Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.3: AutoDrive, VRR, and Photo Mode Upgrades

CD Projekt Red has released Update 2.3 for Cyberpunk 2077, delivering a broad range of enhancements across gameplay systems, visuals, and platform compatibility. Originally planned for June 26 but postponed to ensure polish, the update is now available for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S, with support for macOS and Nintendo Switch 2 scheduled shortly.

Key Features Introduced in Update 2.3

AutoDrive: Enables players to mark waypoints on the map and have vehicles navigate there automatically. A cinematic camera view can be toggled during transit. Delamain taxi service becomes available following a specific in-game quest.
Vehicle Customization: Four new vehicles have been added. The CrystalCoat paint system introduces visual glitch effects. Additional side jobs are now tied to unlocking vehicle features.
Expanded Photo Mode: Players can now switch NPC outfits, change time of day and weather, add frames, and access 27 new character models for photography purposes. The interface has been reworked for better usability.
Technical Improvements: Support has been added for AMD FSR 3.1, Intel XeSS 2.0, HDR10+ on PC, and VRR on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. A native macOS version is now available for Apple Silicon devices with at least 16 GB of unified memory.

Delay and Development Scope

While Update 2.3 was originally scheduled for release in late June, the launch was postponed to July 17 in order to match the scale and quality of the preceding 2.2 update. CD Projekt Red cited final-stage adjustments and player feedback as reasons for the delay, reinforcing their focus on quality assurance and community trust.

Why This Update Matters

Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.3 is notable for several reasons. First, it adds substantial value in terms of immersion and usability—AutoDrive and Photo Mode enhancements both deepen the sandbox and improve the player experience. Second, it delivers broad technical parity across platforms, bringing modern performance standards to both consoles and Mac users. Third, despite prior suggestions that major updates were concluded, this release reaffirms CD Projekt Red’s long-term support for the title.

Moreover, the update demonstrates an increased level of transparency from the studio. The delay was communicated in advance, and the features ultimately delivered go beyond minimal maintenance—representing a meaningful content drop for both new and returning players.
