It’s no secret that I’m in love with Cyberpunk 2077. I’m closing in on nearly 200 hours of playtime, and that’s just one run. However, one thing that could make this experience even better is being able to play a multiplayer version with my wife.

The Samurai Jacket from is the iconic outfit worn by V in the game's initial promotional material. While this Bomber jacket isn't hard to acquire, it can be easily missed if you only play the main story and ignore Side Gigs. The Samurai Bomber Jacket is perhaps one of the coolest outfits from a game that incorporates vibrant lighting in the collar and also has good stats for players to take advantage of. But to get the jacket, you will have to progress the main story to a certain point and start a side gig when it becomes available.

CD Projekt has revealed Cyberpunk 2077's Update 2.02 is "coming soon" and includes a handful of bug fixes and other challenges.

Cyberpunk 2077 was an incredibly anticipated video game title. Before its release, CD Projekt Red had hyped this game to new levels. After their success with The Witcher trilogy, it was clear that fans were eager to dive into another thrilling RPG from this talented group. However, as you all likely remember, Cyberpunk 2077 was released in a terrible state. It was filled with bugs, and some platforms struggled to run the game. That left a horrible mark against CD Projekt Red, and they vowed to turn this game around. It took years, but eventually, the team managed to pull it off, and now Cyberpunk 2077 is a rather highly regarded RPG. 

Cyberpunk 2077 is, unsurprisingly, full of homeless people. After all, we're constantly told how bad poverty is in Night City, and apartments will lock you out as soon as your rent is late, so it's hardly shocking that we see so many people living on the streets. But now, these unfortunate souls are in luck, because they seem to have been given a huge boost in the new update.

We review Cyberpunk Red: Combat Zone, a great looking skirmish game published by Monster Fight Club. In Cyberpunk Red: Combat Zone, players fighting on the streets of Night city.

I don't think I'm spoiling too much off the jump by saying that Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty's endings are emotionally charged and more than a little bit devastating. It is also a natural gamer behavior to goof around in such moments, but as reported by VG247, CD Projekt Red seems to have anticipated players attempting to bork one such scene, inserting hidden dialogue to reflect their apparent death drive. Spoilers for Phantom Liberty ahead.

Following a notoriously bumpy launch in 2020, CD Projekt Red successfully redeemed and revived Cyberpunk 2077 with several updates and the excellent Phantom Liberty expansion. But the Polish developer supposedly took a “significant” morale hit from the game’s troublesome development and is looking to do things differently with future release, including The Witcher 4.

Cyberpunk 2077, especially since the launch of Phantom Liberty, has one of the most vibrant and vivid visual styles in gaming. You take all that – the neon lights, the chunky guns, the endless miles of wires and cables – and strap it to the close-quarters, tactics-driven strategy of Firaxis’ iconic XCOM 2, and then add a dash of Payday 3, and its focus on robberies and heists, and this is the result. If you want a beautiful new Steam strategy sim, centered on stealth and cerebral planning, this is for you.

I adore the user interface of Cyberpunk 2077. Developer CD Projekt Red manages to blend effective communication of player information like health, ammunition, and cyberware opportunities with an immersive and sleek style that’s Night City’s own. The same goes for most weapons; looking down scopes can tell you distances and ammo counts, and often plays with your perception to involve you in the world around you. The problem is, this can sometimes be way too distracting to take in during a hectic firefight, so one modder has solved the problem.

's DLCgreatly expands on the base game's original map, including a variety of new hidden locations. adds a whole section to 's map: the lawless district of Dogtown. Once a planned, private resort getaway for Night City's well-to-do luminaries, Dogtown soon fell under the control of Kurt Hansen and his iron-fisted Barghest paramilitary gang. By the time V arrives, high rises and luxury shops are in total disarray, and anyone who isn't part of Barghest's rank and file is forced to live in fear. Their hidden stashes and abandoned apartments make up some of the DLC's most fascinating areas.

There is a certain build in that will let you Parkour around the Night City; however, you will require the ability to Double Jump to do it effectively. Parkouring without the Double Jump ability isn't as exciting as one would imagine, which is why it is one of the more important Cyberware to unlock. Not only does it let V Parkour, it also gives them an advantage during tense situations when facing tough enemies, getting access to hidden areas, or even for stealth.

Like many of CD Projekt RED's games, 's DLC contains a great number of excellently concealed Easter eggs, hidden details, and subtle pop-culture references. Although some of 's secrets are easily discovered, others are incredibly hard to uncover — this, however, is part of the fun. While simple awareness of a reference is rewarding, having to spend a great deal of time and effort in locating an Easter egg amplifies the reward.

CD Projekt Red used AI to replace the voice actor Miłogost Reczek in Cyberpunk 2077 following his passing in 2021. 

As reported by Bloomberg, it's been revealed that CD Projekt used AI to replicate the voice of the late Miłogost Reczek, who voiced Night City's most reliable ripper doc, Viktor Vektor, in the base game's Polish localisation back in 2020.

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.

With Update 2.0 and Phantom Liberty, CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077 is already a great-looking game. It brings Mike Pondsmith’s tabletop RPG to life in such a way that Night City feels like a real, potential future metropolis. So, what if the textures of Night City could look even better? Well, one modder did just that earlier this year, and has just updated the game to somehow look even better.

Cyberpunk 2077 is already a rather nice-looking game. With the game set in the distant dystopian future, Night City is something that might have you just taking in the sights. We also just had a significant update and the release of the Phantom Liberty expansion. However, going beyond that, you will find that there are a slew of mods to make Night City even more attractive to explore. That said, if you want to just take in Night City without having anything drastically changed from what the developers brought into the game, then there is the HD Reworked Project 2.0 you might find of interest. 

