While it’s always worth starting a new game ofCyberpunk 2077just to hear Judy say “his own choomba shot him!” for the thirtieth time, there’s now a slightly more tangible reason to start a new journey into Night City’sopen world. Update 2.2 went live yesterday, bringing with it a host of fixes, as well as some deeper customisation options for both your character and vehicles. The base game is also 55% offon Steamuntil the 18th of December, with the Phantom Liberty expansion at 20% off, or both in a 48% off bundle. Cyberpunk is on sale often enough, although these current discounts line up with the cheapest it’s ever been on Steam. Again:worth it for the line.

There are also ten more cars available to buy, and Johnny will sometimes appear in the passenger seat after the first act to “comment on and react to what’s happening” (driving):
Kiroshi presents TWINTONE™! As CrystalCoat™ continues to gain in popularity, TWINTONE™ takes your paint jobs to the next level. Simply scan a car with your Kiroshi optics, switch to the TWINTONE™ tab, then save the vehicle’s color scheme for a small fee. You’ll then be able to select the scheme in the TWINTONE™ database under the CrystalCoat™ menu. There, you’ll also find generic color schemes for all CrystalCoat™-compatible vehicles as well as unique color schemes exclusive to the vehicle model from which they were copied. Please note that color scheme cloning is not authorized on vehicles that are linked to quests, belong to the NCPD or that are incompatible with CrystalCoat™ tech.
I’d make a comment about how the ‘obnoxious Cyberpunk advertising’ bit doesn’t really work when you’re actually selling something but I think we’re probably way past that point. As for character customisation, they’ve added a lot, including 32 eye colours, 4 scars, 8 cosmetic bits of face cyberware, and 2 body tattoos. Amusingly, there’s also a new “Plain-to-Punk slider” that’ll let you easily tinker with your corpo-to-rockergirl ratio.
Here’s a few PC-specific additions too.
So, all in all a good time to pick up Cyberpunk if you’re still holding out, but that’s been progressively truer with each patch, culminating in a great expansion. Here’s Graham’sPhantom Libertyreview if you’re still on the fence. “If you’ve never played Cyberpunk 2077 before and buy the expansion, Phantom Liberty is an absurdly lush, thrilling, 20-hour-long side quest,” wrote he. “If you have played it before, it’s an unmissable opportunity to check in on old friends, and to make a few new ones, in Night City.”
