Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.0 Gives a Fresh Touch, Making It a Brand New Game

CD Projekt Red is currently hard at work preparing for the launch of the upcoming DLC of their blockbuster sci-fi RPG Cyberpunk 2077. The developer cannot get a breather while they work on and simultaneously promote this massive addition to an already massive game.

They have to convince people to buy Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty this time around. The memories of Cyberpunk 2077’s bugs and glitches are still fresh. But CD Projekt Red knows exactly how to make amends; they are doing so by overhauling the base game before the DLC drops, and they seem to have changed the game!

Update 2.0 would turn Cyberpunk 2077 almost into a new game

Numerous performance issues, bad optimization, glitches, and progress-halting bugs met fans when they excitedly launched Cyberpunk 2077 for the first time back in 2020. Developer CD Projekt Red instantly got to work trying to fix that travesty, but they were somewhat late. The game’s condition and its broken promises quickly became the center of conversations everywhere.

They did work hard to fix it, though, and they claim that with update 2.0, they have overhauled the game so much that it’s pretty much a new game. The game pretty much changes everything; it changes the controls. It changes skills; they added a bunch of new perks. They even mentioned that pretty much each spot on the new skill tree had something new to offer players. Finally, they have added a new movement system, allowing for faster and more dynamic vehicular combat.

Changing a game’s mechanics so long after its launch might sound weird to some gamers, but Cyberpunk 2077 is a game that has been evolving since its launch. And even though it’s a game that is loved by many, it still has a bunch of flaws. That’s why it’s only good that CD Projekt Red decided to fix it before the DLC drops.

DLC would be a beast of its own nation

The upcoming DLC for Cyberpunk 2077, called Phantom Liberty, has Keanu Reeves reprising his role as Johnny Silverhand from the original title. The game also stars actor Idris Elba in a crucial role. But the big news is that this DLC is said to be so heavy on PCs that developers have requested that gamers check their PC’s cooling before playing it.

CD Projekt Red is known for making graphically taxing games. It would not be a surprise if Phantom Liberty was pretty demanding. Let’s just hope it is better optimized than the original game.
