CD Projekt Red has officially delayed Cyberpunk 2077’s Update 2.3, which was originally set to drop on June 26. Now it’s just floating in limbo with no new date in sight. Still, while some fans might be bummed, let’s be real: after the Phantom Liberty expansion wrapped things up nicely, most of us assumed Night City had closed for renovations.
Hey chooms,
We initially hoped to put Update 2.3 in your hands on June 26. However, we'll need some more time to make sure we're happy with it — we're aiming for a scope similar to Update 2.2. We'll update you further as soon as we can!

CDPR hasn’t spilled much about what’s actually in Update 2.3, except that it’ll be “about the same size” as the last one. So, don’t expect a second metro system or anything.
Speaking of which, Update 2.2 came out on the game’s third birthday back in December 2024 and was less of a game-changer and more of a glow-up. It gave players 100 new character customization options, let you spawn NPCs in photo mode, add reactive paint to your cars, and—because why not—threw Johnny Silverhand into your passenger seat for some unwanted carpool karaoke. Oh, and there was also a Balatro-inspired quest that no one asked for but was weirdly charming.
The patch before that, Update 2.1, had a lot more meat on the chrome skeleton: a fully operational metro, car combat, romantic hangouts, and the life-altering ability to listen to the radio literally anywhere. It was basically Night City’s version of a midlife crisis makeover.
As for what’s next? Nobody knows, as CDPR isn’t saying much. There’s always a chance Update 2.3 is hiding some secret content, like a quest tucked behind a vending machine or a teaser for the next Cyberpunk game. Rumors are already swirling that the sequel might trade neon-lit chaos for a more apocalyptic, lawless version of Chicago—which sounds like a place where even your cyberware might get mugged.
Until CDPR says more, the safest bet is to hold off on another 100-hour replay, because who knows what 2.3 might quietly shove into your brain implant next.
