It is always fun to be able to come across some secret, hidden side jobs and events in a game like , and there are a lot of them tucked away in different nooks and crannies of Night City and Dogtown. Developers at CD Projekt Red seem to enjoy slipping even more in with each big update to the game, enticing people to explore anew with each change to fully experience all the details that have been tweaked. The game features a lot of lore and detailed backstories of various NPCs and events, and many of these extra narratives are uncovered only through seeking out these hidden surprises.
Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.1 continues the work Phantom Liberty did to bring Night City to life
04.12.2023 - 22:01 / gamesradar.com / Projekt Red
Sci-fi RPG Cyberpunk 2077 is an ambitious game with history as up-and-down as its prickly protagonist's mood. The game deflated expectations almost immediately after launch in 2020, disappointing would-be fans with its glitches and fiddly combat. Putting a bow on its comeback arc, developer CD Projekt Red recently released its Phantom Liberty expansion and update 2.0. Now, the game feels deserving of its pre-launch hype, and its unexpected new patch 2.1 happily continues this trend.
Some of the most exciting parts of Patch 2.1 are its efforts to push immersion. There are still bug fixes as usual – most notably, one fixes a Phantom Liberty soft-lock where some Suspected Organized Crime Activities in Dogtown wouldn't spawn, and another tidies a Patch 2.02 fix that should have stopped the screen from going black after players call the nurse. There are also now five more bikes for purchase and one new car, the compact Porsche 911 Cabriolet.
But you can also now fast travel across 19 train stations, or choose to let V relax in the train car, staring out the window as Night City's glass buildings woosh by. Look even closer with sightseeing binoculars, which have been added to "various scenic spots," CDPR writes in its notes, to help you better "appreciate Night City's vistas." Soundtrack these movie moments on the train, or on your long walks, by using the new Radioport feature, which lets you access your car radio up until any quest-specific music blares.
Music can also help you set the mood for any of V's love interests, who you can now invite back to your apartment in a "repeatable, unlimited event," CDPR says, "that becomes available once the romance path with a given character has concluded." For a night cap, you can now sit at a bar and interact with the bartender, or use the decorative vendors that appear in some kiosks.
Less idyllic, but still quite immersive, is a change that makes gang members pursue you if V acts aggressively toward them during quests. Similarly, gigs in which you steal a car could trigger car chases or combat, reinforcing the consequences that CDPR talked up for Phantom Liberty's big patch.
As it sends off Cyberpunk 2077 and eyes The Witcher 4, CDPR wants its games to be "something that we've never made at this scale."

The Washington Post tried to buy Wordle before the New York Times did
Wordle was a lockdown phenomenon: one of those games that, merits aside, simply landed at the right time. I've kicked the habit now but like pretty much everyone else I had a Wordle phase with the family WhatsApp group and, yes, when I'm nearly out of chances I have gone running to my six-letter friend Google. Wordle's enormous popularity was such that, in January 2022, the New York Times purchased the game from creator Josh Wardle for a sum «in the low seven figures.»

All Apartments In Cyberpunk 2077, Ranked Worst To Best
isn't exactly a cozy home decorating game, yet there are several different apartments that V can call home over the course of their time in the game. V begins with one default apartment but has many options open up to them, including one that is part of the DLC deep in the heart of Dogtown. Each of these possible living quarters varies drastically in location, comfort, style, and cost, including a few that are free, particularly those related to romantic relationships with NPCs.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Reveals V's First Kill, Changes Based On Lifepath
Cyberpunk 2077 gives you quite a lot of freedom when making your character, giving you one of three backstories to pick which radically alters events in the game. These backstories do much more than simply change the game's opening though, and the recently released Phantom Liberty expansion even alters new details about V based on whether you picked the Corpo, Street Kid, or Nomad lifepaths.

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.
