Since the release ofCyberpunk 2077’s2.3 update, speculation has reignited around what a potential 2.4 patch might look like. CD Projekt Red hasn’t confirmed anything yet, but given the steady rhythm of updates and the increased involvement of support studio Virtuos, another update is looking more likely than ever. Update 2.3 focused on vehicles and interface tweaks, indicating a shift toward more modular, system-specific patches rather than sweeping overhauls.
TheCyberpunk 20772.3 patch also added subtle in-world teases that point toward what might be next. In particular, a set of banners teasing a new “casino” has been spotted on the Night City map, hinting that CD Projekt Red may be building toward a final round of post-Phantom Liberty content. While another full expansion is off the table, players may still see new explorable spaces, gameplay adjustments, or tie-ins with the growing Cyberpunk transmedia universe.
Cyberpunk 2077 2.4 Could Expand Romance Options
Romance inCyberpunk 2077has somewhat felt like a missed opportunity. While the original game allowed players to pursue a few key partners like Judy, Panam, River, or Kerry, those relationships often stalled after the main story arc concluded. Many fans have asked for more dialogue, additional quests, or even the ability to continue spending time with these characters in-game post-story.
Patch 2.4 could offer an opportunity to address this. Adding new date locations, romantic dialogue, or minor side activities could help make these relationships feel less static. Even something as small as letting partners join the player in more safehouse or apartment scenes could go a long way in improving immersion.
CD Projekt Red previously added small tweaks to romanceanimations and messages after Phantom Liberty. These minor touches suggest they are open to revisiting the system, even if in limited ways.
There is also potential for a crossover with theupcomingCyberpunk: Edgerunners 2series. If romanceable NPCs make reference to in-world media, the game could include subtle nods to the show’s events or characters, helping to bridge the franchise’s various stories.
Cyberpunk 2077 Could Introduce Casino Gameplay
The most tantalizing lead for 2.4 content comes from thecasino signs discovered in Update 2.3. Currently inaccessible, the signage appears near Dogtown and mentions a new entertainment venue. Night City lacks places to visit outside of pre-scripted quest hubs, so a casino could fill a meaningful gap.
This casino could offer more than just aesthetics. It is easy to imagine a minigame system where players can gamble Eddies, play blackjack, or participate in risk-based side quests. This would tie in well withCyberpunk 2077’s themes of chance, risk, and betrayal.
The“Roach Race” arcade machineadded in a previous patch shows CD Projekt Red’s willingness to create entirely new gameplay systems within existing world assets.
The addition of a casino could also provide a new hub for repeatable content, blending gameplay with questlines or social interactions. Players could see returning fixers, meet underworld NPCs, or unlock new cyberware upgrades from backroom dealers. It is the kind of system that could realistically be built with existing tools, especially withVirtuos working onCyberpunk 2077.
Cyberpunk 2077 Still Lacks Gear Flexibility and Mod Control
Despite major overhauls in the 2.0 update,Cyberpunk 2077still limits players when it comes to customizing and upgrading gear. Only iconic weapons can be upgraded through the crafting system, leaving non-iconic weapons stuck at the tier they are found or crafted in. Mods present another issue, as once installed on most weapons or clothing, they cannot be removed or reused.
These restrictions discourage experimentation and force players to abandon favored gear as they progress. A future update could fix this by allowing greater control over mod management and expanding upgrade options for all weapon types.IfCyberpunk 2077continues to take cues fromThe Witcher 3, which eventually added armor dyes, it could grow into a more satisfying RPG sandbox.
Another highly requested feature is New Game Plus. While CD Projekt Red has explained the technical hurdles, mainly due to the game’s branching narrative structure, Virtuos' growing involvement may increase the chances. IfNew Game Plus drops forCyberpunk 2077, it would be a major surprise. Even without it, expanded loot systems and better character build control could help soften its absence.
