Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty Expansion Continues To Be A Huge Success

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is filled with plenty of memorable sequences, but if there's a boss fight that doesn't fail to impress is the Chimera boss fight, which is unlike anything found in both the base game and the expansion. What makes this epic boss fight even better is the amazing sound production, which was handled by Sound Lab in collaboration with CD Projekt Red internal team.

A Cyberpunk 2077 lighting mod called E3VR was recently updated to a new version that essentially restores the lighting system used in the game's pre-release versions.

Cyberpunk 2077 gives you quite a lot of freedom when making your character, giving you one of three backstories to pick which radically alters events in the game. These backstories do much more than simply change the game's opening though, and the recently released Phantom Liberty expansion even alters new details about V based on whether you picked the Corpo, Street Kid, or Nomad lifepaths.

Cyberpunk 2077 latest patch, patch 2.1, brings path tracing and regular ray tracing improvements across the board, as highlighted by a few comparison videos shared on YouTube.

It's me, I'm back. Rock Paper Shotgun's dedicated Cyberpunk 2077 reporter. CD Projekt Red continue to pay my rent by releasing regular patches for the once-borked, now-brill open world so I can write news about them. The latest, Update 2.1, is out now and adds new races, car chases, romantic smooches, and a working metro system.

The tale of CD Projekt Red and their futuristic cyberpunk-themed video game is likely well-known to you now. But it’s worth retelling again because of the release of Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition, which is meant to be the “definitive version” of the title in every way that matters. If you don’t know, this “Ultimate Edition” brings together the main game that launched in 2020 and the expansion that was released a few months ago. Plus, all the updates that have helped improve the game over the years are included. They even made a special launch trailer bringing back Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba to narrate why you should “enjoy” Night City as you try to make your way through it.

Sci-fi RPG Cyberpunk 2077 is an ambitious game with history as up-and-down as its prickly protagonist's mood. The game deflated expectations almost immediately after launch in 2020, disappointing would-be fans with its glitches and fiddly combat. Putting a bow on its comeback arc, developer CD Projekt Red recently released its Phantom Liberty expansion and update 2.0. Now, the game feels deserving of its pre-launch hype, and its unexpected new patch 2.1 happily continues this trend.  

Cyberpunk 2077 is getting its last major update tomorrow, as CD Projekt Red moves away from the three-year-old RPG. It will add a bunch of fan-requested features, like a portable radio, more bikes, and a functioning metro system.

NVIDIA has released its latest GeForce Game Ready driver which adds support for Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition, further enhancing RTX & DLSS capabilities.

The release of: Ultimate Edition next week will also see a new 2.1 update that will bring ”New and hotly-anticipated gameplay elements” for the great price of free, according to developer CD Projekt Red.

Phantom Liberty, the Cyberpunk 2077 DLC that adds Idris Elba and some kind of rocket ship (I think? I haven't actually gotten to it yet), has done quite well for itself. That's according to a recent CD Projekt Red earnings call as well as the company's Twitter account, which was out yesterday boasting about 4.3 million copies of the DLC sold since launch. 

Since launching in late September, the first and only DLC for Cyberpunk 2077 has sold 4.3 million copies in just two months, according to CD Projekt Red's latest earnings report.
