Here’s exactly what Cyberpunk 2077’s free 2.0 update will include, and what you’ll have to buy the Phantom Liberty expansion to get

Cyberpunk 2077 fans are waiting on the big expansion release. With the original game launch failing to hit the strides that CD Projekt Red hoped for, the development team didn’t get the ability to spend efforts supporting the game with post-launch content. Instead, a significant focus was put into updates to ensure the game reached the standards expected by the development team and players. Fortunately, the game managed to turn itself around, and now players are getting ready for the one expansion the development team was able to deliver Phantom Liberty.

Idris Elba is one of the main stars in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, but what is his character? There’s a lot we know about Idris Elba’s Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty character and a lot that’s being saved for the full release. Here is everything we know about Idris Elba’s character in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty.

CD Projekt Red has this whole rewards system thing going on with Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. Jumping through a few simple hoops will net you some pretty cool rewards—like a snazzy pistol that sets people on fire—and all it'll cost you is your time.

Cyberpunk 2077 and I have a troubled history. From its disappointing launch state on console and PC back during its earliest days, I’ve had a hard time really getting into the sprawling RPG, as bugs, glitches and overall performance issues held everything back.

It’s been nearly three years since CD Projekt Red first launched Cyberpunk 2077 into the world. And amid all the issues and updates, the question has constantly been whether Cyberpunk is back; whether it can right the course of its failed launch and regain ground in the eyes of those who were fervently anticipating it. 

It’s fair to say that, with the release of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, the comeback story will be practically complete.

Remember how many dildos were originally in Cyberpunk 2077? You couldn’t loot a corner in Night City without picking one up, to the point where CD Projekt Red actually had to patch a number of them out. Lootable dildos weren’t necessarily a problem on their own, but their abundance was a good example of how Cyberpunk’s grand story could occasionally clash with the cheap shock humor found around it. Phantom Liberty aims to right that dildo misalignment, and after some soul-searching, has seemingly found what kind of Cyberpunk story it wants to tell, and nails it. Balancing the punk-rock verve of Mike Pondsmith’s tabletop RPG with an exquisitely crafted spy story and best-in-class visuals, Phantom Liberty is Cyberpunk 2077 at its best.

CD Projekt Red now has a history of delivering great CG trailers, and this latest one for upcoming expansion Phantom Liberty is right up there with some of the best. It actually gives us a bit of background on Solomon Reed — played by English actor Idris Elba — who's a key character in the DLC. A government agent who's finally about to get out of Night City, he's betrayed at the last minute by a woman named So Mi and seemingly killed.

This Thursday will see CD Projekt Red host another Cyberpunk 2077 livestream. The Polish developer is promising a additional looks at upcoming expansion Phantom Liberty, and the game-changing update 2.0. We expect this to be a pretty significant show, because it was recently confirmed that CDPR will be providing 2.0 release date information this week.

The Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty release times are now confirmed, so we know exactly when the DLC for CDPR’s neon-soaked adventure will arrive on PC and Steam. With the Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty release date just around the corner, and all of us waiting to jump back into Night City alongside Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba, the huge RPG game expansion gets its launch times finalized for each region, and is all set to transform the sci-fi epic alongside the Cyberpunk 2.0 update. Here are the Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty release times for PC.

's long-awaited DLC, is finally nearing its release. The expansion will launch exclusively on current-gen devices such as Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5, as well as PC, unlike the original which attempted to launch on last-gen consoles with disastrous results. It will also be coupled with a massive 2.0 update, making CD Projekt Red's first and last DLC for its 2020 ARPG a huge overhaul for the title, bringing it more in line with the experience many expected from at launch.

Cyberpunk 2077 has all of the dark, gritty qualities you could hope for in a futuristic RPG game, but none of them compare to those coming with CD Projekt Red’s new expansion. Phantom Liberty takes players to Dogtown, a ruined city defined by its crumbling architecture and corrupt citizens. Cyberpunk 2077‘s upcoming content introduces us to characters like Solomon Reed, represented by actor Idris Elba. He was revealed to be much more than just the expansion’s central figure, though. He’s also responsible for new in-game music, acting as a DJ, producer, and rapper.
