Cyberpunk 2077 2.3 Update – All New Cars, Self-Driving Features & NPC Additions

Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.3 – Autodrive, New Vehicles, and Enhanced Photo Mode Explained

F(caps)irst off, this patch? It’s beefy. We’re talking four fresh rides (finally, some new wheels!), hands-free AutoDrive, and those sassy Delamain cabs that basically drive themselves. Oh, and they tossed in extra photo mode toys and some nerdy graphics stuff for the PC crowd. PS5 and Xbox folks, you’re not left out either.

New Rides, But You've Got to Earn Them

CD Projekt Red clearly doesn’t want you just buying cars off some soulless auto lot. Nah, they’re making you work a little—side gigs, story hooks, all that good stuff. 

• The Yaiba ARV-Q340 Semimaru? Looks like it rolled straight out of a Tokyo street racer fever dream.

• The Rayfield Caliburn “Mordred” is what Batman would drive if he had a taste for the finer things.

• Muramasa? Sleek, fast, and ready to make you feel like you’re in an anime chase. 

• The Chevillon Legatus 450 Aquila is the only “just buy it” option, and it’s a straight-up flex, honestly.

AutoDrive: Because Who Actually Likes Driving Everywhere?

Let’s be real, driving in Night City can be a headache. Now you can just set your destination, lean back, and let the car do the work. Bonus: there’s a cinematic camera mode, so you can pretend you’re in some moody Netflix adaptation, watching the city fly by in neon-soaked glory. But heads up, if you roll into a firefight or smash your car up, AutoDrive knocks out instantly. Got to keep you on your toes, right?

Delamain Is Back and Smarter Than Before

Remember those snarky Delamain cabs? They’re full-on autonomous now. No more “oh, it’s just sitting there” after the side quest. Summon one from your menu, kick back, and enjoy the ride (or at least pretend you’re starring in your own AI buddy movie).

Photo Mode: Now with Way More Toys

Photo Mode got a monster upgrade. Want Dum Dum in your selfies? Rita Wheeler? Hell, even Brendan. You got them—27 new NPCs to plop in your shots, plus more outfits and a beefed-up Look-At Camera feature. For all you Cyberpunk Instagrammers, the content possibilities just exploded.

Visual Upgrades: PC and Console Love

PC players get all sorts of fancy techy stuff like FSR 3.1 frame magic, XeSS 2.0 (yeah, I had to Google that), and HDR10+ for extra eye candy. Console players? You finally get Variable Refresh Rate, so your screen stops looking like a busted VHS during high-speed chases.

CrystalCoat Paint Jobs for More Than Just Fancy Cars

Before, that wild color-shifting paint was just for Rayfields. Now, you can slap it on more vehicles (bikes too!), so your ride can look like a shifting oil slick under all those neon lights.

Why should you actually care?

This update isn’t just a spit-shine. It’s more proof that CDPR isn’t ghosting Cyberpunk 2077. The game keeps getting deeper, more stylish, and, honestly, a bit weirder—and that’s a good thing. If you’re still cruising Night City or thinking about jumping back in, Update 2.3 gives you actual reasons to care about your car, your look, and those little cinematic moments that make the world feel alive. Not bad, right?

FAQs – Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.3

How do I get my hands on the new rides in Update 2.3?

Alright, so if you want those shiny new Yaiba and Rayfield vehicles, you've got to finish their side gigs—no shortcut here. For the Chevillon Aquila, though? Just hit up the Autofixer menu and it’s yours, no strings attached.

Is AutoDrive in every car now or nah?

Not quite. Only certain wheels come with AutoDrive. And heads up, it’ll switch off if you get into a fight or your car gets banged up. So, don’t count on it mid-chaos.

Wait, can I finally use Delamain as my taxi?

Heck yeah! Once you wrap up the “Don’t Lose Your Mind” quest, Delamain’s ready to roll. Just summon him through the vehicle call menu and let the AI chauffeur's life begin.

Can I use these features on my old saves?

Yup! If your save is after Update 2.0 or Phantom Liberty, you’re golden. No need to start over—just load up and enjoy the new stuff.

Will this patch mess with my PC’s performance?

Actually, it’s the opposite. Frame rates and visuals get a nice boost, assuming your gear can handle it. So, expect things to look and run smoother than before.

Conclusion

Update 2.3 isn’t just some boring patch notes dump. CDPR actually brought the goods this time—AutoDrive, fancier visuals, new ways to customize your ride, and even cooler ways to just kick back and enjoy Night City. Honestly, if you bailed on the game after the rocky launch, now’s your chance to see what you’ve been missing. Feels like Cyberpunk’s finally living up to the hype.

Crack open a synth-beer and get back out there. Night City’s not going to explore itself. Cheers!

Cheers!!!
