The release of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, a sprawling new addition to CD Projekt Red’s sci-fi RPG, has ignited excitement among players eager to explore Night City’s cyberpunk universe. However, for those still clinging to last-gen consoles, a dose of disappointment awaits, as it appears that this expansion is not on the menu for PS4 or Xbox One users.
While the original Cyberpunk 2077 was a cross-generation release, Phantom Liberty charts a different course. Regrettably, the expansion isn’t accessible for those on the previous console models.
To venture into the enticing realm of Phantom Liberty, players are obliged to update the base game to Patch 2.0, an update exclusively available on the latest PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. The decision to exclude last-gen consoles likely hinges on the expansion’s demanding nature.
Phantom Liberty is a substantial expansion replete with breathtaking visuals, possibly pushing the limits of what the older systems can handle. Although it was commendable that CD Projekt Red managed to make the base game run on these consoles, it seems the capabilities of the previous generation have met their match.
As it stands, the exclusive platforms for Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty are PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC. Those choosing to upgrade their consoles can seamlessly transfer their saved progress across console generations. Phantom Liberty accommodates both old and new saves, granting players the freedom to pick up their adventure where they left off.
Despite the tumultuous launch, Cyberpunk 2077 has undergone substantial refinements, offering a much more polished and enjoyable gameplay experience. However, it still falls slightly short of its initial promises.
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty invites players to embark on a high-stakes espionage mission to rescue the NUSA President, with the enigmatic Solomon Reed by their side. This expansion immerses players in the perilous district of Dogtown, under the rule of the formidable warlord Kurt Hansen, delivering a fresh and exhilarating narrative within the heart of Night City.
