Cyberpunk 2077 has rolled out Patch 2.31 for players across all platforms, bringing a host of bug fixes related to useful in-game features, such as AutoDrive and Photo Mode. It is the first Cyberpunk 2077 patch since July, which saw the release of the content-rich Update 2.3.
Even after almost five years, Cyberpunk 2077 is still going strong, attracting tons of players every day on Steam alone. Throughout this time, CD Projekt Red has shipped a highly rated expansion and multiple major updates in an effort to significantly improve the open-world RPG, which was originally criticized for its disappointing launch state. Its latest move to renew Cyberpunk 2077's appeal led to the emergence of Update 2.3, which added new traversal features, an enhanced photo mode, and a few quests, among other things.
Cyberpunk 2077 2.4 Should Take the Leash Off Its Most Valuable Stat
There are many ways that Cyberpunk 2077's 2.4 update can improve the game, but letting one stat loose could bring some fun chaos.
Following the successful roll-out of Update 2.3, CDPR devs shipped Patch 2.31 for Cyberpunk 2077, mostly addressing the issues affecting certain newly added features. For starters, the AutoDrive facility will now take players "smoothly" to a selected spot on the map, without stopping at traffic lights and while overtaking vehicles that block the route. For patrons of the Delamain Cab Service, one of the highlights of Cyberpunk 2077's Update 2.3, the issue causing Johnny Silverhand to always appear in the passenger seat has been resolved.
Moving on to Photo Mode, a significant number of the poses introduced in July's update have been made compatible with any gender. The NPCs in this mode can now be used with greater freedom, thanks to a new tweak that makes it easier to put them on top of cars and other objects. Moreover, a number of bugs present in certain Cyberpunk 2077 side quests, namely Freedom, Motorbreath, and Nitro (Youth Energy), have been addressed in the latest patch. Included among these are a few crucial ones that previously stopped progression in the Motorbreath minor job. Some localization problems and graphical issues concerned with ray tracing have also been resolved. In particular, the macOS port of the game has been further improved with several optimizations and stability fixes.
Since Update 2.3 dropped, Cyberpunk 2077 has experienced a major popularity boost, with its Steam concurrent players breaching the 84K mark in August, the highest for the game since December 2023. With the plethora of technical fixes and other adjustments packed in its new patch, the devs may be able to sustain these numbers at least for the time being. Such continued player engagement will likely come in handy when CDPR eventually holds its Cyberpunk 2 reveal, which may still be a few years away from now given that the sequel only recently entered pre-production.
