During Gamescom Opening Night Live, developer CD Projekt Red confirmed Cyberpunk 2077’s base game would get a series of upgrades as part of Update 2.0. To clarify what’s part of the free update and what’s part of the upcoming Phantom Liberty paid expansion, the company has released a handy infographic. The Phantom Liberty expansion launches on September 26 on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
