CD Projekt has unveiled an interesting opportunity for players to immerse themselves in Cyberpunk 2077 through a free trial running from March 28th to 31st. This trial will be accessible to Cyberpunk 2077 enthusiasts on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S platforms.
Cyberpunk 2077 gained notoriety not just for its ambitious scope and immersive world, but also for its controversial launch in December 2020. Despite high anticipation, Cyberpunk 2077 faced widespread criticism due to numerous technical issues. However, CD Projekt Red has since worked to address these issues through patches and updates, striving to bring the game more in line with players' expectations.
As announced by CD Projekt Red, the trial offers players the “ultimate Cyberpunk 2077 experience.” It starts on March 28th at 8 am PDT and ends on March 31st at 11:59 pm PDT. This trial grants access to the base game along with all previous updates, including the Update 2.0, which brought significant gameplay overhauls. Additionally, players will get to dive into Update 2.1, featuring a fully functional metro system, the ability to tune into in-game radio stations anywhere via the radioport, and a fleet of new vehicles. What's more, progress made during the trial seamlessly transfers over to the full version for those who choose to purchase the game, promising an uninterrupted journey through Cyberpunk 2077's Night City futuristic dystopia.
For those wondering about the specifics, CD Projekt has provided answers to frequently asked questions regarding the trial. Players can enjoy up to 5 hours of gameplay during the trial, which can only be played once per account, with progress carrying over to the full game if purchased. The free trial includes the base game only, excluding the acclaimed Cyberpunk 2077's Phantom Liberty expansion. A download of the full game is required, approximately 99.3 GB on PlayStation 5 and 103 GB on Xbox Series X|S.
Moreover, multiple users on the same console can access the trial with separate accounts. The trial is only accessible in regions where Cyberpunk 2077 is available, and no subscription is required to access it, except for PlayStation 5 owners in Germany who must pay a small fee due to SIE policy.
Unfortunately, a trial for PC users will not be available due to technical reasons. Cyberpunk 2077 is currently among the best open-world games, and this free trial offers players an excellent opportunity to experience it firsthand and decide if it's the game for them.
