Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.1 Will Introduce Replayable Car Races, New 'Radioport' Feature

CD Projekt Red is going to launch a massive new patch for Cyberpunk 2077 very soon. Update 2.1 brings a lot of new features, including the ability to listen to tunes while traversing the streets of Night City, as well as replayable car races to keep players busy for a long time.

Tune In

Update 2.1 will introduce a new feature called "Radioport." This allows players to listen to the in-game radio while they're on foot or when riding the NCART (Night City Area Rapid Transit) system. Players do not have to worry about anything because the Radioport will turn off by itself whenever something important happens.

Competitive Racing

Players who love racing in Cyberpunk 2077 due to "The Beast in Me" quest can participate in replayable car races once Update 2.1 goes live.

Those who have a knack for adrenaline can look for race flag icons that are scattered all over Night City. Players who can successfully beat the competition will earn "Eddies" and a discount for the Autofixer website, where they can purchase some cars that they want to add to their collection. For the uninitiated, Eddies are a slang term for the Eurodollar, which is the primary currency of the game.

More Accessibility Options

To allow players to enjoy Cyberpunk 2077 to the fullest, CD Projekt Red will add new accessibility options in Update 2.1. First of all, players will gain the ability to change the default font size into a bigger one via a toggle. This toggle changes the text size of most of the tooltips in the game, as well as the HUB menu, loading screen tips, and various items, among many others.

In addition, a new option lets players remove the chromatic aberration effect, most commonly known as "ghosting," when navigating the minimap, track quests, and available items.

These new options are available in the new tab aptly called "Accessibility" which can be found on the settings menu.
