The story
Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition is an open-world RPG containing two powerful adventures: the base game of Cyberpunk 2077, taking place in the dark future of Night City, and Phantom Liberty, a spy-thriller story set in the walled-off district of Dogtown. Players take on the role of V, a cyber-enhanced mercenary, and embark on a fight for survival filled with story-defining decisions, action-packed gameplay, and unforgettable characters, including rockerboy Johnny Silverhand (played by Keanu Reeves) and FIA sleeper agent Solomon Reed (played by Idris Elba). This new release is the perfect way to experience every story of the dark future; it also contains the free Update 2.0, which overhauled many of the game’s systems, introducing dynamic skill trees, high-octane vehicle combat, and enhanced enemy and police AI — as well as adding new weapons, vehicles, and clothes. The release is bolstered with a set of previously released digital goodies available as part of the “My Rewards” program, available to all who register.
What it’s like
Neon-soaked night streets under smog-orange skies, rain-slick asphalt throwing back magenta and cyan signage, and the constant hum of holographic billboards that makes Night City feel both overstimulated and lonely. Its palette leans on saturated neon against deep blacks, with a first-person and third-person camera that swings from hyper-kinetic gunplay to slow, sweeping views over towering skylines. The soundscape pairs a thudding synth-and-industrial score with ambient traffic, sirens, and radio chatter that fills the streets, while quieter moments in apartments and bars let the city's hum fall away. Vibe: gritty, restless, sun-starved noir. It suits late nights alone, a long session after dark, or a weekend binge when you want to be fully absorbed. Pacing swings between frantic firefights and long stretches of wandering, dialogue-heavy scenes; the tone is cynical but earnest, with a mercenary protagonist slowly confronting what the body and identity cost in a city that sells both. Violence is frequent and often bloody, with stylised gore, cybernetic body horror, and some strong language and adult themes; the Phantom Liberty expansion carries a tense espionage edge with more brutal confrontations. For players who want a dense, moody world with heavy action and a grounded sense of consequence.
