Cyberpunk 2077’s Phantom Liberty expansion has been successful for CD Projekt RED, selling over five million copies last year. However, perhaps more impressive is the attach rate, which co-CEO Michał Nowakowski confirmed is approximately 23 percent to IGN.

Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 contains several great Easter eggs, but one fan recently pointed out a missed opportunity to include a real-life tribute to one of Marvel’s greatest heroes. While Insomniac’s Spider-Man games are in a separate continuity from other recent Marvel titles like Marvel’s Avengers and Marvel’s Midnight Suns, they still feature clever nods to other famous heroes like Black Panther and Doctor Strange. While exploring the open world of New York City, Marvel’s Spider-Man 2 players can visit the Wakanda Embassy and Avengers Tower — and can even pay their respects to late MCU actor Chadwick Boseman at the former.

An eagle-eyed Cyberpunk 2077 player has noticed a brand-new Easter egg on the main menu that has gone unnoticed by gamers for an unknown amount of time. Cyberpunk 2077 has had a second lease of life thanks to consistent updates and the Phantom Liberty DLC, leading to a higher chance that any secrets will be found by the community.

TikTok once again finds itself in a precarious position. This time, it comes in the form of legislation that would ban the popular social media platform if it doesn't break ties with ByteDance, its Beijing-based parent company. On Thursday, a House panel unanimously approved a bipartisan bill that would require the Chinese firm to divest TikTok and other applications it owns within six months of the bill's enactment in order to avoid a nation-wide ban. The legislation also creates a process that lets the executive branch prohibit access to other apps that pose a threat to national security.

A Grand Theft Auto 4 fan online got a great surprise recently, after discovering a cool piece of merch hidden in a random trash pile. While gamers are still finding new details in Grand Theft Auto 4itself, it's much rarer to find these interesting out-of-game discoveries, especially as the game ages.

In 2023, Amazon Games announced upcoming titles from internationally renowned franchises, grew studio teams in Montreal, Orange County and San Diego, unveiled plans for a variety of new titles, expanded the entertaining worlds of existing games, popped up at events throughout the industry, and worked hard to give back and expand inclusion in the games industry. For a synopsis of the past year, check out the highlights below.

After years of waiting, we finally know the release timeline of GTA 6. Rockstar Games has announced that GTA 6 will be released in 2025, almost 12 years after the launch of GTA 5. The company has also revealed that it will be coming to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S systems, meaning that PC players might have to wait before getting their hands on the next Grand Theft Auto game. Even though its launch is almost two years away, GTA 6 has already started shattering records. The GTA 6 trailer amassed a staggering 93 million views in the first 24 hours, breaking the record for most views in the initial 24-hour period for a non-music video, overtaking the previous record of YouTuber Mr. Beast. The game's trailer offered an amazing first glimpse into the world of GTA 6 but it did not delve into details. However, leaks have suggested the presence of stellar elements that could make GTA 6 one of the best games of all time. Check out 5 exciting gameplay elements coming to the next Grand Theft Auto game.

Cyberpunk 2077 came out on December 10, 2022, nearly three years ago. It was a mess at launch, so bad in fact that it was pulled from the PlayStation store amidst an influx of refund demands. CD Projekt Red got to work on updating the game to fix the myriad problems plaguing performance, while also working to introduce some of the key promises absent in the final game such as a working metro, ultimately delaying DLC plans.

Throne and Liberty has been out in Korea for a month now, and it looks like anyone trying to get in with a foreign account will have a tough time thanks to new changes. 

Emma Stone has an update on Cruella 2, the long-awaited sequel to her Cruella de Vil origin story – but don't get your hopes up. 

In an industry that’s been as focused on mergers and acquisitions as the games industry has been in recent years, major companies that have retained their independence have been the focal point of much speculation related to future acquisitions. Naturally, The Witcher and Cyberpunk developer CD Projekt has frequently been brought up in such conversations- though the Polish company itself has no intentions of being acquired.

Cyberpunk 2077 might very well be the best-looking PC title to date, and this short video shows how insanely realistic the game can look.

Being at the forefront of the franchise, the protagonists of the series can make or break a game, and some characters certainly rank better than others in the grand scheme of things. With each having a distinct personality, a unique story, and an important role in the game, they're each integral to the world of in their own special ways — but when it comes to the enjoyment of the player, there are some prominent front-runners (and some equally prominent underdogs).

It’s been three weeks and change since Rockstar Games played Santa Claus by giving everyone their first look at Grand Theft Auto 6 ahead of its vague 2025 release date. In that time, thirsty fans have watched the record-setting trailer more than 160 million times, which was apparently more than enough research to recreate the video in just about every game, style, and format under the sun.

One particular part in the first trailer could be an indicator of one of the upcoming game's major features. The trailer introduced players to the game's main protagonists, Lucia and Jason, and showcased a revamped, modernized version of Vice City and the wider Florida-inspired area of Leonida, with some of its more eccentric citizens on full display through in-game social media videos.

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.

