- Character Editor Adjustments: 112 new assets for hair, eyes, cybernetics, etc., as well as a randomizer with different settings
- Colors of cars can be freely adjusted at any time and we can scan and copy the looks of other cars – if we are wanted, we can even use it to distract pursuers from our trail.
- 10 carsthat could only be stolen, we can now buy in the game (2 of them only for the DLC)
- Johnny can now be a passenger sit next to you and react to your actions.
Among other things, there are 32 new student shapes in the editor.

What about PS5 Pro support or New Game Plus? Many players had two main wishes for Cyberpunk 2077. In addition to PS5 Pro support for Sony's most powerful games console, there have been calls from the community for a New Game Plus mode for a long time.
Marcin Momot, the Global Community Director at CD Projekt Red, had already explained in advance that we hopefully won't need these two functions in Update 2.2.
Quest designer Pawel Sasko explained why New Game Plus is not suitable for the game a few months ago. Therefore, it is simply too complicated to meaningfully connect all the skills that we unlock during the game with the options at the start of the game and a lot of adjustments to the structure of the game would be necessary.
