Cyberpunk 2077 players celebrate 2.0 update: \u201cFeels like I\u2019m playing a new game\u201d CD Projekt RedCyberpunk 2077 players are discussing how the long-awaited update 2.0 finally turns the game into what was promised years ago. Almost three years after one of the messiest game launches of all time, it\u2019s finally safe to say Cyberpunk 2077 has turned things around. Following years of patches and bug fixes, including a free PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S upgrade, the massive update 2.0 has dropped. This comes a week ahead of the Phantom Liberty DLC\u2019s release on September 26. After spending some time with the update, fans are overall quite happy with the changes developer CD Projekt Red has implemented. It\u2019s taken a while, but it seems like Cyberpunk 2077 has finally become the game fans were promised ahead of launch. CD Projekt Red has finally turned Cyberpunk 2077 around To call Cyberpunk 2077\u2019s launch messy is an understatement. While reviews were largely positive, the game famously was full of bugs and struggled to run, particularly on older consoles. This led to investigations and class actions lawsuits from those who accused CD Projekt of misleading consumers and shareholders regarding the game\u2019s technical issues. CD Projekt apologized for the game\u2019s state at launch and continued working on the game. Update 2.0 and the Phantom Liberty expansion are something of a culmination of their efforts, adding a variety of changes and improvements for free alongside the paid DLC. Based on fan reactions to update 2.0 and early reviews for Phantom Liberty \u2013 including Dexerto\u2019s own \u2013 that work seems to have paid off. In a Reddit thread, players are sharing their thoughts on 2.0 and its changes. Most of the responses are overwhelmingly positive. While there are aspects fans may need to adjust to, the changes have been well received. As one fan noted, \u201c[it] Feels like I\u2019m playing a new game\u201d even when using an existing character. CD Projekt Red is also being praised for making the \u201cbold\u201d choice to \u201cbasically scrap the health item & throwable inventory\u2026all to streamline the experience into what matters most: immersion and immediacy.\u201d Another aspect being praised is the update\u2019s NPC improvements, particularly related to the police. The police system was notoriously buggy in previous versions, but as one player said, after 2.0 \u201cNCPD dont f&@k around.\u201d Others have praised the visual and performance improvements the update brings. All in all, Cyberpunk 2077 finally seems to be a solid RPG experience players can enjoy without caveats. While the game may always be remembered in some capacity for the frustrations and controversies that surrounded it at launch, it has come a very long way between December 2020 and September 2023. With a sequel in the works codenamed \u201cProject Orion,\u201d it\u2019s certainly reassuring to see that Cyberpunk 2077 is now living up to its full potential, delivering the experience fans were hoping for back in 2020.
