Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.31 Rolls Out with Major AutoDrive and Photo Mode Enhancements
CD Projekt Red has once again raised the bar. The much-anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 patch notes for version 2.31 are here, and they bring meaningful upgrades for drivers and photographers exploring the neon-lit streets of Night City.
Now available across all platforms, this update refines the game’s open-world experience while addressing feedback from the player community.
Following the blockbuster Phantom Liberty expansion and the sweeping 2.0 patch, this new release sharpens core features without overhauling the entire game.
The developers have been listening, and this latest update delivers improvements that feel polished, intuitive, and, let’s be honest, a lot more fun.
The AutoDrive system has seen its biggest overhaul yet. Vehicles now handle traffic more smoothly, and overtaking feels natural rather than clunky.
Importantly, players won’t have to wait at every red light when navigating toward map markers; the cars simply keep going.
Free Roam mode is more immersive too. The update introduces enhanced adherence to Night City’s complex traffic rules.
Whether weaving through crowded streets or cruising between districts, driving now feels like an extension of the player’s intent rather than a limitation of the system.
Fans of capturing their adventures will appreciate the tweaks to Photo Mode. As CD Projekt Red explains: “Most new poses are now compatible with all genders.”
That’s not all. Unwanted NPCs bumping into players during photo shoots have been disabled, making it easier to snap clean and creative shots.

Players can now compose scenes without distractions, perfect for sharing their Night City experiences.
Beyond driving and photography, the patch includes multitudinous fixes and quality- of- life upgrades. Several localisation issues have been addressed, improving smoother gameplay for a transnational followership.
A new option allows players to toggle off the picture effect, furnishing a clearer view of the terrain. Stability across searches and open-world relations has also been improved.
For those on PC, the patch delivers key technical optimisations. A known issue with NVIDIA Reflex being disabled incorrectly has been resolved.
Similarly, path tracing problems in specific scenarios are now fixed. Ray-traced reflections are more accurate, furnishing that hand high-end visual polish that suckers anticipate.
The update enhances overall performance for both Windows and Mac systems, icing smoother gameplay without compromising graphical fidelity.
With this rearmost patch, CD Projekt Red reinforces its fidelity to keeping Cyberpunk 2077 fresh and engaging.
These advancements aren’t just specialized tweaks; they enrich the day-to-day experience of wandering through the megacity’s thoroughfares or curating perfect shots.
As the inventors themselves put it, “ These thoughtful advances to AutoDrive and Photo Mode enhance everyday absorption.”
It’s this ongoing attention to detail that keeps Night City feeling alive. Players can now enjoy a further indefectible, immersive experience that stays true to the spirit of the game.
