Every New Feature You in Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.1

Night City Area Rapid Transport (NCART) Metro System

While the speculations suggested the arrival of new vehicles or transportation systems, adding a metro system might change the travelling experience in Night City. The new metro system features five metro lines spread across 19 stations, helping the players to travel faster. Players can avail of the metro services after V receives a text message from NCART. 

Accessibility Features

Adding the 'Accessibility' tab in the game's settings is one of the highlights of Update 2.1. The following is the list of accessibility features coming to Cyberpunk 2077:

• Subtitles
• Adjustable Overhead Text Size
• Adjustable background opacity for cinematic subtitles
• Aim Assist
• User interface haptic feedback

New Portable Radio 

Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.1 will include a new radio system, allowing players to listen to music on the go. The radio will come with an adjustable volume, pausing automatically during conversations or cut scenes. 

Increased Boss Fights Difficulty

CD Projekt Red has revamped the difficulty level against the boss fights, starting with the fight against Adam Smasher. Previously, players used to find boss fights pretty easy, and CDPR has noticed that. From now on, bosses will adapt to the player's tactics and use Sandevistan. 

New Vehicles, Tricks, Abilities And Replayable Car Races

With Update 2.1, CDPR is set to introduce five motorbikes and the classic Porsche 911 Turbo Cabriolet (930). Moreover, players can replay the car races (only available after finishing the race with Claire) with some new car chases. Update 2.1 will provide an immersive motorbike riding experience thanks to the new tricks like throwing knives while riding and doing wheelies and flips.
