Cyberpunk 2077 update 1.3 is about to be released on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC and Google Stadia.
The imminent update, which will be released in the coming days, includes a selection of free DLC.
Available from the main menu (under Additional Content), the free DLC includes an alternative appearance for Johnny Silverhand.
Fans can also unlock the Multilayered Syn-Leather Deltajock Jacket and Luminescent Punk Jacket, as well as the Archer Quartz “Bandit” vehicle.
“Available as a reward or for purchase (depending on choices made by player) after completing Ghost Town and then receiving a message from Dakota or Rogue,” CD Projekt explains.
“If you haven’t received the message, make sure to be in the Badlands area and move further away from Dakota’s workshop. Dakota will also need a couple of days to contact you.”
The update makes a whole host of bug fixes and gameplay tweaks, improving things like the minimap zoom level, adding more autosave slots, and making it possible to upgrade crafting components in bulk.
CD Projekt has also made a selection of console-specific fixes, such as stopping NPCs from speaking after being killed, and eliminating a save corruption glitch.
