Cyberpunk 2077 players are celebrating the game’s four years on December 10, 2024. After a difficult launch, it is now easily among the best games of the genre. Despite the announcement that its development was finished, the developers have just released a small update, which adds some features, increases the customization of the character, but also of the vehicles, while other improvements are available.
Unfortunately, this is not a patch to improve the experience on PS5 Pro. So as not to miss anything of this Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.2, find the patch notes below. This update is available for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series versions.
Patch 2.2
New features
Initially reserved for Rayfield vehicles, the brand’s CrystalCoat technology has now been adopted by other manufacturers. You can now apply it to the bodywork of Herrera, Mizutani, Quadra and Villefort brand vehicles. Pro Tip: Use the CrystalCoat to fool the police and lower your NCPD Wanted Level!
Kiroshi presents TWINTONE! As CrystalCoat technology continues to grow in popularity, TWINTONE takes your bodywork to the next level. Simply scan a car with your Kiroshi optics, switch to the TWINTONE tab, and save its color palette for just a few eddies. You can then find it in the TWINTONE database, accessible from the CrystalCoat menu. You will also find generic color palettes for all CrystalCoat compatible vehicles as well as unique palettes, reserved for the models on which they were scanned. Please note that duplication of color schemes is not permitted for vehicles associated with quests, owned by the NCPD, or incompatible with CrystalCoat technology.
All CrystalCoat and TWINTONE compatible vehicles are marked with a spray paint icon on Autofixer.
The ten hottest vehicles on the streets of Night City are now available for purchase on Autofixer:
- Mizutani Shion MZ1
- Mizutani Shion Targa MZT
- Thorton Galena GA32t
- Thorton Colby CST40
- Archer Quartz EC-L r275
- Quadra Type-66 640 TS
- Quadra Type-66 680 TS

At the end of Act 1, Johnny will now be able to appear in the passenger seat while V is behind the wheel to make comments and react to what he sees.
Mode photo
We’ve completely overhauled Photo Mode and added many features requested by the community:
- The drone camera is now a free camera, and no longer an orbital camera centered on V.
- Increased camera range.
- All Collisions (ON/OFF) – Determines whether the camera respects collisions with in-game objects.
- Lock Camera (ON/OFF) – Locks the camera to prevent misclicks that could ruin the photo.

Kiroshi’s SmartFrames™ technology lets you display photos taken in Photo Mode by interacting with frames installed in V’s apartments. Browse your photo collection from the new Gallery tab, located in the menu near the Journal options, Shards and Tarot. The gallery will look for screenshots in .png format in the corresponding directory on your PC or in the gallery on your console. For more information about SmartFrames™ and Gallery, see this support article.

We’ve improved the Character Creator randomizer to add a new Classic – Punk slider. Whether you’re looking for a casual, minimalist look or a much bolder, subversive style, you can now use this slider to achieve the perfect result.
Quests and open world
We’ve reworded the objectives for quests requiring you to wait a certain amount of time before continuing. In certain situations, the game is designed to force players to continue progressing in order to trigger the next event, without them having the option to move forward in time to go faster.
- Cyberpsycho Spotted: Where Men Come to Die – Fixed a bug where no shards could be picked up from the cyberpsycho’s body, blocking progression.
- Dream On – The Trauma Team Navi on the roof will now be properly camouflaged in stealth mode.
- Heroes – Fixed a bug where the quest would remain open in the Journal, even if completed, with the objectives “Talk to Padre.” and “Talking to the Valentinos.”.
Phantom Liberty specific changes
- Balls to the Wall – Fixed a bug preventing V from exiting the elevator and talking to Yuri due to an invisible wall.
- Firestarter – Fixed a bug preventing fast travel if you saved the game shortly after getting out of Reed’s car.
