You're gonna be waiting a little while longer before you return to the neon-slick streets of , I'm afraid. Red has come out on social media to announce that—though it had hoped to put out the surprise patch for the game on June 26—it's proving a bigger task than it first thought, so it's being delayed to some as-yet-unspecified post-June-26 date while the devs get everything ship-shape. "Need a little more time in the oven, my chooms," says [[link]] Cyberpunk 2 associate game director Paweł Sasko on .
Hey chooms, We initially hoped to put Update 2.3 in your hands on June 26. However, we'll need some more time to make sure we're happy with it - [[link]] we're aiming for a scope similar to Update 2.2. We'll [[link]] update you further as soon as we can! We appreciate your patience!

CDPR is still keeping schtum about just what 2.3 will have in it, but if it's going for something comparable to 2.2 in terms of new add-ons, colour me very intrigued indeed.
I can't help but wonder if this is the one that'll finally see the game get a proper New Game+ mode. Sure, CDPR has said in the past it doesn't think that'd be a good idea, but people have been clamouring for it for such a long time that I can't help but wonder if it's changed its mind.
All we'll have is speculation until the devs tear the veil off, and all we have is speculation about when that'll actually be. CDPR hasn't given patch 2.3 a new date in its delay announcement, so I wonder if it might not be a few weeks yet until it finally hits our hard drives.
I gotta be honest, part of me kind of regrets fully platinum'ing the game before CDPR had truly finished patching it. Then again, with 10-year-old sometime this year, maybe that's just not a point the studio will ever reach.
