An important update has emerged for players eagerly anticipating the release of Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty on the PlayStation 5. CD Projekt Red, the developer behind the iconic title, recently shared this news, which pertains specifically to those who purchased the bundled version of Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty.
The announcement, made on September 25, brings both good and not-so-pleasant news for fans. First and foremost, for regular PS5 users who purchased Phantom Liberty separately, the option to pre-load the expansion is now available. However, for those who opted for the bundle that combines the base game and Phantom Liberty, pre-loading is unfortunately not an option.
