Improvements in the world of Cyberpunk 2077
Furthermore, developers showed more of the skill tree revamp and gameplay updates. Among the rebalances, CD Projekt Red highlighted changes to player Perks, which are now substantially different to offer different gameplay styles, combat, and the economy (which has now changed item inflation and pricing). Additionally, new mechanics, such as throwing knives, have been added. Check out!
Another point that the company revealed were improvements in the quality of life and in various elements of the city of Night City, whether in the scenery, vehicles or even the behavior of the NPCs (which now appear in greater numbers).
The first improvement cited was changing the behavior of traffic in the metropolis, which react to aggressive player behavior. For example, if the protagonist shoots in the middle of the street, the cars can flee in panic and cause accidents, in addition to generating more realistic behavior with the situation.
Following the same principle, citizens also outline more realistic reactions if the player presents hostile attitudes. In gameplay, we’ve seen that shooting up will bring chaos to the streets, but some NPCs can shoot back.
Finally, the first-person cameras while driving have been reworked, the bikes have neon wheels that can be activated, there are better filters in the menus to better navigate Night City, revamped menus to change the time of day and much more.
Cyberpunk 2077’s first free DLCs
During the broadcast, the developer released the details of the first free DLCs for Cyberpunk 2077. They are basically three: new weapons (in addition to more rotating stock during daylight hours), unprecedented customization options for the protagonist V (in addition to the possibility of change appearance mid-game), the option to customize V’s apartment and buy new houses in Night City.

We’ll have to wait and see how the public reacts to the PS5, Xbox Series X and S version, which arrived today, but CD Projekt Red’s tone is one of trying to make amends for the rocky launch. And you, what did you think of the gameplay of Cyberpunk 2077 running on the new generation of consoles? Acceptable? Or are you still sinning in some respect? Leave your comment below!
