Cyberpunk 2077 Is Getting Its "Last Big Update" This Week
04.12.2023 - 15:17 / thegamer.com
Cyberpunk 2077 is getting its last major update tomorrow, as CD Projekt Red moves away from the three-year-old RPG. It will add a bunch of fan-requested features, like a portable radio, more bikes, and a functioning metro system.
Patch 2.1 is set to go live tomorrow, the same day that Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition launches. This will be the first current-gen physical release of the game, having previously just launched on PS4 and Xbox One discs.
CD Projekt Red just clarified to IGN that "Update 2.1 is meant to be the last big update". While this doesn't mean that the studio is pulling support entirely, it does suggest that we shouldn't expect any other new features to be added, as devs are likely to pivot to bug fixes instead.
Patch 2.1 being the last big update isn't too surprising. It's already been confirmed that the next Cyberpunk game will enter development next year, and that's not even getting into all the work being done on the next Witcher title. The company certainly has its hands full.
It's not clear if this ongoing support will include performance improvements too, especially as the Xbox Series S still struggles to run Phantom Liberty in places, at least in my experience. Over on PS5, the most major save file-related issues in Phantom Liberty have been addressed, so no one should lose progress anymore.
Back to the version 2.1 update, it's likely to be a crowd-pleaser. A useable metro system has been a popular request for years, with some fans already modding one into the game. Now, everyone will be able to use it, and the devs even teased that we might run into some encounters while we travel across the city on public transport. If you get a quiet journey, however, you can just sit back with the new portable radio and listen to some tunes, all while soaking in the atmosphere.
One far less relaxing change comes to us in the form of reworked boss fights. Many of these encounters have been overhauled, specifically to increase the difficulty. Adam Smasher was signalled out as one of the bosses receiving changes after fans complained that his fight was too easy. Now, he'll pull out some of the moves he used in the Edgerunners anime - and we can all remember how that went down. It will at least make dealing the final blow all the more satisfying, although we'll have to see if this fight lives up to the hype when the update goes live tomorrow.

Cyberpunk 2077’s Final Major Update Brings Metro Service, Romantic Hangouts, Improved Bosses, More
Cyberpunk 2077 is getting the last major update before developer CD Projekt Red moves on to the next project. Dubbed ‘Update 2.1,' the patch finally brings the long-requested metro system, the ability to hang out with romantic partners, radios, and a ton of quality-of-life changes. It drops alongside the Ultimate Edition on December 5 at 4:30pm IST in India/ 12pm CET in Europe. Bear in mind that this is a free downloadable update, so it won't be included natively in the physical disc versions releasing on the PS5 and Xbox Series S/X. That said, the 2.0 Update released in September will be included across all versions, entirely overhauling the perk system and adding a range of tech augmentations, which weren't present in the original 2020 version.
