Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.0 release date confirmed

Update 2.0 will arrive to the base Cyberpunk 2077 game at no additional cost on September 21 on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The news was celebrated with a short clip where we can see the Night City police special forces, MAX-TAC, in action, whose behavior has been redesigned to make it difficult for you to stay in the city when you commit a crime.

Among the improvements of the update, we will also find the complete overhaul of the skills system, which will see redesigned advantages added to exploit the build system offered by the game. If you have a game started, when you play the update for the first time you will receive all the skill points invested so that you can deploy them through the new trees as you please. We can also expect changes to the crafting of items, materials, and the method of collecting them.

All of these updates are coming alongside combat and chases in vehicles, something only possible so far in certain missions of the main plot. In fact, vehicle combat is one of the main features of the expansion, Phantom Liberty, only everyone will be able to partake in it without having to purchase it.
