Cyberpunk 2077’s Update 2.0 overhauls perks, police, cyberware, and combat, rebuilding the game alongside the Phantom Liberty expansion.

A Major Overhaul for Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.0 was one of the biggest updates the game ever received.
The free update changed core systems, including perks, police, cyberware, combat, and vehicle gameplay. For many players, it made the game feel much closer to what they wanted at launch.
Phantom Liberty Arrives After Update 2.0
Shortly after Update 2.0, Cyberpunk 2077 received Phantom Liberty, its major story expansion.
The expansion added a new spy-thriller storyline, a new district called Dogtown, new characters, new missions, and more ways to build V.
Why Update 2.0 Mattered
Update 2.0 was important because it did more than fix bugs. It reworked large parts of the game’s progression and combat systems.
The new police system, redesigned perk trees, cyberware changes, and vehicle combat gave players a stronger reason to start a new playthrough.
Phantom Liberty Helped Complete the Comeback
Phantom Liberty helped Cyberpunk 2077 regain a lot of trust with players.
Together, Update 2.0 and the expansion became a major comeback moment for the game, turning Cyberpunk 2077 from a troubled launch story into one of gaming’s biggest redemption arcs.
