CD Projekt Red has unveiled the details of the upcoming free update for Cyberpunk 2077, as well as the paid features for the game’s new Phantom Liberty DLC.
Phantom Liberty, the RPG‘s one and only expansion, is set to launch on September 26 and will introduce brand-new story content, characters, side quests, and more.
It’s said that the DLC will completely revamp the base game, changing the systems that were implemented at launch into something new and improved, but it was later confirmed that some of those features will be added to Cyberpunk 2077 with a free update as well.
Update 2.0 will be released a few weeks ahead of Phantom Liberty, but what exactly are players paying for and what are they getting for free with patch 2.0? CD Projekt Red has officially revealed the details for those planning on either playing the new base game content or the paid DLC. You can read the full breakdown below.
