Phantom Liberty is not a free update but a paid DLC. This change was confirmed on September 6, 2022, with the announcement that patch 1.6 would be the last major update for the old-gen consoles. The expansion will only be available on PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X, as CDPR has phased out support for PS4 and Xbox One, focusing on current-gen consoles and PC.

However, this is unconfirmed, and we may learn more during the Summer Game Fest 2023. The release date for the expansion is currently set for 2023, although some rumors suggest it could be as soon as August 2023. It has been described as a “spy-thriller” expansion, and it is expected to bring players back to Night City, albeit in a new district. That said, CD Projekt Red deserves credit for quashing a laundry list of bugs that plagued the game.Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, developed by CD Projekt Red (CDPR), is expected to be the only expansion to the Cyberpunk 2077 game and is already generating excitement among fans. While it will undoubtedly reinvigorate interest in Cyberpunk 2077, the underlying story is still fundamentally broken no amount of post-launch content can fix that, except for a new ending or two, maybe. Cyberpunk 2077's (now outdated) roadmap has no mention of Phantom Liberty anywhere either.ĬD Projekt Red has set a high standard for Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty, effectively repeating the same cycle that happened around the base game's release. Unfortunately, no information is provided about when it will launch or how much it could cost. If The Witcher 3's Blood and Wine expansion is a reference, one can expect a playtime of >15 hours for the main quests and double that for a completionist run.

In an interview with Polish news outlet Pariket (H/T Wccftech), CD Projekt Red's Marek Bugdol says Phantom Liberty will be the largest post-launch DLC the company has ever created. The long wait could be worth it, though, if a recent statement from a company spokesperson is true. Last year's cyber attack could have a part to play in it, too. The delay could be due to CD Projekt Red accidentally revealing its plot via an update. Despite being announced a while ago, Cyberpunk 2077's first (and only) story-driven DLC Phantom Liberty, still does not have a release date.
