Although Cyberpunk 2077 wasn’t exactly blessed with an ideal launch, CD Projekt Red slowly regained control of the situation by trying to make the experience better for its fans. Since its messy initial release, the action role-playing game has received various updates, successfully improving the title with each one, along with a universally acclaimed anime series called Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.
All of these aspects combined finally gave CDPR fans enough reason to put their collective faith back in the developer.
And the game doesn’t seem to be stopping its winning streak anytime soon because of an upcoming version 2.0, which is apparently so big that it deserves a brand new playthrough, according to CDPR.
CDPR Isn’t Messing Around With Cyberpunk 2077 Version 2.0
CD Projekt Red is no stranger to making bold claims about its highly divisive title, Cyberpunk 2077, and it seems like the tradition is continuing with the game’s upcoming version 2.0. CDPR shared the latest announcement on X, addressing the game’s community as “chooms” while talking about approximately how big the upcoming update is going to be.
If anything, this shows how much the developer is willing to bet on its ambitious video game, and rightfully so, because Cyberpunk 2077 has finally turned into the fulfilling experience it was always meant to be, more or less.

Naturally, for better or worse, fans are once again extremely excited for the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 version 2.0 update while also looking forward to the highly anticipated DLC expansion called Phantom Liberty. According to developer CD Projekt Red, Cyberpunk 2077 version 2.0 is so massive that it warrants a completely new save.
The aforementioned post on X highlights the fact that players will be able to seamlessly continue their current playthrough saves into the updated version, but it is advised to start the game from the very beginning.
