Phantom Liberty DLC Platforms and Price
The Phantom Liberty DLC for Cyberpunk 2077 will be available for PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC (including Steam Deck). The PS4 and Xbox One versions of the game will not be able to get the update.
The price of Phantom Liberty is $30 USD. If you don’t already have the base game, you can buy the base game and an upgrade together for $80 USD.
Phantom Liberty DLC System Requirements
CD Projekt Red has changed the PC requirements for Cyberpunk 2077 to match the changes. Notably, Cyberpunk will stop supporting HDDs for the minimum requirements. The developer stated that SSDs offer faster loading times, better streaming, and better overall performance than HDDs.
Cyberpunk 2077 owners whose systems don’t meet the bare requirements will still be able to play the game, but CD Projekt Red will “stop actively supporting them and stop testing the game on those setups” once the update comes out.
Phantom Liberty DLC Storyline
The original Phantom Liberty teaser showed a vast stadium, which was the first hint that the DLC takes place in the Pacifica District, which is located in the southwestern section of the Cyberpunk 2077 map. It also provides a quick view of a greenhouse, hinting at the Biotechnica Flats. However, don’t expect to see many familiar areas, as the majority of the Phantom Liberty DLC takes place in a whole new section of Night City. Dogtown, as seen in the second teaser, is an important place.
Phantom Liberty begins soon after Cyberpunk 2077 finishes, with V wondering how to get Johnny Silverhand out of their head, according to the previews at Summer Games Fest. A chance presents to bring V to Dogtown just as they are figuring out a solution.
Phantom Liberty will undoubtedly take V to a variety of locations as part of the main adventure, but ignore the side quests at your risk. Phantom Liberty’s best side job incorporates espionage and moral decision-making – two wonderful flavors that make cyberpunk fiction taste amazing.

A CDPR representative acknowledged that “budget-wise, Phantom Liberty will be the largest expansion in CDPR’s history,” but that “game-scope-related details will be revealed at a later time.”
Thankfully, Phantom Liberty has a skip option for people who want to make a new save but want to jump right into the action. Given the huge changes in the free update, CD Projekt Red urged players to start a new game for 2.0, and in our experience, this is the best way to get the most out of Cyberpunk 2077.
