Now that we have an official release date for the Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 update, the next question is, what’s coming in the update?
Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 Update aims to provide a massive revamp to the base game. There’s going to be a complete overhaul of the perk system with the addition of brand-new perks. Players will be able to respec their characters with previously earned points.
The highlight of the update is the revamped police system. Police will be more aggressive now, and they’ll do their best to ram you off the road, set up roadblocks, and even send out bosses if you reach a certain level.
There’s also the introduction of vehicle combat, which now allows players to shoot SMGs and pistols out of car windows or on motorcycles. You can engage in car chases while firing at your car pursuers and even target drivers/passengers, fuel tanks, and tires.
There’s also a general improvement to loot, item, and crafting systems. Players can also expect to see new radio stations and UI improvements.
And that’s pretty much everything CD Projekt Red had to say about Cyberpunk 2077’s 2.0 Update. It’s going to be interesting to see if Cyberpunk can finally deliver on what it promised with these major updates to the game. Be sure to follow us for more Cyberpunk 2077 update news and guides.
