Fans ofCyberpunk 2077have been waiting for the game’supcomingPhantom Libertyexpansionto arrive for some time now.

CD Projekt Red confirmed thatCyberpunk 2077update 2.0is now available. As promised, the update is entirely free, though it will only be available on PC and current-gen consoles. Changes start with an improved police system with broadened escalating chase behavior, as well as a passive NCPD presence throughout the city. Vehicle combat has been added, with various mechanics added or expanded to make the action feel great. Big changes have also been made to Combat AI and Netrunning.

Another major system overhaul was delivered toCyberpunk 2077’s Perk trees. Trees now feature fewer perks overall, but players will receive a much more noticeable impact on gameplay with each upgrade. The five new Perk trees include Headhunter, Netrunner, Shinobi, Solo, and Engineer. All previousCyberpunk 2077playthroughs will have their Perks reset, including a one-time option to reset Attributes.

Due to these all-encompassing changes toCyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt Red says that it recommends everyone start a new playthrough. That includes uninstalling mods until they can be updated. Players on PC should also be aware that theupdated minimum and recommendedCyberpunk 2077specificationsfor the game go into effect with the 2.0 update. Make sure to verify whether a PC can handle the updated requirements before downloadingCyberpunk 20772.0.
