Phantom Liberty, the hotly-anticipated expansion to CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077, has arrived. A spy thriller starring Idris Elba as FIA agent Solomon Reed, this meaty add-on introduces players to the district of Dogtown, a lawless enclave run by smugglers, fixers, and other shady individuals.
In addition to its new narrative, Phantom Liberty arrives alongside a broader gameplay overhaul of Cyberpunk 2077 called Update 2.0. Several of the base game's systems-perks, skill trees, cyberware, and more-have been reworked to allow for greater roleplaying freedom and deeper immersion.
It's a lot to take in, especially if you're jumping in for the first time since Cyberpunk 2077's launch in 2020, so we've put together a starter guide to help smooth the transition. Read on for everything you need to know about Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty and Update 2.0, including a primer on all the new content and how to access it, plus some general tips and ideas for character builds to make the most of all the new mechanics.
