It took some time, but CD Projekt Red's troubled RPG finally has as much substance as it has style, in no small thanks to the recent Phantom Liberty DLC and patch 2.0.

CD Projekt RED has sent out an important message to PlayStation 5 owners about Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty.
In a tweet they issued out earlier today, CD Projekt RED stated:
“Important information for PlayStation 5 gamers — If you purchased the Cyberpunk 2077 + Phantom Liberty bundle, to download Phantom Liberty claim it from the PlayStation Store by pressing “download” once the game releases at midnight local time. We apologize for the lack of a pre-load.
The pre-order Quadra may not be available for PlayStation at first. This may especially affect regions where the game will release first due to their time zones. We are working to ensure players receive their bonus as soon as possible!”
It isn’t clear why PlayStation 5 users won’t get a pre-load. But even if PlayStation 5 gamers are inconvenienced, it will be better for them if CD Projekt RED doesn’t try to push a badly implemented preload that could harm their enjoyment of the DLC.
For those who are wondering, Quadra is a car manufactured in the world of Cyberpunk 2077. CD Projekt RED is referring to a pre-order bonus car that PlayStation 5 owners should be getting alongside everyone else.
The Quanta car in question is a Sport R-7 “Vigilante”, an entirely new car being introduced alongside this DLC. If you don’t preorder the game, you will still have a way of acquiring this car, but as of now, CD Projekt RED hasn’t revealed how it will work.
Chances are, this is an item that automatically unlocks as part of the story. It could also be a reward for completing a side mission, or just something you can buy or ‘borrow’ in game. Again, it is not clear why PlayStation 5 users won’t get this bonus at the same time as everyone else, but they are better off this way than if CD Projekt RED tried to push it when they weren’t ready to.
CD Projekt RED also recommended that players start over with a new save for Cyberpunk 2077 if they were going to play Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. That’s because the game had seen so many changes that it would not only be a much improved experience, but a completely different one to boot. This early on, it seems that doing so would be a worthwhile choice, because the rerelease and DLC has been getting stellar reviews.
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty will be released on September 26, 2023, on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Windows, on Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG.
It took some time, but CD Projekt Red's troubled RPG finally has as much substance as it has style, in no small thanks to the recent Phantom Liberty DLC and patch 2.0.
And the main game has climbed to 25 million copies sold.
Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.01 is scheduled to be released later today across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty players really wish they could romance one character in particular.
's DLC is full of choices that V must make — and these decisions can ultimately affect which ending players get. In fact, some options can even lock players out of s true new ending, and one of these factors includes deciding to kill Solomon Reed or agreeing to his deal. This occurs extremely late in the game, but it will have a major impact on the ending, so knowing which choice is correct is important.
Early in the DLC's main story for, V is faced with a difficult choice without a lot of time to make a well-thought-out decision. As is often the case with much of the game, there are many decisions that have to be handled which can affect other things down the line, and particularly when trying to roleplay it can be hard to know what the right choice is. Dogtown residents Jacob and Taylor may talk tough, but whether they deserve the maximum punishment for their actions is ultimately up to the player to decide.
There’s one incredibly powerful Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty gun you need to snag, and it’s actually really easy to get. With so many extra weapons to choose from in the new Cyberpunk DLC from CD Projekt Red, we’ve discovered one that you can get with basically no effort that offers up not just a solid gun but allows for a fair bit of customization too.
Cyberpunk 2077 may have just received Update 2.0 and its Phantom Liberty expansion but developer CD Projekt has promised Patch 2.01 is "coming soon" with performance improvements in Dogtown and a fix for corrupted save data on PlayStation 5.
When it comes to cyberpunk, I'm a simpleton: I'm always chasing the initial radioactive wave of cool that emanated from the pages of William Gibson's Neuromancer and its prequel short story Johnny Mnemonic. When I saw the monowire cyberware in Cyberpunk 2077, I knew it was the weapon for me, and I was even more excited when Cyberpunk director Gabe Amatangelo recommended a particular monowire build to me, capitalizing on all the changes to Cyberpunk's skill system in 2.0 and Phantom Liberty, in an interview this week.
Cyberpunk 2077's first (and last) expansion is out now on PS5. Phantom Liberty adds a whole new storyline and district to CD Projekt Red's open world RPG, and the initial reception has been incredibly positive. Of course, it helps that the base game has been significantly improved with Update 2.0 — which dropped just five days ago at the time of writing.
Cyberpunk 2077 is, finally, having its big launch moment. On Tuesday, buoyed by the 2.0 patch and expansion Phantom Liberty, the game hit its highest peak playercount since 2020. We loved Phantom Liberty, saying in our review that it's "CD Projekt firing on all cylinders to tell a great RPG story." It's been a long but impressive comeback for Cyberpunk, and the fact that the game is finally getting universal praise made me wonder if CD Projekt was reconsidering its plan to move on to a new game. After all, The Witcher 3's Hearts of Stone was good, but Blood & Wine was even better…
With the free 2.0 update and the Phantom Liberty expansion including Path Tracing, Cyberpunk 2077 has again set a new benchmark for PC gaming. This new Cyberpunk 2077 Path Tracing mod makes the game even more demanding.
