Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.3: Self-Driving Rides and Chrome Selfies Galore

Just when Night City thought it couldn't get any shinier, CD Projekt RED drops Update 2.3 like a rogue AI tossing grenades. 😎 This surprise package proves V's playground refuses to flatline, cramming in features that make cybernetic enhancements look almost mundane. Forget DLC-sized expectations – this free update delivers enough chrome-plated goodness to make even Johnny Silverhand crack a rare smile. From cars that drive themselves while you sip synth-coffee to photo modes enabling digital narcissism on steroids, Night City's never felt more alive... or dangerously lazy.

🚘 Your New Chauffeur: Autodrive Mode

Hold H or L3 after setting a destination, and voilà! Your ride transforms into a self-driving paradise while you kick back and admire the neon-drenched skyline. It's perfect for scrolling Braindance clips or practicing your smoldering mercenary stare... until some gonk in a hostile vehicle ruins the vibe and forces manual control. Pro tip: double-tap the luxury by activating Cinematic Camera (Q or Right D-Pad) for breathtaking views that'll make your Instagram followers weep with envy.

🤖 Delamain's Glow-Up Service

Why drive yourself when an overly polite AI can do it? Complete the "Don't Lose Your Mind" mission, and Delamain Cab becomes your permanent Excelsior-tier chauffeur. This loyal android chauffeur now picks you up curb-to-curb, letting you recline while it navigates Night City's chaotic streets. Just don't ask awkward questions about its fragmented personality – enjoy the silence and pretend you don't hear faint sobbing from the glove compartment.

📸 Photo Mode: Now with Extra Vanity

CD Projekt RED knows players want to showcase their chrome. The Expanded Photo Mode unleashes 27 spawnable NPCs (perfect for filling empty alleys with fake crowds), outfit-swapping mid-shoot, and god-like control over weather/time/game speed. Want golden-hour lighting during acid rain? Done. Freeze time while leaping off skyscrapers? Absolutely. This isn't photography; it's digital narcissism perfected.

🚗 Four Sick New Rides (Minus Johnny's Porsche)

Meet your new garage royalty:

Each requires fresh quests blending combat and exploration – no philosophy debates with Keanu, but plenty of action to justify your new wheels.

🔫 Quest-Driven Chrome Acquisition

Those sweet new vehicles? Locked behind gigs making cyberpsycho encounters look tame. Expect sabotage missions against rival gangs, high-speed convoy heists, and tech retrieval runs through radioactive zones. CD Projekt RED cleverly ties progression to gameplay: want the Chevillon? Help nomads reclaim oil fields. Crave the Yaiba? Hack a Militech convoy. No free rides in Night City, choom!

🎨 Paint Jobs for the Masses

Thanks to hacker "Cosmetic_Troll," Rayfield CrystalCoat tech now lets you repaint most vehicles – yes, even motorcycles! Choose from 50+ shades like "Corpo Gold" or "Maelstrom Purple." Exclusions apply: nomad mod-mobiles and mission-specific rides stay factory-colored. Still, watching your Thorton Colby shift from puke-green to neon-pink? Priceless.

❓ People Also Ask...

• Q: Can Autodrive avoid traffic jams?

A: Sadly no – it follows roads like a lost tourist, so gridlock still kills the vibe.

• Q: Do Delamain cabs charge eddies?

A: Nope! Your Excelsior membership means free rides... unless you count existential dread as payment.

• Q: Can photo mode NPCs attack me?

A: They're mannequins with better posture – about as threatening as a vending machine.

🔮 Future Outlook: A Personal Plea

Having sunk 500+ hours into Night City, this amateur edgerunner dreams of one last miracle: multiplayer convoy races through Pacifica. Imagine 12 Vs in tricked-out Caliburns, dodging rogue drones and cyberpsychos while betting eddies mid-drift. CD Projekt RED, if you're listening – let us turn Night City into the world's deadliest Mario Kart arena. I'll even promise not to hack the finish line... probably. 💥
