CD PROJEKT RED today revealed the contents of a free update coming to Cyberpunk 2077 tomorrow alongside the release of Ultimate Edition on Mac. Update 2.3 introduces AutoDrive, the Delamain taxi service, new quests, vehicles, expanded Photo Mode features, and more!
Snapshot:.
Like Update 2.2, Update 2.3 was developed in partnership with Virtuos.
Players can use AutoDrive and the Delamain taxi service to reach their destinations automatically.
Other additions include new quests, new vehicles and a swathe of Photo Mode features.
More information about the update was shared in a REDstreams episode.
Update 2.3 is the latest free update for Cyberpunk 2077, yet again the result of close collaboration between CD PROJEKT RED and Virtuos, and brings new ways to traverse the streets of Night City.
Players can now sit back and relax and let their vehicle do the work. While driving an owned vehicle, it is now possible to choose or create a map marker and enable AutoDrive to navigate to the destination completely hands-free. Night City’s premier driverless taxi service is fully operational now too thanks to the ability to summon a Delamain cab, choose a destination, and then let Delamain chauffeur players to their destination — for an appropriate eurodollar fee, of course. While using either means of transport, various cinematic camera angles can also be enjoyed, allowing passengers to take in Night City in a whole new light.
For those who prefer to take the wheel themselves, brand new vehicles have also been added with Update 2.3 in the form of a motorcycle and three new cars — including the brand-new Yaiba Semimaru from the Cyberpunk 2077: Kickdown comic! These vehicles can be unlocked by completing associated quests.
A plethora of new settings and customization options have also been added to Photo Mode. It is now possible to customize the weather and time of day to obtain the perfect shot, while also choosing from a greater selection of NPCs, outfits, and poses. New stickers and frames have also been added, and players now can now customize how NPCs look at the camera during shooting, with greater control over heads, eyes, and shoulders during any pose, bringing deeper command over every shot.
In addition, new technology features have been added with Update 2.3, including VRR support consoles, AMD FSR4 support, AMD FSR 3.1 Frame Generation, Intel XeSS 2.0, improved HDR settings, and more. All details of what’s included in this update can be found via the official patch notes.
Update 2.3 arrives July 17 for Cyberpunk 2077 and Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition on PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Apple silicon Mac models, 16GB+. The update will arrive on Nintendo Switch 2 at a later date.

New Beachside Homestead Plot and Elite Specializations Provide Launch Pad for Setting Sail to Undiscovered Lands of Castora
BELLEVUE, WA – July 15, 2025 – Today developer ArenaNet® announced Guild Wars 2®: Visions of Eternity™, the sixth expansion for the award-winning and critically acclaimed MMORPG Guild Wars 2. Releasing on October 28, 2025, Visions of Eternity will offer a suite of new content and features for established and new players alike, including a new Homestead plot, new and upgraded abilities for the skimmer mount, an all-new story set in the island realm of Castora, two new explorable maps, and a new elite specialization for all nine of the game’s playable professions.
The new Guild Wars 2: Visions of Eternity trailer can be viewed below.
Visions of Eternity will go on sale for $24.99 and, like its predecessor Guild Wars 2: Janthir Wilds™, have three planned major updates scheduled for release throughout 2026. Launch day will open two new maps on the island of Castora, a heretofore unvisited part of Tyria and home to ancient magics that have warped the local flora and fauna in stunning ways. Amidst this enigmatic new land, players will be able to explore new build options for their characters as each of the game’s professions can earn a new elite specialization with a collection of new traits and utility skills that will further increase the game’s already staggering amount of gameplay customization options. The skimmer mount, already a master of aquatic environments, can develop new capabilities through one of three new mastery lines associated with Castora.
The Homestead system introduced in Janthir Wilds is being extended in Visions of Eternity.A new plot for players’ homesteads will be available on the sunny beaches of Castora. The expansion’s Homestead Layout feature will allow players to easily and quickly share their customized space with others, allowing a perfect duplicate of a construction so long as a player has the requisite decorations. Whether they want to live in the wintery vales of Janthir or among the waves of a new island paradise, a player can choose which of their homestead plots is active at any time and use Layouts to easily restore their favorite looks.
The three planned major future updates will launch at no additional charge and continue to add new experiences: two additional maps, new Raid Encounters, a new Convergence, new rewards (including new earnable items in the Wizard’s Vault), two extensions of the storyline, new legendary gear, and more will arrive in 2026.
Visions of Eternity’s new story begins with rumors of an island fabled by the seafarers of Tyria, rich with magic and ley energy. Word arrives to the Tyrian Alliance that the Inquest, a conniving krewe of asuran technology researchers, has been in search of that island, Castora—and when the Inquest start sneaking around, it spells danger for the rest of Tyria. Together with those allies willing to brave a voyage into the unknown, the Commander sets off in the hopes of discovering what the Inquest’s goals are—and stopping them before it’s too late.
“Visions of Eternity continues our commitment to major yearly content expansions,” said Josh Davis, Guild Wars 2 Game Director. “Over a decade into the game’s life, we’re making improvements and enhancements to game modes and systems, expanding the horizon of Guild Wars 2’s gameplay. This expansion is offering up more elite specializations to further grow the possibilities for player customization and gameplay while becoming more seamlessly accessible across game modes and activities.”
A wealth of newfeatures, activities, and storylines open up new possibilities for play:
New maps: Two new explorable maps will be available on October 28, with a third and fourth to follow in future updates.
Elite Specializations: A new swath of character build options arrives to provide even more gameplay possibilities. Each new elite specialization offers new utility skills and traits for players to discover and hone their preferred play style across the broad range of the game’s nine character professions. Anyone with a Guild Wars 2 account can partake in a beta to try out the new elite specializations August 20-27.
New and improved Skimmer: Dive into the sea with improved exploration and combat abilities on the skimmer. The skimmer updates represent one of three new mastery lines tied to the region of Castora.
New Raid Encounters and group content: The magically-infused landscape of the island is home to all manner of warped and twisted wildlife, which will provide groups of 10 players their ultimate challenge in instanced PvE content, coming in future updates.
New Homestead plot: By turning the wreckage of an island shipwreck into a fantabulous beachside home, decorators will have full control over the furniture, structure, and accessories in their cozy new paradise. Homestead Layouts can be shared with other players, giving characters instant access to their friends’ best designs so long as they have the required decorations.
New Legendary Gear: A legendary weapon and legendary acquabreather at launch will be joined later by a legendary ring, legendary accessory, and another legendary weapon in later releases. These, along with a host of new armor and weapon sets and new Wizards Vault rewards will bring a decidedly magic island vibe to the adventure.
