Cyberpunk 2077, the ever evolving open-world RPG developed by CD PROJEKT RED, is set to receive a new update – version 2.1 – this December.

A City Wide Fully Functional NCART Metro System
One of the key additions in Update 2.1 is the introduction of a fully functional NCART metro system.
This new feature will provide players with a more relaxed mode of transportation, allowing them to explore the dangerous megalopolis of Night City while enjoying the stunning views along the way. The metro system will offer a convenient and immersive way to navigate the city, adding further depth to the already immersive world of Cyberpunk 2077.
Radioport – Extend Your Music Experience
Another feature coming with the update is Radioport, which allows players to enjoy the eclectic musical vibes of Cyberpunk 2077’s selection of radio stations beyond the confines of their chosen vehicle.
Whether players are taking a peaceful walk through the city center or engaging in other activities, they can now immerse themselves in a vibrant and diverse range of music. This feature adds another layer of immersion to the game, enhancing the overall player experience.
Hangouts with Cyberpunk 2077 Romantic Partners
Update 2.1 also introduces the opportunity for players to spend quality time with their in-game romantic partners. Players will now be able to invite their significant other to V’s apartment, where they can enjoy intimate moments and create deeper connections.
This feature adds a touch of realism and enhances the emotional depth of the game, allowing players to further engage with their characters and the relationships they have built throughout the game.
Additional Chases and Replayable Car Races
For fans of high-speed action and exhilarating car races, Update 2.1 brings a host of new challenges.
Players can now participate in additional chases and replay car races for further rewards and discounts on the Autofixer website, where they purchase cars. This addition adds more variety and excitement to the gameplay, giving players the chance to test their driving skills and race against other NPCs in the sprawling streets of Night City.
Boss Fight Improvements
Update 2.1 also includes improvements to boss fights, with a particular focus on the late-game Adam Smasher fight. The AI of Smasher has been enhanced, making the fight more challenging and engaging. Additionally, Smasher is now equipped with a Sandevistan, a device seen in the award-winning anime Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
