CD Projekt Red has rolled out a significant update for *Cyberpunk 2077*, introducing Variable Refresh Rate (VRR) support for consoles and a new autodrive function for in-game vehicles. The patch, labeled Update 2.1, aims to refine the gaming experience on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S by leveraging VRR technology to reduce screen tearing and improve motion clarity. This enhancement is particularly beneficial for the game’s fast-paced action sequences and visually dense Night City environment.
In addition to VRR, the update introduces an autodrive mode, allowing players to let their vehicles navigate to waypoints automatically—a feature long requested by fans who want to soak in the game’s sprawling cityscape without manual driving. The autodrive function is designed to follow traffic rules, adding a layer of immersion while freeing players to focus on other in-game activities.
According to CD Projekt Red, the update also includes numerous bug fixes and quality-of-life improvements, further polishing the game since its rocky 2020 launch. The studio has been steadily rehabilitating *Cyberpunk 2077*’s reputation with major updates, including the well-received *Phantom Liberty* expansion earlier this year.
Other gaming outlets, such as *IGN*, have noted that this update aligns with CD Projekt Red’s commitment to long-term support for the title, which has seen a resurgence in player engagement following its technical overhauls. The addition of VRR and autodrive underscores the developer’s focus on both performance and player convenience as *Cyberpunk 2077* continues to evolve.
