The video covers the release of Cyberpunk 2077’s Patch 2.2, titled the “Express Yourself Update,” which introduces significant cosmetic changes, improved vehicle customization options, and an enhanced photo mode, while also causing some existing mods to break. It hints at the uncertain future of the game, mentioning CD Projekt Red’s collaboration with Virtuous Games and speculating on potential upcoming content and projects related to the Cyberpunk universe.
The video discusses the recent release of the Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.2, titled the “Express Yourself Update,” which is a significant download, varying in size across platforms. PC players experienced a 25 GB download on Steam, while some faced up to 82 GB on GOG. Xbox players had a 37 GB update, and PS5 players had two separate downloads for the base game and the Phantom Liberty expansion. Initially, Xbox players encountered issues where Phantom Liberty wouldn’t load due to an error, but a follow-up update resolved this problem.
Patch 2.2 introduces numerous changes, many of which focus on cosmetic updates and the integration of popular PC mods into the game. However, this has resulted in many existing mods breaking, which may take weeks or months to fix. CD Projekt Red (CDPR) is aware of these issues and has provided a new Steam beta branch for players who prefer to stick with the previous version. The update also includes some hidden features that players are encouraged to explore further in upcoming videos.
One of the most notable additions in this patch is the revamped vehicle customization options. The Crystal Coat feature, which allows for enhanced vehicle customization, has been improved and expanded to more vehicles, including motorcycles. Players can now enjoy independent sliders for color strength and grayscale, enabling more creative combinations. Additionally, a new feature called Twin Tone allows players to scan and store unique paint jobs from other vehicles, which can help evade police by changing the vehicle’s appearance.
The update also enhances the photo mode significantly, offering new features such as expanded drone mode, disabling collisions for better angles, and the ability to spawn additional characters for photo shoots. Players can now see their captured images displayed in their apartments, adding a personal touch to the game. Moreover, the character creator received a major overhaul with 100 new customization options, including new eye colors, tattoos, and face cyberware, though no new hairstyles were added.
Finally, the video hints at the uncertain future of Cyberpunk 2077, mentioning that CDPR has collaborated with Virtuous Games to produce this update. This partnership raises questions about the potential for more updates or content in the future. The video concludes with speculation about upcoming surprises from CDPR, including the possibility of mod support and new projects related to the Cyberpunk universe, such as an anime and a live-action series.
