Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.0 is a major overhaul of the game, releasing later today ahead of the Phantom Liberty expansion launching next week
The long-awaited Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.0 completely overhauls the game, and it’s free! Here’s what time the game-changing update goes live.
We don’t need to regale you with the tale of how Cyberpunk 2077 was a massive disappointment at launch. In the three years since CD Projekt Red has been slowly improving the game, and this has culminated in the soon-to-be-released Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty DLC expansion. Our gaming editor Nathan Bliss’ Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty review was pretty positive, with the update earning a four-star review score.
While the DLC is exciting, perhaps the most interesting part of Phantom Liberty’s launch is the Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.0 release, which is arriving ahead of the expansion. Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.0 is set to completely overhaul the base game, with changes to perks, the combat, the skill tree system, and most notably, revamping the police AI, with car chases now possible.
Despite being linked to the Phantom Liberty Expansion, which launches on Tuesday, September 26, update 2.0 is actually releasing a bit earlier on Thursday, September 21 (that’s today!). While CD Projekt Red hasn’t released a Cyberpunk 2077 update 2.0 release time map as it did for the Phantom Liberty release time, thanks to a tweet from CD Projekt Red community manager @Lilayaah, we have a decent idea of when the update will arrive.
