California, the biggest state in the US when it comes to both population and the sheer volume of tech companies squeezed into its borders, has just passed the country's most extreme right to repair bill in the US (via Ars Technica). It's the third state to pass such a bill, but goes further than either Minnesota or New York in that it forces companies to support their products for longer. But while it will cover gaming PCs and laptops, games console manufacturers get a free pass.

Phantom Liberty, the first and only major expansion for Cyberpunk 2077, is nearly here. The highly anticipated DLC, which adds new quests, stories, locations, characters, and abilities, will be accompanied by a major update to the base game that adds all-new, highly requested gameplay systems.

PC players looking to max out the settings on may need to upgrade their machine before the long-awaited expansion pack releases according to one CD Projekt Red developer. Set to be released on September 26 alongside the free Update 2.0, the Phantom Liberty DLC introduces new gameplay features to Cyberpunk 2077 in addition to adding new story content for players to explore.

Later this week, CD Projekt RED will be revealing new details on Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty in a new episode of Night City Wire, but ahead of that, the developer is, of course, continuing to ramp up the excitement surrounding the expansion’s imminent launch with smaller tidbits.

The release date for Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is exactly two weeks away now, so it’s about time for another Night City Wire episode. Tune in on Thursday, September 14 at 11 AM ET for the next Night City Wire and see the most in-depth look yet for the Phantom Liberty expansion as well as what’s new in the base game of Cyberpunk 2077 with the 2.0 update.

If you’re after Cyberpunk 2077’s upcoming expansion pass, Phantom Liberty, you better be sure you have enough storage space. Today, a new leak has surfaced online highlighting what players will look at for a download size. According to the latest reports, players will find the game expansion at about 32 GB of storage space. That’s not too bad, but you will also need to factor in the download size of the actual Cyberpunk 2077 base game.

The Cyberpunk 2077 fan base is waiting on two major releases this month. We know that Phantom Liberty is coming on September 26, 2023. That will give players the game’s first and only expansion. However, that’s not the only major release coming for the game. There is also the big 2.0 update that will revamp the gameplay experience in a big way. Fortunately, this 2.0 update is coming to the base game, so even if you don’t pick up the expansion, there is still a major update that will breathe some new life into the gameplay experience.
