Cyberpunk 2077 version 2.1 is the last big update, for reals

"Wheeeeeee!" - me on Night City's new metro trains, probably.

Despite version 2.0 supposedly being the last big update for Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt Red is bringing us one last hurrah. As well as implementing a number of fixes, the latest patch brings with it fresh ideas to see things out before the studio moves onto new games.

To go with the Ultimate Edition that’s also been released, update 2.1 has added a few changes today. You can check out the video below for an overview. Some of the things now in Cyberpunk 2077 include a metro system, hangouts with partners, new vehicles, better vehicle combat, improved boss fights, and more.

You can also read the full patch notes to see what else has been done in this latest version. As you can see, it’s no small feat, encompassing a veritable laundry list of tweaks, fixes, and changes. The update should be rolling out as we speak.

Is this it for Cyberpunk now?

CDPR recently said it’s ramped up the team size for the new Witcher saga. On top of that, Community Director for the studio, Marcin Momot, has said that 2.1 represents “one more patch” for the game. After this, the team will be focusing on future projects, of which there are quite a few.

That’s not to say Cyberpunk will be abandoned entirely. At least not for the immediate future. The game is about to turn three-years old, and CD Projekt Red will probably want to keep things ticking over for a bit longer. However, the developer is now thinking about what’s coming next, which includes working on a sequel to Cyberpunk.

For now, we at least get one last crack at some new changes in Night City. Make your next playthrough count, as it’s almost certainly the last major update the game will be getting. For real this time.
