U.S. Fuel Now as Expensive as Cyberpunk 2077's Dystopian World
Fuel prices in the United States right now are through the roof. In fact, fuel prices are so high right now that the fuel prices in Cyberpunk 2077 -- a game set in a dystopian future -- actually aren't that absurd, depending on which state you live in, which is saying something because that game is set in 2077 where hyperinflation has flattened the economy. According to the American Automobile Association, the average gas price in America is currently $5.014. This is just the national average though. This means in some states, like Missouri and Kansas it's lower, but in some states, like California and Nevada, it's higher.
The most expensive state when it comes to gas prices is California, where on average it's been running nearly at $6 a gallon, with one city running at $10 a gallon. In Cyberpunk 2077's dystopian world gas prices seem to be similar to California. As you can see in the Reddit screenshot below, Night City and beyond is charging a very similar price point for its fuel, as long as you don't want pure gasoline.
You know it's getting bad when Fuel prices in cyberpunk are cheaper than real life😬 from cyberpunkgameAs you would expect, this revelation has been making the rounds not just on the game's Reddit page, but elsewhere on the Internet, as it paints a pretty grim picture of the current fuel economy.
Cyberpunk 2077 is available via Google Stadia, PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series S, and Xbox Series X. For more coverage on the open-world RPG, click here.
"Most of the Cyberpunk 2077 characters you'll meet in Night City have different connections and perspectives on the setting, but they've all got one unifying point to stress: the possibilities of Night City are endless," reads the opening of our review of the game. "Those possibilities draw people in and keep inhabitants entangled in the affairs of the city with everyone
Cyberpunk 2077’ Is Getting Transmog For Its Clothing And Armor

It may be a while until we get any new Cyberpunk 2077 updates, given that everyone is heads down for the upcoming DLC in 2023. But we do know at least one thing that is definitely coming, given strong hints from the game and its developer. I’d say more than hints, more or less just…confirmation.
That would be transmog, the ability to wear whatever armor or clothing items you want and transform each piece to look like another piece, so you don’t look like a mismatched weirdo. It’s kind of par for the course for most RPGs to have some system like this now, but Cyberpunk doesn’t. That seems like it’s about to change, judging by this response to this fan:
Cyberpunk Quest Director Pawel Sasko also replied with the eyes emoji too.
The confirms something that was already glimpsed a few times, as the tag “transmog” was attached to a few of these slots in some past build data. What’s not clear is whether this could be something coming in a future patch, or if it will not arrive until the DLC. There have been other indications that smaller patches with new additions could be coming before 2023, which could even include new gigs to run, but we have no fixed confirmation on that yet. If so, however, I could see transmog arriving early.
The thing about transmog in Cyberpunk however is that…at least in my playthroughs, you could kind of wear anything you wanted, because the game’s difficulty was balanced such that it was easy to get overpowered to the point where it effectively didn’t matter at all what you wore. Given that my hacker build could stand on a curb and kill an entire building’s worth of enemies without moving, you didn’t exactly need to be loaded up in legendary armor. The same went for my melee build, as I was killing enemies so fast and healing up so quickly that my gear really did not matter.

Now, since I played the campaign, the game’s difficulty has been somewhat rebalanced, especially on “very hard,” so that may no longer be true. So if that’s the case, new players coming in now probably would benefit more from transmog than I did back then.
If CDPR was really concerned about fashion, what they would implement is the extremely
Cyberpunk 2077's Next-Gen Update Has Sparked a 600% Increase in Sales
VG247 reports that a recent quarterly results conference by CD Projekt RED for Q1, 2022, has revealed that sales of Cyberpunk 2077 for the first quarter of the year are up a whopping 600% on the same period in 2021, likely driven by the release of the game's free next-gen 1.5 update
Cyberpunk 2077 has, of course, suffered a heavily documented spluttery start to life as a key IP in CDPR's RPG stable. Something the developer is trying its hardest rectify with less grand-standing and simply more technical support of the game to ensure a smooth experience for all, regardless of platform
This information couples itself with growth charts, however, that highlight the increase in sales as largely being for the next-gen machines in PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. This information also comes in the wake of other news items around the game and CDPR that include an early 2023 release window for Cyberpunk 2077's first expansion (of a planned two), and that the studio has signed an agreement to build the next The Witcher experience on Unreal Engine and not with its in-house REDEngin
