Cyberpunk 2077 DLC Price Revealed
Cyberpunk 2077’s next DLC, Phantom Liberty, won’t be a free: we’re estimating it will cost between $20-$30.

The previously revealed expansion for the infamous Cyberpunk 2077, titled Phantom Liberty, won’t be a free DLC. This was confirmed by CD Projekt RED (CDPR), but the company hasn’t revealed the exact pricing for the upcoming content. While paid expansions aren’t a novelty in the gaming world, they are traditionally cheaper than the base game; some gamers believe that CDPR should make the DLC free as additional recompense for all the stress gamers had to go through during the game’s initial release.
According to Destructoid, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty still doesn’t have an official release date, but we know it’s supposed to launch sometime next year. The official pricing still remains a mystery, but if we take into account that the base game cost $60 at launch, and we take the pricing of The Witcher DLCs — the franchise that’s currently expanding — we can easily assume that the upcoming content shouldn’t cost more than $20. If we factor in that Ubisoft and other developers increased the prices of their AAA gaming titles, we can bump up that number to no more than $30.
Anything more than $30 could put CDPR in the crosshairs of another gaming riot, which already took place during Cyberpunk 2077’s launch after gamers found out that they waited eight years for a gaming title that didn’t work. They should at least have a good refund policy in place this time if all the hype surrounding the upcoming content turns out the be nothing but a misleading marketing masterplan. Otherwise, Cyberpunk 2077 might end up being the downfall of CDPR.
For those that aren’t familiar with the story, Cyberpunk 2077 was so disappointingly bad at launch that gamers demanded refunds. Unfortunately, the company never intended to return the money, which caused a massive wave of controversies, apologies, and the game’s subsequent removal from various digital storefronts, with the end result being the near ruination of CD Projekt RED, whose stock prices have dropped by nearly 60% since.
In fact, they still haven’t recovered.
They eventually made the game playable, and Cyberpunk 2077 was reinstated to its position on various digital storefronts. CD Projekt RED actually dealt insane price cutbacks as means of promoting the game, and there were instances in which you could purchase the game for a mere $5 online. Needless to say, the game is currently operational, and its fandom is pleased with the outcome, but the same can’t be said in regard to the upcoming expansion.
Will it suffer the same issues as the main game? Should it be free as recompense for all the troubles and hours of lost progress gamers had to deal with? Well, the truth is that Cyberpunk 2077 already had a few smaller DLCs which introduced various mods and cosmetics. This isn’t typical downloadable content; Phantom Liberty is a narrative expansion, and as such, it’s much more than a mere DLC.
We’re going to voice an unpopular opinion here: teams that work on these games are funded through paid releases and aren’t responsible for the bad calls made by their higher-ups.
Boycotting a paid DLC in any way would result in cutbacks in their paychecks, not the paycheck of their CEO, CFO, or COO, whose bad calls made Cyberpunk 2077 as lousy as it was when it was released two years ago.
Make that $30, since Ubisoft and other developers raised the prices of games, and Sony and Microsoft bumping up the prices of their respective gaming consoles.
Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty DLC Confirmed To Be Paid | GameSpot News — GS News Updates
CD Projekt Red confirms Cyberpunk’s Phantom Liberty DLC will have a price tag, and details on how Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2’s shared battle pass will work.
By on
For anyone hoping that Cyberpunk 2077’s big DLC expansion, Phantom Liberty, was going to be a free addon, guess again, as CD Projekt Red’s global PR director Radek Grabowski has confirmed that if will have a pricetag.
So much for liberty.
Although I guess they did say it was a phantom.
Speaking to GamesRadar, Grabowski confirmed that «as for the expansion’s pricing — we have not revealed exact details yet, but it will be a paid one.»
While we don’t have any specific pricing information for the DLC, expansions for The Witcher 3, Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine, cost $10 and $20 at their time of release, respectively, with the latter being a much bigger expansion.
Like The Witcher 3—which has a free next-gen update on the way—Cyberpunk 2077 also received a substantial amount of free DLC after launch, with the Edgerunners update providing a notable amount of free cosmetics, weapons, and even an extra narrative thread.
Something that will be free is Call of Duty Warzone 2.0, which recently revealed that its battle pass is nonlinear, but we now have new details on exactly how that will work.
Instead of having a linear pass of 100 tiers of unlockable items, Season 1 of Modern Warfare 2 reinvents the battle pass as a multi-sector combat map.
The map has at least 20 sectors with five items in each sector. Players will unlock items using earned Battle Token Tier Skips across this map, with the freedom to choose their path and focus on the items they want most.
The Season 1 battle pass will still include 20 free tiers for players to unlock, which include the Victus XMR sniper rifle and the BAS-P submachine gun as this season’s new unlockable weapons. Activision says it will take players 15 Token Tier Skips if they head straight from the map’s first sector toward sectors A6 or A7, and 30 to unlock both weapons. As for the season’s new operator, the pass introduces Zosar «Zeus» Kalu as the operator available within the premium tiers of pass. Zeus is an instant unlock when purchasing the premium battle pass.
The Season 1 pass is divided into 21 different combat sectors, from A0 to A20. Sectors A1 to A20 are all connected to each other. Once players have unlocked all the rewards in all combat sectors from A0 to A20, there’s an additional «victory sector» with bonus rewards.
The battle pass contains 1,400 total CoD Points. Players can earn 400 free CP within the pass, plus 1,000 more with premium pass and victory sector, allowing players to earn back the CoD Points spent purchasing the full pass.

In early September, CD Projekt RED announced the add-on Phantom Liberty for Cyberpunk 2077 , which is scheduled for release next year.
The developers describe the content as a «spy thriller» and claim that Keanu Reeves will return as Johnny Silverhand .
Some of the players thought that the add-on would be free, but studio PR director Radek Grabowski decided to dot the i’s, specifying in the comments GamesRadar+ that new content would have to be bought.
“As for the cost, we are not yet ready to reveal it. However, the add-on will be paid, ”said the developer.
At the same time, Grabowski recalled that «add-ons usually cost less than full games.» It can be assumed that with the content for Cyberpunk 2077, the company will adhere to the stated policy.
The add-on will be related to the New United States and will expand the game world by adding a new region to Nust City.
