Cyberpunk 2077 Update 20: The Epic Detail that Fans Can't Stop Talking About

Highlights

Cyberpunk 2077's 2.0 update removes a heavily memed detail, a badly edited image, and replaces it with a much better composite.

CD Projekt Red's dedication to resolving even the minutest problems in the game is receiving acclaim from fans on social media. Moreover, the 2.0 update introduces notable enhancements, such as a revamped police system, unscripted vehicle combat, and a reimagined perk system.

In the Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 update, a poorly edited image that became a popular meme was removed from the game, as confirmed by early player feedback. The highly anticipated 2.0 version of Cyberpunk 2077 was released on September 21.

Warning! Spoilers ahead for the end of River Ward's side quest in Cyberpunk 2077.While the game's initial release in 2020 faced technical difficulties, one of the most memed aspects was not a result of a bug but rather an oversight in the form of an inaccurately edited image. After completing The Hunt side quest in Cyberpunk 2077, the protagonist, V, received a picture from Joss Kutcher, River Ward's sister, as a thank you for finding Kutcher's son, Randy. However, the heartfelt message was overshadowed by the obviously fake appearance of the attached picture.

CD Projekt Red surprised fans by finally replacing the old placeholder image with a much improved composite. Interestingly, the studio didn't mention this change in the official patch notes for the Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.0, suggesting that the update includes even more enhancements than initially indicated.

Numerous fans have taken to social media to express their appreciation to CDPR for addressing what they deemed a "cursed" picture of Randy. They are thankful that the developer took the time to resolve even the smallest issues. However, while many players support the replacement, some have mixed feelings. They admit that they will miss the unintended humor provided by the heavily memed picture during their playthroughs.

CDPR removed an Elon Musk lookalike from Cyberpunk 2077 in the 2.0 update, which went unnoticed in the patch notes but caught the attention of fans. These changes, however, are relatively unimportant compared to the significant updates brought by the 2.0 version. This update completely transforms various aspects of Cyberpunk 2077, providing players with a drastically different gameplay experience. The most notable changes include a thorough police system overhaul, replacing the unrealistic NCPD spawns with more realistic patrols and officer reactions to crimes. Additionally, the patch introduces non-scripted vehicle combat and a revamped perk system, among numerous other additions.

The 2.0 update serves primarily as a precursor to Phantom Liberty, the RPG's sole expansion featuring Idris Elba. Priced at $29.99, this DLC is set to launch on September 26 for current-generation consoles and PC.

Cyberpunk 2077 is available on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S, while its 2.0 update is exclusive to PC and current-gen consoles.
