Cyberpunk 2077’s game-changing improvements aren’t locked behind the Phantom Liberty expansion

In any case, the game has come under fire from disgruntled fans who have been following all this news, mainly because some people think these improvements will lock in behind Phantom Liberty, a paid expansion priced at £24.99 / $29.99. But this is simply not the case.

This major update, which contains all of the core game fixes, will be released separately from Phantom Liberty (although it appears that it will actually be released at the same time). The CDPR confirmed this long ago, but for whatever reason, it seems to have been glossed over in apparent outrage. So, even if you don’t plan on purchasing the expansion, you can still go back to Cyberpunk 2077 with all of its improvements, once the patch drops.

This plan has been replicated by the content and broadcast creator @employee, who will voice one of the new characters in Phantom Liberty. “All of these changes also come in the base game, it’s not just in the expansion. The game has been completely redesigned with these things,” she wrote at the end of a Twitter thread worth reading if you want to learn more about the aforementioned improvements.

Are you looking forward to playing Phantom Liberty? Or maybe you’ll be starting a fresh Cyberpunk 2077 thanks to the update? Book a Night City getaway in the comments section below.
