CD Projekt RED has released the highly anticipated expansion Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, a milestone that the studio itself calls the largest chapter in its catalog to date. The DLC has already drawn early impressions from Steam reviewers, signaling a strong start for Night City’s newest chapter.

As this note is written, the Phantom Liberty score on Steam sits at an impressive 95 percent, reflecting positive vibes from players who have spent time with the content and its new systems.

This is what gamers are saying:

“It’s thrilling to see the game finally step out of Early Access and into a more complete form,” writes Vira L.

“Here’s a tip: wait a few years after launch to pick up AAA titles—Cyberpunk 2077 is proving its staying power,” comments AJ.

“Many players appreciated that the team did not abandon the game after a rocky start. This DLC together with Update 2.0 makes Night City feel alive again. For those who still harbor doubts about Cyberpunk 2077, a second chance is worth the journey; it may surprise you,” notes Mtropele.

“Yo-Ho-Ho! Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is here. Looks like it will be a blast,” says TheOneKat.

“Keanu Reeves and Idris Elba share the screen in one standout moment. It would be amazing to see more content in this universe, perhaps another tale in the Edgerunners spirit. Please keep expanding this franchise,” remarks Judy Alvarez.

In addition to the story missions, players will explore a fresh area known as Dogtown, encounter a cast of new characters, and experience plenty of new gameplay moments, including appearances by notable actors. Idris Elba, renowned for roles across major films, brings a memorable performance to the new content experience.

It is worth noting that a few days before Phantom Liberty hit the streets, a major Update 2.0 rolled out, introducing a wave of improvements and new features. Early comparisons show how the game evolves from the 1.0 baseline to the latest build, highlighting a significant shift in progression, balance, and world interaction for players returning to the city.

A recent editorial discussion delves into the update’s impact, outlining what changes players can expect and how these affect pacing, exploration, and combat feel within Night City.

Phantom Liberty and its companion update are not available in the Russian market, and the add-on carries text rather than voice work in that region, factors that have shaped how some players experience the new content.

A notable update in the gaming landscape continues to spark conversations about character development, narrative choice, and post-release support—topics fans keep debating as they revisit Night City with fresh eyes.
