Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.1 will add a host of new content to the game, including a Metro traversal system, unique cars, an on-person radio, and much more.

It has now been confirmed that this is the final major update to the game.

For those wondering what to expect in update 2.1, here's everything we know that is coming.

Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.1 confirmed features

Rideable NCART Metro is arriving

CDPR is introducing five Night City Area Rapid Transport metro lines that will cover 19 stations across the city. This will significantly reduce traffic time while moving around and provide players with a different perspective while traversing.

CDPR's blog post stated that this service will open up in-game once V receives a tet from NCART.


On-person radio on the go

A Radioport is being added that will allow V and the player to listen to the radio while on foot or on the metro. It will turn off during crucial game audio scenes like dialogs and conversations.


Motoring updates

Update 2.1 is also bringing the following features for Cyberpunk 2077 fans who love cars and bikes (copied from the blog post):

  • New vehicles, including new motorbikes and a real classic: a cabriolet version of Porsche 911!
  • Replayable car races are available after the race with Claire is finished.
  • More immersive motorbike riding — including the ability to throw knives while riding, leaning, doing wheelies, and even flips!
  • New car chases — if you mess with the gangs while doing gigs, they might hunt you down later!
  • Newly opened highway.

Miscellaneous features

  • Improved boss fights, with a significantly more powerful Adam Smasher, using the Sandevistan implant from Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime.
  • Players can hang out with their in-game romantic partners in apartments.