Cyberpunk 2077 made a lot of popular changes with its version 2.0 update, but one of them appears to have had an unintended side effect. Due to changes in how clothing and armour work, a reward for completing a questline on a much harder, non-lethal path has been nerfed, making it purely aesthetic as opposed to giving you its intended in-game advantage.

Cyberpunk 2077 has had somewhat of a redemption arc since its initial release back in 2020, which hasn’t gone unnoticed by many who held off from playing it. For those new players (and old-timers), we have all the Cyberpunk 2077 missions with a full list of chapters and how many to expect.

Today I learned that the universe of Cyberpunk 2077 has something called ‘Exotics’ in it. Basically, rich people sculpt furred skins, animal-like faces, ears, and other features onto themselves as a hobby out of pure boredom. This wasn’t in CD Projekt Red’s virtual version of the tabletop sci-fi RPG, but now it is. Thanks to the incredible work of one modder you can now be a furry in Night City, and no I’m not joking.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is being heralded as the game that we deserved back in 2020, finally completing CD Projekt Red's vision of Night City. Alongside the version 2.0 update, Phantom Liberty overhauls almost everything about the game, from its combat and RPG mechanics, to how its NPCs interact with the world. But that doesn't mean it's without its issues.

In Cyberpunk 2077, there are few problems that can’t be solved with either a bullet, a blade, or a colorfully worded variation of “F you.” In Phantom Liberty, the first and only expansion for the game, developer CD Projekt Red throws a curveball at the player in the form of an optional final mission that channels inspiration from one of the greatest survival-horror games of the eighth console generation.

With Phantom Liberty and Update 2.0 Cyberpunk 2077 has a new lease on life. In-game systems have been reworked, the UI has been tweaked, and there’s a host of new weapons, quests, clothing options, and cyberware opportunities to revamp your experience completely. Now you can become even more powerful than before though, as one dedicated modder has put cyberware into overdrive to make you as OP as possible.

's DLC continues the trend of CD Projekt RED, including a number of Hidden Easter eggs in its releases. Hidden details, subtle references, and Easter Eggs are an excellent way for developers to secretly communicate with audience members and reward them for experimenting and exploring the world beyond the beaten path of main, side and miscellaneous quest lines. Whether self-referential or alluding to other pieces of media, hunting for Easter eggs is one of the most entertaining ways to explore and engage with any game — even if it does not typically offer the player any tangible rewards.

In a similar vein to base , the main story of the DLC has several major decisions which can drastically change the story, which rewards are obtained, and endings for both the DLC's story and the story of the main game. Taking place around the time of the later parts of 's main story, has V delving into a sectioned-off area of Night City known as Dogtown, pulled into a mission to save the president of the NUSA from a crash by the enigmatic Songbird in exchange for a promised cure to V's terminal condition.

Now that Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty has been out for roughly a week, players are reaching the new ending for the base game. It’s one of the expansion’s selling points and one of the biggest curiosities for me.

Cyberpunk 2077 - now redeemed and somewhat rebuilt after the car crash that was its initial launch - is looking ahead at the even further future. CD Projekt Red have expressed that they have “no regrets” about switching from a third-person camera to a first-person one in the transition from The Witcher to Cyberpunk, however, for future games in Night City, the studio are still undecided.

CD Projekt Red knows how to hype up a video game. After their success with The Witcher franchise, the studio brought out another open-world RPG. We traded a medieval fantasy setting for a futuristic cyberpunk dystopia. However, while the game looked incredible and left fans begging for its release, the eventual launch of their latest RPG was nothing short of a disaster. There were so many bugs and poor optimization issues that it even prompted Sony to toss the game off their digital storefront. Fortunately, the developers returned to work and aimed to deliver enough patches and content to turn Cyberpunk 2077 around successfully.

The great Cyberpunk 2077 redemption arc of 2023 continues as the CD Projekt Red developed sci-fi RPG claims yet another pair of milestones following the launch of massive expansion, Phantom Liberty, and CDPR’s vast 2.0 overhaul to the base game. The publisher, which also makes The Witcher games, announces that it has reached yet another big sales target, with PC players making up the vast majority of Phantom Liberty players.

Looks are everything in Night City, or so we're told. True enough, Cyberpunk 2077 has a pretty great character creation system and enough clothing options to leave you stuck in your inventory for hours deciding what to wear, but you rarely get to see the results. For the most part, you're playing in first-person, leaving your drip unappreciated throughout the game.

Cyberpunk 2077 seemingly has a new Blade Easter Egg.

Those looking to earn some sweet eddies will want to tackle this task carefully.

's DLC brings many new side quests to the open world of Night City, but one in particular shouldn't be skipped. Naturally, the main focus of the DLC is on its tense, twisted spy thriller of a story. Even so, some of its side quests do a wonderful job of expanding its world, getting the player acquainted with the notable people, places, and things of Dogtown to ease them along their journey.

First impressions can be everything, especially with video games. A botched launch can spell doom for even the most highly anticipated titles. But sometimes, against all odds, games with a terrible launch manage to rise from the ashes of a disastrous debut. On some very rare occasions, the developer teams behind certain games decide not just to sit and watch everything collapse before their eyes.

Cyberpunk 2077 didn’t have the grand launch that CD Projekt Red had hoped for. It was a rough game at its release, with some platforms being unplayable. That resulted in a massive back peddle from CD Projekt Red. It was all hands on deck when the studio worked through the countless bugs and technical issues that plagued the game.
