Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 1.5 will let you change V’s appearance mid-game

CD Projekt Red has gone live with today’s teased Cyberpunk 2077 reveal stream so now we’ve got a good idea of what the studio has in store for its dystopian RPG next with Patch 1.5. Alongside the shiny new next-gen updates coming up for our friends on console, the game’s next major patch will introduce improved AI, rebalances to combat and the economy, and more – including, excitingly, the option to change V’s appearance post-character creator.

A point of frustration for many players since the game launched back in December 2020 has been that once you’re out of the Cyberpunk’s character creation screen and into your adventures in Night City, that’s it – you can’t alter your V’s appearance mid-game. You can kit them out with an extensive array of new clothes and accessories, but their core appearance – including any piercings you’ve picked out for them – will stay the same throughout your playthrough.

As CDPR explains in its reveal stream (below), though, Patch 1.5 will now let you change your V’s appearance at any point. All you’ll need to do is head to V’s apartment and interact with the bathroom mirror, and you’ll see a new option appear that lets you re-enter the character creation screen.
