The highly anticipated 2.3 update for Cyberpunk 2077 is scheduled to release on July 17, though not simultaneously across all platforms. CD Projekt Red has shared comprehensive patch notes detailing the improvements coming to Night City in this substantial update.

Originally planned for June 26, the update faced a brief delay before securing its new July release date. This marks another significant patch following the unexpected 2.1 and 2.2 updates, with development primarily handled by Virtuos, the international studio known for its porting expertise.

Notably, the Switch 2 version won't receive the update immediately, though CDPR confirms it will arrive later. The patch also brings Cyberpunk 2077 to macOS for the first time, available through the Mac App Store and playable on Steam/GOG/Epic for existing owners with compatible hardware.

Key features in Update 2.3 include:

• AutoDrive System: New autonomous driving functionality with cinematic camera options
• Four New Vehicles: Including the Yaiba ARV-Q340 Semimaru and Rayfield Caliburn "Mordred"
• Expanded CrystalCoat™: Now available for more vehicle types including motorcycles
• Photo Mode Enhancements: 27 new NPC spawns, outfit options, and improved lighting controls
• Technical Improvements: Support for AMD FSR 3.1, Intel XeSS 2.0, and HDR10+ GAMING

The update also introduces quality-of-life improvements like inverted mouse detection, tutorial replay options, and the ability to dismiss Johnny Silverhand from vehicle passenger seats. Players should note that many mods may require updates to remain compatible with the new patch.
