Since its release earlier this month,
Cyberpunk 2077
has been intensely criticized by fans and critics throughout the gaming industry. From
angry developers confronting studio executives
to
potential lawsuits
, the game has seen its fair share of backlash since it released in a largely broken state on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
Despite the negative coverage, CD Projekt Red, the game’s developer, is continuing to update
Cyberpunk 2077
. It seems that DLC is on its way, and it may arrive fairly soon.

page
for
Cyberpunk 2077
’s planned DLC is now live. Text on the page reads,
“Free DLC starts hitting Night City early 2021. Stay tuned for more info!"
No specific dates are listed for the DLC, and it’s unclear what the scope of the DLC will be.
WHAT THIS MEANS
Given CD Projekt Red’s previous approach to DLC, it’s likely that
Cyberpunk 2077
will follow
The
Witcher 3
’s model for DLC.

For the threequel of
The Witcher
franchise, smaller DLC updates – like armor sets or contacts – were given to owners of the game for free. Larger expansions – like
Hearts of Stone
and
Blood and Wine
– were released for $9.99 and $19.99 respectively. If that trend continues with
Cyberpunk 2077
, fans can expect a lot of free small updates and some large expansions in the future.
Despite some
disastrous issues on the PlayStation 4
and
Xbox One versions of the game
,
Cyberpunk 2077
will likely be updated throughout the next several years.
The Witcher 3
saw several pieces of large and small DLC that extended its life, and there’s even a next-gen upgrade for the game releasing sometime in the future.
Sales-wise,
Cyberpunk 2077
sold incredibly well, with CD Projekt Red estimating that the game sold 13 million
copies
by December 20. With such a large playerbase,
Cyberpunk 2077
will likely be treated as a platform that will continue to evolve.
