Cyberpunk 2077 Adds AutoDrive, Taxis and More Alongside the Ultimate Edition's Launch on Mac


CD Projekt RED
has announced Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.3; a free update that adds new features such as AutoDrive for cars, a new taxi service, enhancements to the previously released Photo Mode, new quests, new vehicles, and more.

This update will release alongside the Mac launch of Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition on July 17th, and will be available on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S. It will release on Nintendo Switch 2 at a later date.

About:

Players can now sit back and relax and let their vehicle do the work. While driving an owned vehicle, it is now possible to choose or create a map marker and enable AutoDrive to navigate to the destination completely hands-free. Night City’s premier driverless taxi service is fully operational now too thanks to the ability to summon a Delamain cab, choose a destination, and then let Delamain chauffeur players to their destination — for an appropriate eurodollar fee, of course. While using either means of transport, various cinematic camera angles can also be enjoyed, allowing passengers to take in Night City in a whole new light.

For those who prefer to take the wheel themselves, brand new vehicles have also been added with Update 2.3 in the form of a motorcycle and three new cars — including the brand-new Yaiba Semimaru from the Cyberpunk 2077: Kickdown comic! These vehicles can be unlocked by completing associated quests.

A plethora of new settings and customization options have also been added to Photo Mode. It is now possible to customize the weather and time of day to obtain the perfect shot, while also choosing from a greater selection of NPCs, outfits, and poses. New stickers and frames have also been added, and players now can now customize how NPCs look at the camera during shooting, with greater control over heads, eyes, and shoulders during any pose, bringing deeper command over every shot.

In addition, new technology features have been added with Update 2.3, including VRR support consoles, AMD FSR4 support, AMD FSR 3.1 Frame Generation, Intel XeSS 2.0, improved HDR settings, and more.

Full Patch Notes:

Experience Night City in a whole new way — this patch introduces 4 new vehicles, the AutoDrive feature, self-driving Delamain cabs and more! It also contains updates for CrystalCoat™ and Photo Mode, as well as support for AMD FSR 3.1 Frame Generation, Intel XeSS 2.0 and HDR10+ Gaming on PC, among others.

Update 2.3 also brings Cyberpunk 2077 to a whole new platform: Mac with Apple silicon! The game can be purchased via the Mac App Store and other PC storefronts. If you already own the game via GOG.com, Steam or the Epic Games Store, you can play it on your compatible device.

Vehicles

Added 4 new vehicles, including several Side Jobs tied to acquiring them:

  • Yaiba ARV-Q340 Semimaru

Reward from a new side job (to unlock, complete The Hunt and The Beast In Me).

An additional side job unlocks the CrystalCoat™ feature for it.

  • Chevillon Legatus 450 Aquila


Available for purchase on AUTOFIXER.

  • Introducing AutoDrive! This cutting-edge, autonomous driving feature will take you to your chosen destination (i.e. job objective or placed pin on the map). If you have no set destination, it will take you on a leisurely ride through the streets of Night City. Simply hop in any of your vehicles, make sure you're on a road, and hold H (PC) / Left Stick (consoles) to activate. This feature is disabled when you enter combat or when your vehicle is heavily damaged.

  • Self-driving Delamain cabs are now available on demand! Simply open the menu to call vehicles, then select "Delamain Cab" from the list to request a ride. This feature unlocks after completing the job Don't Lose Your Mind (regardless of outcome) and receiving a message from Delamain.
  • Rayfield's CrystalCoat™ is now available for vehicles from partner brands, including motorcycles. Additionally, the infamous hacker known as Cosmetic_Troll exploited a vulnerability and created a cracked version of Rayfield's CrystalCoat™ technology for lower-end vehicles. Please note, however, that some models do not support the technology, such as heavily modded nomad vehicles and job-related vehicles.
