Cyberpunk 2077 is getting two major updates this month. We already know about the new expansion, Phantom Liberty, which will add a bunch of new content to the game, but those on the base game will be getting a number of major upgrades too through the Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 update.
Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.0 will apply to the base version of the game on PC, Xbox Series X/S and PS5, bringing players a completely redesigned skill tree and perks system, revamped cyberware system, vehicle combat and car chases, improvements to AI, a full new police system, additional UI improvements, changes to items, crafting and loot drops and new radio stations.
Those picking up the paid Phantom Liberty expansion will get a few extras. The new zone in Night City, Dogtown, will only be accessible to those with the expansion. Naturally, owning the expansion also grants you access to all the new quests, gigs and boss fights. Another expansion-exclusive feature is the addition of new vehicle missions and airdrops, offering endless ‘dynamic' events for players to chase.
The new Relic skill tree and abilities will be exclusive to owners of the expansion, as will all the new items introduced for it. Owners of the expansion will be able to equip missile launchers to their cars and you'll get an increased level cap, moving from 50 to 60.
CD Projekt Red clarified the expansion-exclusive content in an update last week. As expected, if you want access to all new playable content, you'll want to buy the expansion. If not, you'll still get plenty of fresh revamps to spice up a new playthrough of the base game.
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty and the 2.0 update will both launch on the 26th of September.

KitGuru Says: Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is shaping up to be a fantastic expansion but I'm a little sad that this will be the end of our journey in Night City for the foreseeable future. A sequel is on CDPR's roadmap though, so we will get a chance to return to this world at some point down the line.
