Cyberpunk 2077 released in 2020 with a high level of criticism among critics and fans. Nevertheless it has inspired three new and free mod quests, but things were not always this optimistic. When the title released gamers were hoping for an exciting futuristic experience with dynamic characters and blossoming plot points. Instead they were met with bugs, crashes, and performance issues.
Although the aspects players wanted from the CD Projekt Red title existed, they were hidden under a huge pile of technical issues. Three years later, the Cyberpunk 2077 developers are still working on a redemption arc. Some players who were originally frustrated by the setbacks, have since returned to Night City and found the world to be a completely different experience.

Since some of the major Cyberpunk 2077 overhauls have released and patched the action RPG, it has been given new hope. Gone are the days when the title was banned from the PlayStation Store and money returned to customers. CD Projekt Red has worked to reinvigorate Cyberpunk 2077 and patched the most serious of issues. Players can now return to the base game and play as protagonist, V, without the game crashing every 20 minutes.
CD Projekt Red still believes in Cyberpunk 2077 and on September 26, Idris Elba will helm the Phantom Liberty DLC. While the length of this paid DLC has not been specified, it has been compared to the Hearts of Stone and Blood and Wine content released for The Witcher 3.
And if you cannot wait for Phantom Liberty to drop, there are now three free-fan made quest mods available on NexusMods for Cyberpunk 2077. The three missions are titled: One More Light, Hot Fuzz, and Californication. They require a romance connection with Judy, so be sure you’ve completed those tasks before grabbing the mod.
What Will Be Covered In the Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty Story?
If you can wait for Phantom Liberty to release without the three free mods, but know nothing about the upcoming DLC, there is some exciting content ahead. According to a description posted by the PlayStation Store, the DLC is about the following:
“Phantom Liberty is a new spy-thriller adventure for Cyberpunk 2077. When the orbital shuttle of the President of the New United States of America is shot down over the deadliest district of Night City, there’s only one person who can save her — you. Become V, a cyberpunk for hire, and dive deep into a tangled web of espionage and political intrigue, unraveling a story that connects the highest echelons of power with the brutal world of black-market mercenaries.
Infiltrate Dogtown, a city-within-a-city run by a trigger-happy militia and ruled by a leader with an iron fist. With the help of NUSA sleeper agent Solomon Reed (Idris Elba) and the support of Johnny Silverhand (Keanu Reeves), unravel a web of shattered loyalties and use your every skill to survive in a fractured world of desperate hustlers, shadowy netrunners, and ruthless mercenaries. Built with the power of next-gen hardware in mind, Phantom Liberty offers brand-new gameplay mechanics, nail-biting courier jobs, gigs, and missions — and a thrilling main quest where freedom and loyalty always come at a price.”
Gamers are excited to get their hands on this next Cyberpunk 2077 adventure. It is also great to see CD Projekt Red working with other big names like Idris Elba. The developer is working hard to revive its RPG, and the title is certainly showing signs of life. When Phantom Liberty has finally released, this will not be the end of Cyberpunk 2077, since it has already been announced that a prequel title will be coming to fans in the future.
