Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty won’t be a free-to-play expansion.

On June 11, the Xbox Showcase gave fans a closer look at Cyberpunk 2077's forthcoming DLC Phantom Liberty. The new addition adds a subplot to the main game focusing on the Dogtown disputes in Night City.

V then joins the New United States of America and Solomon Reed, played by Idris Elba. The added material is a substantial improvement to the game.

What is Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty?

Free updates have added more material to the game but Phantom Liberty is more than just a bug fix and some decorative goodies. Instead, it introduces a new playable plot while reworking the previous experience.

As Kotaku's Kenneth Shepard put it, "Phantom Liberty seemed to approximate the game we thought we were getting, the one promised by all the hype and trailers before release." Phantom Liberty has been compared to The Witcher 3's renowned Blood and Wine DLC.

Is Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty free?

The next expansion will not be free as it will cost $30/£25 and the DLC is currently available for pre-order on the PlayStation Store. Phantom Liberty will cost far more than The Witcher 3's two expansions, which costs merely £8/$10 and £12/$15, respectively.

The expansion will go live on September 26, 2023. It takes place before the conclusion of the main game and presents a brand new side tale for players to immerse themselves in. It also wholly overhauls many of the game's previous mechanics, resulting in a new Cyberpunk 2077 experience.

Is Phantom Liberty as graphically demanding as Cyberpunk 2077?

Cyberpunk 2077 has a reputation for being a demanding PC game, and developer CD Projekt Red has increased the game's system requirements to reflect this ahead of its next expansion, Phantom Liberty.

The amended standards link particular GPUs and CPUs to resolution and goal frame rates but as the blog announcing the change notes, you still need to reach that level of performance. The most significant modification is that an SSD must fulfil the game's minimal specifications.

Even the upcoming Starfield will require an SSD to run on a PC. Many PC gamers have one these days, but it's worth upgrading if you don't. The updated requirements occasionally imply that low-end PCs won't be able to run the game.