With a Grand Theft Auto 6 trailer on the horizon, Netflix just got its hands on Rockstar Games’ Grand Theft Auto: The Trilogy — The Definitive Edition, the company announced today.

It is an exciting time to be a Grand Theft Auto fan. After nearly 10 years of waiting, Rockstar Games finally announced the next GTA game, colloquially called GTA 6. The game's trailer is set to arrive in December, a month which also marks the 25th anniversary of Rockstar Games. While no other information about the game was revealed, last year's leaked footage has already given us a glimpse into the world of GTA 6, what it could offer, and what it could look like. So, if you've been patiently waiting for GTA 6, then know exciting details about it.

NCSoft’s Q3 financial report is out, and the company is reporting declining revenue once again, primarily from its mobile portfolio. The company’s PC MMORPGS remained strong.

2023 has been a great year for games, no doubt — but it’s a lot, isn’t it? There are so many brilliant games clamoring for our attention, and a lot of them are quite busy, noisy, or complex in themselves. Alan Wake 2 is an intense, fractured, and scary psychotropic horror game. Spider-Man 2 is a whole, bustling city full of slick distractions. Super Mario Bros. Wonder is an ever-shifting psychedelic fever dream of a platformer. Or maybe you’re considering resuming one of this year’s weighty role-playing games mid-playthrough — Starfield, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, or Baldur’s Gate 3. Somehow, Diablo 4 is already deep into its second season. It’s all a bit overwhelming.

GTA 6 leaks: The Grand Theft Auto series is one of the most popular game franchises of all time, selling hundreds of millions of copies. The latest entry into the series is GTA 5 which launched in 2013. Since then, it has gone from strength to strength, entertaining millions of players throughout the decade and becoming the second-best-selling video game of all time. Despite this massive popularity, the company behind the game has been very slow in releasing the next version and hardcore GTA fans have been left waiting. The sequel, called GTA 6, is expected to be released, but the launch date is still a secret. While there is hardly any official information out there, leaks and rumours have given a glimpse into Rockstar's next big game, leaving fans excited.

GTA 6 leak: Hardcore gamers around the world have been patiently waiting for any news about Grand Theft Auto 6 or GTA 6. It is the rumoured sequel to 2013's GTA 5 which has become the second best-selling video game of all time, raising the bar of open-world gameplay. If 2018's Red Dead Redemption 2, which had a massive open world full of life, is anything to go by, then the next big GTA game could be the one that pushes the boundaries of gaming. While Rockstar Games has officially confirmed the development of GTA 6, no other details have been revealed yet.

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.

From our internal studios and development partners, to Prime Gaming and more, the past few months saw a lot of activity at Amazon Games. Players got a first look at previews for upcoming titles THRONE AND LIBERTY and BLUE PROTOCOL, with both games showcased to media at the world’s largest gaming event — gamescom. New seasons and expansions launched for New World and Lost Ark. Plus, our Prime Gaming members got to enjoy loads of free games along with a great selection of in-game content for some of today’s most sought-after titles.

I've decided to base part of my personality around liking Cyberpunk 2077. I thought I was long-since past the point when it was possible to construct my identity around liking a piece of media, but here I am, aged 38, researching tattoos.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty players really wish they could romance one character in particular.

Phantom Liberty and Update 2.0 might have made a lot of improvements to Cyberpunk 2077 but one new bug has introduced a haunted police car to Night City.

When it comes to cyberpunk, I'm a simpleton: I'm always chasing the initial radioactive wave of cool that emanated from the pages of William Gibson's Neuromancer and its prequel short story Johnny Mnemonic. When I saw the monowire cyberware in Cyberpunk 2077, I knew it was the weapon for me, and I was even more excited when Cyberpunk director Gabe Amatangelo recommended a particular monowire build to me, capitalizing on all the changes to Cyberpunk's skill system in 2.0 and Phantom Liberty, in an interview this week.

Here's how to get the Errata Thermal Katana whether you own Phantom Liberty or not.

Cyberpunk 2077's first (and last) expansion is out now on PS5. Phantom Liberty adds a whole new storyline and district to CD Projekt Red's open world RPG, and the initial reception has been incredibly positive. Of course, it helps that the base game has been significantly improved with Update 2.0 — which dropped just five days ago at the time of writing.

With the free 2.0 update and the Phantom Liberty expansion including Path Tracing, Cyberpunk 2077 has again set a new benchmark for PC gaming. This new Cyberpunk 2077 Path Tracing mod makes the game even more demanding.

In Phantom Liberty’s Lucretia My Reflection, President Myers must be escorted to safety through the tunnels of Dogtown. After reaching a fork, there’s the chance to make progress through a room with security cameras and a steaming hot pipe. The issue is, there is no way either you or the president will walk under that pipe without burning to death. This triggers a puzzle to find a valve around the area and use it to stop the steam from flowing through the pipes. That way, you can both get around this door safely.

So you’re ready to start Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, but you’re not sure when’s the best time to begin the expansion? Well, having played the full DLC and completed its various endings, I can tell you exactly where to begin to get the best experience from Phantom Liberty in a way that makes sense within the full story.

