Summary
CD Projekt Red has recently revealed the surprisingly robust changes coming with the imminentCyberpunk 20772.1 update, including the long-awaited interactive metro system. This update wasteased by CD Projekt Redearlier this week, via a tweet where the developer suggested it would include substantial changes and improvements.
Despite being featured heavily in the game’s marketing,Cyberpunk 2077players have never had the option to use the in-game metro system. This struck many as odd, since the world ofCyberpunk 2077clearly has a fully functional public transit system, and the addition of interactive train rides seemed like a relatively easy and uncomplicated way to add some additional, immersive world-building. Technically, players can use the metro system in the game, but it’s only included as an in-universe explanation for fast-travel.
Despite CDPR’s statements aboutnot adding a metro system toCyberpunk 2077, it looks like it will be coming to the game via the 2.1 update. The 2.1 update will make the metro system more interactive, allowing players to experience the elevated train rides in real-time. There will still be an option to skip the ride, but the alternative, real-time experience will be an option, with CDPR officials calling it a new “role-playing feature.”
Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.1 Biggest Changes
While the arrival of the more immersive metro functionality is exciting, it arguably pales in comparison to all the other changes that 2.1 will be implementing. The new missions and side activities, alongside additional features and accessibility options, make 2.1 a meaty follow-up to the 2.0 update, which was asubstantial reworking ofCyberpunk 2077.
2.1’s meaningful changes, including the fulfillment of a long-time request from players, may come as something of a surprise for those followingCyberpunk 2077, as CD Project Red previously stated that 2.0 would be the last big update to the game. According to CDPR, even more details about update 2.1 are on the way, suggesting that the patch could be even more significant.
