You can play Cyberpunk 2077's big new free update, Update 2.0, very soon. Cyberpunk 2077 is a pretty infamous game at this point. Even those who haven't played it likely know a great deal about it due to its controversial nature. After years of trailers, promises, and absurd levels of hype, CD Projekt Red released Cyberpunk 2077 to players in December 2020. Unfortunately, it was a pretty big disaster. While some PC players claimed to have no major issues, the game was a trainwreck on consoles and resulted in mass refunds and the game even being outright removed from the PlayStation Store for months. It wasn't a pretty sight and it is a game that has been updated constantly since its release. However, Cyberpunk 2077 is getting one last truly massive update before the team moves on to what's next.

While there will likely be additional patches, Update 2.0 is a huge content update that dramatically overhauls elements of the game from combat to progression to how the police function. It's very dense and is something CD Projekt Red has hyped up a great deal for the last several months. Now, with Phantom Liberty on the horizon, fans are wondering when they can delve into all the new changes. The good news is that it will be before Phantom Liberty! You can start playing Update 2.0 on September 21st, five full days before the release of Phantom Liberty. This update is totally free, so everyone who owns the game on current-gen consoles and PC will have access to it so long as they update their game. If you're checking it out on PC, be warned, as CD Projekt Red has noted it could push your system to its limits. As for what's specifically included, check out the breakdown below.
