Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty PC system requirements revealed, 12 GB RAM minimum

The next chapter of Cyberpunk 2077 is almost upon us, with Phantom Liberty set to completely revolutionize the 2020 action RPG from CD Projekt Red. The latest trailer premiered at Xbox Games Showcase 2023, featuring cinematic cutscenes and gameplay. The developer shared the official PC system requirements for the upcoming expansion, along with a revamped list for the base game.

Cyberpunk 2077 had a tumultuous launch, failing to live up to its hype and expectations because of its numerous technical issues and major bugs in gameplay systems and mechanics. The problems were so severe that Sony removed the title from the PlayStation Store at one point and offered refunds to players.

However, with several patches and updates, things have been steered for the better. The official description for the Phantom Liberty expansion is as follows:

"Phantom Liberty is a new spy-thriller adventure for Cyberpunk 2077. Return as cyber-enhanced mercenary V and embark on a high-stakes mission of espionage and intrigue to save the NUS President. In the dangerous district of Dogtown, you must forge alliances within a web of shattered loyalties and sinister political machinations. Do you have what it takes to survive?"
