Don’t miss these

Cyberpunk 2077 patch 2.3’s new driving modes are inspired by chill YouTube videos of people cruising through Night City, and the GTA 5 fan in me is thrilled

From NG+ to full-body cyberware, here are 5 realistic Cyberpunk 2077 requests I’d love to see in the next update (if we get one)

Cyberpunk 2077 patch 2.3 has PS5 Pro owners living their best life as V can now slice through Night City in 40fps on Quality Mode and 80fps in Performance Mode

Cyberpunk 2 associate game director admits CD Projekt Red “are sometimes slower” than players would like, and yeah, I’d already made peace with the fact we’ll be waiting on this sequel for years

CDPR had a “do it but not force it” philosophy for Cyberpunk 2077’s Switch 2 port, with new features only being added if they were “genuinely good”

One more Cyberpunk 2077 delay for old times’ sake: the Nintendo Switch 2 version of patch 2.3 has been pushed back, but seemingly not for long

Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.3 delayed so CD Projekt can “make sure we’re happy with it” as it aims for a similar patch to 2.2

After a nearly month-long delay, Cyberpunk 2077 patch 2.3 launches this week with “new Photo Mode functionality, additional cars, and more”

5 years after it was kicked off the PlayStation Store, Cyberpunk 2077 joins the PlayStation Plus Game Catalog

Cyberpunk 2077’s 2.3 update just added the best car in the entire RPG and it’s already become my new obsession in Night City

Cyberpunk 2077 fans took CDPR’s ‘pay attention Reddit’ diss seriously, immediately coming up with a theory that patch 2.3 is hiding a clue for yet another final update in plain sight

Cyberpunk 2077 dev thinks the RPG is a “much better game” for having gone through its notoriously messy launch: “We ended up pushing so much energy in this game”

Cyberpunk 2077 dev is “a little disappointed” in Reddit after dropping a hint about one of patch 2.3’s new vehicles that no one noticed: “Guys, you need to really pay more attention”

Final Fantasy-style RPG Lost Soul Aside gets extensive new patch players hope will bring a Cyberpunk 2077 “moment” and melt away some of those Mixed Steam reviews

It took me 326 hours to clock a less-obvious reason why Cyberpunk 2077 is the best open world RPG I’ve ever played: it’s a secret comedy game

After five years and a feel-good comeback, CD Projekt Red is still improving its already-improved Cyberpunk 2077 with a new patch that adds a much-requested toggle alongside some other nice fixes.

Vignette has always been a controversial effect in Cyberpunk 2077. You probably recognize it as the darkened tint that stains the sides of the screen and becomes more prominent when crouched.
But despite being used to make UI more visible, a chonky number of online posts over the years have complained about the feature being distracting, ugly, or just plain annoying. Complaints about vignette actually became so prominent over time, modders eventually had to tackle the issue themselves.

Cyberpunk 2077 patch 2.3’s new driving modes are inspired by chill YouTube videos of people cruising through Night City, and the GTA 5 fan in me is thrilled

From NG+ to full-body cyberware, here are 5 realistic Cyberpunk 2077 requests I’d love to see in the next update (if we get one)

Cyberpunk 2077 patch 2.3 has PS5 Pro owners living their best life as V can now slice through Night City in 40fps on Quality Mode and 80fps in Performance Mode

Cyberpunkers can rejoice, then, for the recent 2.31 cyberpatch has “added a toggle to disable vignette” in the settings. And rejoice they are. “Holy s**t. My dream has come true,” one fan wrote on the game’s subreddit. “The vignette made me queasy after playing for about 30min, so I only played in short spurts.”

Elsewhere in the 2.31 patch notes, CDPR updated the new auto-driving feature so your vehicle can travel a little smoother by itself, overtake blocking vehicles, and bypass traffic lights (which shouldn’t be a problem because driving laws are beneath Night City’s police force, who only go ballistic when you slightly graze their cars.) “Free Roam mode has also been upgraded to follow traffic rules and navigate the city more reliably.”
The rest of the patch fixes bugs and other common issues, improves photo mode, and adds “various stability and performance optimizations.”
No one knows how Cyberpunk 2 is going to go after Cyberpunk 2077’s ending, but Keanu Reeves wants to be part of it: “I’d love to play Johnny Silverhand again”

Latest in Cyberpunk

No one knows how Cyberpunk 2 is going to go after Cyberpunk 2077’s ending, but Keanu Reeves wants to be part of it: “I’d love to play Johnny Silverhand again”

CD Projekt Red is teasing something Cyberpunk 2077-shaped with a mysterious new message, and fans are desperately trying to work out if it could be sequel news, DLC, or something else entirely

CD Projekt said ditching game-key cards for Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2 was “the right thing to do,” and it’s apparently paid off because 75% of that version’s sales were physical

After working on an indie between Cyberpunk 2077 and a new vampire RPG from The Witcher 3 leads, veteran writer says indies have more “constraints” than AAA, but that makes them even more “original and unique”

Cyberpunk 2077 was a challenge for CDPR as V has “more freedom” in how they tackle the open-world, whereas it’s “very difficult” to see The Witcher 3’s Geralt “go GTA style”

“Do not f****ing do that”: Deus Ex actor reacts to Cyberpunk 2077 mod using AI to add Adam Jensen’s voice, and it isn’t pretty

Latest in News

Former Nintendo marketing leads explain the company is “very good” at curbing leaks – unless they’re from third-party games, “then it becomes much harder for Nintendo to control”

Sigourney Weaver says her Star Wars movie The Mandalorian & Grogu is “a different world” to Andor

Wallace and Gromit creator teases Feathers McGrawy prequel: “Watch this space”

CDPR finally gives Cyberpunk 2077 players the option to remove its weirdest graphical feature years after modders already responded to fan requests

Borderlands 4 Metacritic score ties it as the second-highest rated entry in the looter shooter’s mainline series, only losing out to Borderlands 2

Battlefield 6 community lead reminds everyone “NDA applies” as the long-rumored battle royale mode heads to Labs, trying to get ahead of the leaks I’m sure are already brewing

Borderlands 4 review: “Undeniably an excellent looter shooter, but one that requires a bit of tunnel vision to fully enjoy”

This enormous exploration board game won’t be for everyone, but it’s a masterclass in narrative and sandbox gameplay

Hollow Knight Silksong review: “Worth the wait and then some, this isn’t just more Hollow Knight but an evolved, spindly beast all its own – even if it’s fiddly at times”

Cronos: The New Dawn review: “An unabashed mash-up of survival horror greatest hits, from Dead Space to Silent Hill, with plenty of its own gory ideas”

This gorgeously weird monster board game warms my Halloween-loving heart, and it’s a delight
