Revealed during a Twitch stream, Cyberpunk 2077 producer Monika Janowska and quest director Paweł Sasko, alongside senior community managers Amelia Kołat and Alicja Kozera, announced that the patch will include the long requested metro system.

The original trailer for Cyberpunk 2077 featured the metro system, alongside the Phantom Liberty cinematic trailer, so CD Projekt Red decided to finally add it, Sasko said. Players can travel between 19 metro stations which can be used as either a fast travel point or a proper metro ride experience (that can be skipped at any time). There are five metro lines operating in Night City which can be found on their own map. The metro system will only be accessible after the Konpeki Plaza sequence in the game, when players will receive a call from the metro director.

"Our direction when what we wanted to was make sure players have a way to really be in the world and have an immersive way to travel through the world," said Sasko. "This is designed to be a role-playing feature." The update will also bring the ability to carry a radio and therefore listen to Cyberpunk 2077's various radio stations even outside of a vehicle. There are some limitations, in that players can't listen to it during dialogue or with scripted music, but in these instances the radio will click as if to turn off and not kill immersion.

CD Projekt Red also announced boss fight improvements coming to the base Cyberpunk 2077, including of Adam Smasher. This baddie has been at the centre of fan complaints for years as players compared his abilities in the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime with those in the game. The fight, which is meant to be among the most intense in the game, became a meme, with players finding ways to cheese Smasher and destroy him easily.

From the other thread; here are all the additions and changes coming with patch 2.1:

• Metro System - Unlocks once the player receives a call. Player can sit the whole ride or skip/fast travel
• Radioport - An item the player owns to listen to radio outside of car. Turns off automatically when the quest music kicks in
• Boss Fight Improvements - Specifically Adam Smasher (looked super cool on the stream)
• Replayable Races - After you complete the Claire race quests, you will be contacted for 4 more races. Able to win an auto fixer prize
• 5 New Motorcycles - Appearances from existing brands in game
• New Porsche - Samurai Johnny Design
• More Motorcycle Combat - Flips, wheelies, use of throwing knives
• Car Chases - During quests, after killing gang members they will hunt you down in cars and chase you. -Car Chase Gigs - Gang members will hunt player down during car theft missions
• New HUD Options - Visual effects, enlarging, disable time in minigame, etc
• Hang out with Romance Characters
• Full Dualsense support on PC
• More cats

So a metro system is now a role-playing feature?

 

[Johnic]

OK, getting there.

Finally reaching the 7.5/10 status it deserves. It's a weird game with a lot of problems even after every tech issue is resolved.

 

[Say1nMan]

Cool to see this happened. The metro train system was originally supposed to be in the game from the start but was cut.

3 years too late. It had to be baseline and upgrade upon, not fucking getting there after 3 years.

Yeah, it's like a whole diff game at this point.

Yes.

You’re playing the role of someone riding the metro.
