 2 (bless your optimism), the Ultimate Edition will be patched sometime later (but is still getting the 2.3 patch today), assuming the Joy-Cons don’t implode first. So, what’s new?
Update 2.3 is being rolled out on Nintendo Switch 2 as we speak! https://t.co/RRtVB4wRvH

Four New Vehicles, Because Night City Traffic Wasn’t Enough
CDPR has thrown in four new rides—each unlocked through quests that range from straightforward to “you better have done your homework.” Here’s the lineup:
- Yaiba ARV-Q340 Semimaru – A side job unlock tied to “The Hunt” and “The Beast In Me.”
- Rayfield Caliburn “Mordred” – Unlocked if you’ve cleared more side content than a completionist with insomnia.
- Yaiba ASM-R250 Muramasa – Buy one Yaiba, three other vehicles, complete a crime scene, don’t screw up the side job, and maybe—maybe—you can ride it.
- Chevillon Legatus 450 Aquila – Just buy it outright. A rare moment of mercy.
AutoDrive: When You’re Too Emotionally Broken To Steer
Now your car can drive itself with the new AutoDrive feature. Just hop in, hold a button, and Night City becomes Uber-dystopia. And if you’ve missed being chauffeured by psychotic AI, Delamain is back, baby—ready to pick you up and question your sanity post-mission.
Want a more cinematic vibe? Activate the Cinematic Camera and watch Night City pass by like it’s the world’s most dangerous screensaver.
CrystalCoat™ Gets Hacked, Because Of Course It Did
Previously a Rayfield-exclusive vanity feature, CrystalCoat™ has now been cracked by an in-universe hacker named “Cosmetic_Troll” (real subtle, CDPR). Now even your trash-tier economy car can shine like a corpo’s wet dream. Unless you’re driving a nomad heap with duct tape holding the engine in—those still don’t qualify.
Photo Mode Now Makes You a God Among NPCs
In a world where shooting everyone is usually Plan A, Photo Mode just got deeper than your average side quest. New features include:
- 27 new NPCs, including Dum Dum, Rita Wheeler, and yes, the iguana.
- Switch outfits for NPCs and for V using your saved Wardrobe.
- More stickers, frames, and camera options than an Instagram filter factory.
- You can now turn just your character’s eyes toward the camera, which isn’t creepy at all.
Mac Players, Rejoice. You’re Finally Welcome at the Table.
Hell has frozen over—Cyberpunk 2077 now runs on Macs with Apple silicon. If you own it on GOG, Steam, or Epic, you’re good to go. Just don’t try running it on a 2015 MacBook Air unless you enjoy suffering.

Quality of Life & Bug Squashing
This patch does more than slap new paint on old problems. Some highlights:
- Photo Mode exit prompt added, so you stop ruining your perfect shot with a fat-fingered button press.
- The game now respects your inverted mouse settings, you absolute freaks.
- You can toggle ADS, because apparently that wasn’t a thing before?
- Fixed a bug where your gun pointed straight at the sky during a mission. Yes, seriously.
- Fixed a radio bug where songs screamed at you like Keanu Reeves was DJ’ing from a jet engine.
- And you can now tell Johnny Silverhand to shut up when he shows up in your car uninvited. Finally, the fantasy of ghosting a dead rockstar is real.
PC-Specific: Nerd Candy Galore
- Full support for AMD FSR 4 (pending a future driver update—so, ya know, soon™).
- FSR 3.1 Frame Generation, Intel XeSS 2.0, and HDR10+ GAMING for those flexing high-end rigs.
- You can now move your cursor to another display while in borderless mode. It’s the little things.
- Save file cap increased from 12MB to 15MB. Huge win for hoarders.
- Fixed a DLSS bug that lied to you harder than a fixer offering “easy eddies.”
Console-Specific: PS5 and Xbox Finally Get Some Love
- Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) now supported.
- PS5 owners: foliage now reacts to weather like it lives in the same game world. Congrats!
Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.3 doesn’t reinvent the wheel but with a hefty mix of fixes, fancy features, and a little love for Mac users (yes, that happened), it might be time to reinstall the game again and let Keanu monologue at you in 4K HDR10+ glory.
We’ll be back here for Update 2.4 in six months. See you in Night City, Chooms.
