submitted 11 months ago by Kovu@lemmy.world to c/cyberpunk2077@lemmy.world

Update 2.1 for Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty on PC, PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S is coming out tomorrow (December 5th) around 12 PM CET.

The update brings our usual bug fixes, changes and gameplay improvements. It also adds some of the most-requested features, such as the NCART metro, radioport, repeatable car races, hangouts with romantic interests, cats, and more!

In preparation for the update's release tomorrow, check out the list of changes below.

New features

V's issue with their NCART City Pass is resolved and they can now travel between the 19 metro stations located throughout Night City on 5 different lines via fast travel or riding the train itself while gazing out the window and watching the world go by.

V will now be able to invite their love interest to spend some time together in any of the apartments. Hangouts are a repeatable, unlimited event that become available once the romance path with a given character has concluded.
You can now listen to the radio while on foot (or while riding the NCART train) using the new Radioport feature. Available while you explore, it switches seamlessly to car radio whenever you get in a vehicle and turns off when quest-specific music starts playing. It is now also possible to adjust the volume directly in the radio window.

Added replayable car races V can take part in after finishing The Beast in Me. Look for race flag icons on the map and win the races to get eddies and a discount for the Autofixer website. Additionally, we improved the racers' AI to make them more competitive and made enhancements so that the whole experience is much more fun!
Sightseeing binoculars in various scenic spots have been added as another way to appreciate Night City's vistas.

Vehicles & Traffic

Opened the previously closed-off highway that spans Westbrook, Santo Domingo and Heywood.

I like official updates more than mods, it's all been disabled baby!

[-] buskbrand@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

Most mods I can temporarily do without, but Smarter Scrapper is the exception - life's too short to spend several minutes going through the inventory and manually disassembling lower-tier gear.

I'll check if it still works, if not, time to take a short break.
