Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.2 adds more customization options, lets Johnny ride shotgun and make comments

The surprise Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.2 has arrived, expanding character customization options, adding more vehicles, and giving you a chance to ride alongside your buddy Johnny Silverhand. There are also bug fixes and Photo Mode changes, including a way to display your best shots in your apartment.

The update probably won’t light too many fires under the butts of those done with the game, but the changes were requested by the community at large. Those still tearing up the streets of Night City should be pleased with what Update 2.2 brings to the table.

What’s included in Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.2

A standout feature introduced by the update is the ability to scan vehicle colors and apply them to the vehicle you’re driving. Using Kiroshi optics, you can scan a vehicle and buy its color for your own. Based on the patch notes, it sounds like the swap can be done on the fly and can be used to drop your wanted level. If that’s the case, it’s a big step up from going to a Pay ‘n’ Spray. CrystalCoat tech covers additional vehicle models such as the Herrera, Mizutani, and more.

While driving, Johnny can now pop up to ride shotgun. He chills on the side, reacting and making comments as you drive. Hopefully, he doesn’t criticize your driving too much. Knowing me, he’ll have a lot of harsh things to say.

Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.2 adds more features to the Photo Mode. Shutterbugs will now have increased camera range, Full Collision and camera lock options, a characters tab, an Effect Intensity Slider, and more. You can also hang your favorite images in your apartment using SmartFrames picture frames.

Customization options have also been expanded with over 100 more options, ranging from nail color to makeup. CD Projekt Red added a new slider called Plain-to-Punk, which automatically ramps up the emo look the further you go.

There’s plenty more to parse in the patch notes, including bug fixes and quest changes. Give it a look before returning to the streets.
