REDstreams — brief summary and recap
Did you miss Thursday's stream? Not to worry! We’ve got you covered!
Alicja Kozera and Amelia Kołat, our Senior Community Managers, together with Kacper Niepokólczycki, Lead Environment Artist, and Gabriel Amatangelo, Game Director, showcased Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. Here’s a brief summary of what transpired:
Perk overhaul
Come September, we’ll see a total overhaul of perks in Cyberpunk 2077. Skill trees have been rearranged and you’ll need to redistribute points anew. Your perk points will be reset by default, but in addition to that all players will now be able to do a single attribute reset too (yes, all players, including new playthroughs)!
New skill tree
Although we’re not adding a new attribute, Phantom Liberty (or rather Songbird) will unlock a new skill tree related to the Relic. In order to level these up, you’re going to need to seek out Militech data terms hidden around.
Car Combat
Oh yes, if you’ve dreamed about being able to shoot from and using your vehicle, you’re going to love this. Blast your way through the city with car mounted guns and rocket launchers, hack other cars, or just shoot your guns out of a window, but remember that…
Updated Police System
…but remember that NCPD will no longer take it easy. Get ready for car chases and severe repercussions for violating the law. You can try to shoot your way out of a chase, but remember - the more you shoot back, the harder the police will get onto you.
Dogtown history lesson
For all of you who are lore hungry, we’ve had an entire segment dedicated to Kurt Hansen, Barghest and Dogtown in general. However, since this is only a brief and the segment was everything but, why don’t you watch the full recording here?
To sum up everything we discussed so far: redesigned perks, redesigned cyberware, revamped police, and vehicle combat are some of the changes coming in the free Update 2.0 — which will be available for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
With the Phantom Liberty expansion, you will be able to experience a new storyline featuring President Myers, Songbird, and Solomon Reed, explore new content-packed zone Dogtown and enjoy additional side content, use the new Relic skill tree allowing you to dive into some advanced combat abilities, get your hands on powerful new weapons and vehicles, and more.
NEW FEATURES ARE COMING TO CYBERPUNK 2077 ALONG WITH PHANTOM LIBERTY!

The Ukrainian Language is Coming to Cyberpunk 2077
We are happy to announce that with the release of Phantom Liberty, we’re adding Ukrainian text localization to Cyberpunk 2077. Starting from September 26th, 2023, it will be available for both the base game and the expansion.
Localization Project Manager Mariia Strilchuk, who supervised the creation of Ukrainian text for Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty, shared her thoughts on the news: “I’m incredibly happy that Ukrainian gamers will soon be able to immerse themselves in the world of Cyberpunk in our native language. We at CD PROJEKT RED wanted to show our recognition of and support for this part of our community, and I’m personally filled with pride and joy knowing that I was able to help make it a reality. I can’t wait to share the results of our work with you this September.”
Senior Localization Project Manager Alexander Radkevich, who has overseen the production of Ukrainian localization, provided some behind-the-scenes details: "Bringing Ukrainian localization to Cyberpunk 2077 was an interesting challenge for us as a Localization team. It's always intriguing to add new languages to an already existing game, especially to such a massive project like Cyberpunk 2077. We also worked on the base game and the expansion at the same time, which added a layer of complexity. It took us over a year to translate and adapt way more than a million words of dialogues, in-game texts, and interfaces, followed by extensive testing to ensure the best experience for our Ukrainian-speaking players. I sincerely hope that our Ukrainian community will enjoy every minute of it.”
As we kick off the pre-orders for Phantom Liberty, we want to update our current system requirements to ensure that players have a better understanding of what will be needed to run Cyberpunk 2077, and make it easy to assess the expected performance. These changes will take effect following the next update to the base game, no earlier than 90 days, and also apply to Phantom Liberty.
The new system requirements are designed to be more up to date, adding support to new GPUs not available at launch, and targeting a resolution output of either 1080p or 4K for specific in-game presets.
The changes to the minimum requirements are a reflection of our new standard of requirements, which we believe better represent the minimum PC configuration required to run the game at 1080p, while maintaining an average of 30 FPS at low preset. The reason for making these changes is that updating the requirements is an important part of the game improvement process, and of enhancing and adding new features.
One of the changes is the choice to stop supporting HDDs for the minimum requirements – SSDs offer faster loading times, improved streaming, and better overall performance when compared to HDDs.
It’s important to highlight that it doesn’t mean the game will stop working on the previous minimum requirements. However, following the next update to the base game we will discontinue active support for them and stop testing the game on those setups.
Note that the presented FPS data is based on internal testing. Performance may vary depending on your particular PC hardware and software configuration, any changes made to individual graphics settings or resolution output. Check out the updated system requirements below.
How to read it: To achieve an average of 30 FPS with a 1080p resolution, please use the hardware and software configuration of the given level at “minimum”, while having the in-game graphics preset set to low.
