CD Projekt RED quite unexpectedly released a new major update for Cyberpunk 2077 numbered 2.2. The update is already available on Xbox Series X | S, Playstation 5 and PC. The update itself was developed by Virtuous studio, and it is aimed at increasing the level of customization in the game and improving the photo mode.
