Cyberpunk 2077 Showcases New Ways To Play As It Leads Into Phantom Liberty Release This Month

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. 

CD Projekt RED’s Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is still several weeks away but continues to look ever-so sumptuous. In a new trailer on Twitter (with footage captured by @Much118x), the developer showcases some of the expansion’s new weapons and Update 2.0’s abilities that players can utilize.

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. 

CD Projekt Red has detailed exactly which of Cyberpunk 2077’s upcoming changes will be offered to all players as part of the game’s major 2.0 update, and which additions will be included in the game’s massive Phantom Liberty expansion.

CD Projekt Red has shared what changes are coming to Cyberpunk 2077's police system alongside the Phantom Liberty update.

CD Projekt Red is shifting a "big part" of its Cyberpunk 2077 team to The Witcher 4 (officially known as Polaris) once the Phantom Liberty Expansion launches in September.

Those of you who were hopeful that CD Projekt Red would support Cyberpunk 2077 with a few expansions are out of luck. When the development team revealed that they would bring out Phantom Liberty into the marketplace, it was shortly met with confirmation that the expansion was the only one to release for the game. It was likely quite a bit of disheartening news for fans of the game. This news would make it especially true for fans who waited for the game to finally arrive and stuck through the rough launch. However, it’s confirmed that we won’t be seeing any new releases outside of Phantom Liberty.

While next month may belong to titles like Starfield and Mortal Kombat 1, CD Projekt RED’s Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is also heavily anticipated. It received a new trailer and extensive gameplay at Gamescom 2023, and in the company’s first half 2023 earnings conference, CD Projekt revealed it was “very happy” about current pre-orders.

Though Focus Entertainment dropped some new gameplay for Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine 2 at Gamescom 2023, there’s more to come. The publisher confirmed extended gameplay presentations for the upcoming hack-and-slash third-person shooter and DON’T NOD’s Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden on August 30th at 9 AM PDT/12 PM EDT.

Ever since Cyberpunk 2077's game-changing 2.0 update was announced, fans have been wondering when it'll actually launch. Obviously, it's always been assumed that the patch will arrive ahead of the Phantom Liberty expansion on the 26th September, since the DLC incorporates a lot of the new systems and mechanics — like car combat — introduced through the update.

Alongside the release of Phantom Liberty on the 26th September, Cyberpunk 2077 will be getting a massive free update that makes sweeping changes to core gameplay systems. CD Projekt Red is straight up calling this '2.0', which should give you an idea of how significant the adjustments are.
