After almost three years since its disastrous launch, CD Projekt Red's futuristic neon-lit RPG is almost ready for its first expansion, titled Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty. While the original game was released on the last generation of consoles, the results were unplayable, to say the least. For Phantom Liberty, the Polish developer/publisher has taken the decision to make it exclusive to Xbox Series X|S and the PlayStation 5 alongside PC, which has also had a significant boost to its system requirements since release.

Phantom Liberty is going to be Cyberpunk 2077's first and only major expansion. It will add a new region called Dogtown that has its own faction, and a storyline involving the President of the New United States of America and Solomon Reed, portrayed by Idris Elba. It will also introduce a major free update titled 2.0, which will completely revamp some of the game's major core systems as requested by players, including the skill tree, vehicle combat, and police response.

Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty will be released on September 26, 2023. The countdown for its release date and time is as follows.