The threat of a lawsuit is looming over Facebook as it faces allegations of biased advertisement algorithms. The Meta-owned social media platform in August agreed to the European Union's Digital Services Act (DSA) including restrictions on targeting ads at minors as well as ads based on gender or race. However, Facebook has come under scrutiny over a class action lawsuit filed against it in 2020, which alleges that the platform's ad algorithms discriminated against older people, not showing ads for insurance. While it was initially declared that the social media platform was safe from any lawsuits, it isn't the case anymore, according to the court. Here's what you need to know.

CD Projekt have dropped the launch trailer for Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, in great news for fans of driving-combat-cutscene montages and wailing, rain-slicked theme tunes, but less great news, apparently, for mega fans of the male-presenting incarnation of player character V, voiced by Gavin Drea. I haven't touched Cyberpunk since release in 2020, and I'm sort of intrigued to discover that the female-presenting version of the protagonist, voiced by Cherami Leigh, has become the default for marketing purposes.

Cyberpunk 2077 fans are gearing up to start the significant expansion for the game Phantom Liberty. This title launched in a disastrous state. However, CD Projekt Red worked hard to turn things around. As a result, this likely prompted several features and expansions to be scrapped. Fortunately, when the developers turned things around for Cyberpunk 2077, it also came with enough time to warrant the arrival of one expansion. Before you dive into Phantom Liberty and see just what has been added to Night City, it’s worth noting that all of your mods active in the game will be turned off.

Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty weighs in the 'biggest' on Xbox Series X|S, CD Projekt Red has revealed.

There is quite a bit of excitement over Cyberpunk 2077 again. The video game that had the player’s attention around the world leading up to its launch is soon getting a resurgence. While that initial launch for the base game was anything but perfect, the developers are getting ready for another notable release. I’m sure there is quite a bit of tension as the development team prepares players for Phantom Liberty in hopes they don’t see another release reception like the base game. However, if you plan to play through the new expansion, starting from a fresh new save is best. That’s according to CD Projekt Red, who mentioned that the 2.0 update will make many changes. Some of these changes are best enjoyed from a brand-new game file.

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.

If you’re a fan of Cyberpunk 2077, you know that the game launch was pretty rough. It took the developers quite a long time, too, in order to get the game turned around. However, the state of the game from when it first launched to now is drastically different. But it’s about to get even better later this month with the big 2.0 update. Unfortunately, this update will only land on the latest generation of platforms. Today, we’re finding out when the 2.0 update will be available for players to download. 

Phantom Liberty, the first and only major expansion for Cyberpunk 2077, is nearly here. The highly anticipated DLC, which adds new quests, stories, locations, characters, and abilities, will be accompanied by a major update to the base game that adds all-new, highly requested gameplay systems.

PC players looking to max out the settings on may need to upgrade their machine before the long-awaited expansion pack releases according to one CD Projekt Red developer. Set to be released on September 26 alongside the free Update 2.0, the Phantom Liberty DLC introduces new gameplay features to Cyberpunk 2077 in addition to adding new story content for players to explore.

Later this week, CD Projekt RED will be revealing new details on Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty in a new episode of Night City Wire, but ahead of that, the developer is, of course, continuing to ramp up the excitement surrounding the expansion’s imminent launch with smaller tidbits.

Hype surrounding Cyberpunk 2077 has been steadily increasing, thanks to the looming launch of its expansion, Phantom Liberty, and ahead of that release, CD Projekt RED is gearing up to reveal more new gameplay and details.

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 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.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is nearly upon us. The upcoming expansion for CD Projekt’s Red’s 2020 open-world action RPG is set to be released on Sept. 26. It promises not only a new campaign in a location called Dogtown (along with a new character played by Idris Elba named Solomon Reed), but also a slew of redesigns to the game’s core systems with Update 2.0. A new trailer unveiled at Gamescom 2023 this Tuesday shines more light on the latter additions to Cyberpunk 2077, including additional weapons, a fresh skill tree, and revamped vehicular combat.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, the upcoming current-gen-exclusive expansion to CD Projekt Red’s divisive sci-fi RPG, launches in just a few short weeks. We’ve got a few peeks at gameplay since the expansion was announced last year, but fans have been hungry for more, and today at the big Geoff-Keighly-produced Gamescom Opening Night Live show we got another look at Phantom Liberty in action.

Today, NCSoft confirmed during its quarterly earnings call that the MMORPG Throne and Liberty will launch in Q4 2023 in South Korea, while the Western release has been delayed to 2024.

Advancements in technology have helped various industries and services to upscale their operations and that even includes the police. However, such technologies are not always credible and can lead to serious repercussions, as has just become very clear. One such technology called facial recognition has been widely discussed among experts, but its faults have not been highlighted. And now, in Detroit, a 32-year-old pregnant woman has been falsely accused and even arrested for heinous crimes that she did not commit due to a faulty facial recognition match.

The studio behind The Witcher and Cyberpunk video game series is parting ways with a chunk of its staff. CD Projekt Red is laying off around 100 workers, which it estimates is roughly 9% of the entire team.
