FREE TRIAL of CYBERPUNK 2077 on PS5 and Xbox Series XS THIS WEEK

Mar 25, 2024 3:26 PM

CD Projekt has made an exciting announcement for fans of futuristic RPGs. Starting March 28, a free trial of Cyberpunk 2077 will be available on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X and S platforms. This limited-time trial will run until March 31st, offering five hours of gameplay without requiring any additional fees or subscriptions. It's a fantastic opportunity for players to jump into the world of Cyberpunk 2077 and experience all the updates and improvements made since its troubled launch, including the major game overhauls from Update 2.0 and the content from Update 2.1. Moreover, the players' progress in this trial will be saved and transferred to the full game upon purchase. Since its rocky release in 2020, CD Projekt has significantly turned the game around, making it a prime example of a successful post-launch recovery in the gaming industry. The devs are now focusing on a sequel, though it's expected to be years before its reveal.

Will Cyberpunk 2077's free trial include the latest Phantom Liberty expansion?

No, the Cyberpunk 2077 free trial does not include the Phantom Liberty expansion. It comprises the base game and all preceding updates.

Cyberpunk 2077 is set in a dystopian future in Night City, California, where players assume the role of V, a customizable mercenary, in a world that promises extensive exploration and player choice. Inspired by the Cyberpunk tabletop series, the game has been highly anticipated since its announcement. Since the launch, CD Projekt has dedicated itself to improving the game, addressing countless bugs and performance issues that initially tainted the player experience. Following a patch and improvement strategy, Cyberpunk 2077 has seen a resurgence in popularity, and CD Projekt's commitment to the title has reassured fans. The sequel, codenamed Orion, is set to further expand on the universe, although details are scarce at the moment.
