Photo Decking: Cyberpunk 2077's New Twist Adds Personal Touch

Night CityThu Jan 16 2025
You move to a new place. How do you make it feel more like home? You put up pictures of your loved ones. That's what makes the new SmartFrames in Cyberpunk 2077 so cool. These digital frames allow you to display your favorite screenshots from the game all around V's apartments. It's not just about looking nice; it helps you get into the character's head. The 2. 2 update brought a lot of new stuff. You can customize your character and cars more, and even have rockstar Johnny Silverhand ride shotgun. But the SmartFrames stand out for making the game feel more personal. You can put up photos with your virtual friends, like Judy or Panam, and even set up your own shoots with them in Night City. One player put up a picture of V and Jackie Welles, V's best friend who tragically doesn't make it in the story. The frame hangs by V's stash, turning it into a treasured memory. This is what role-playing in an RPG is all about. Little details that make you feel part of the world. From showering to having a drink at the bar, Cyberpunk 2077 nails these small moments. And now, with SmartFrames, you can decorate your virtual home just like you would in reality.
