If you thought CD Projekt Red might perhaps delay the release Cyberpunk 2077's DLC after all the glitches, bugs and crashes players have been encountering since the base game's launch, think again.
The company recently sent its DLC webpage live, reminding users to "stay tuned" when its entirely free DLC starts to arrive early on this year. Yep, it's seemingly going ahead with it despite everything that's gone down recently.
"Free DLC starts hitting night city early 2021. Stay tuned for more info!"
Cyberpunk 2077's DLC was originally meant to be revealed before the game was released, and then the anticipated title was obviously delayed on multiple occasions so CDPR decided to hold off until after launch - with more information intended to be shared in Q1 this year.
Since the game arrived on 10th December 2020, CD Projekt Red has issued a bunch of hotfixes. Within the same time frame, the game's also been removed PlayStation's Store (Microsoft added its own warning) and the Polish company could potentially face multiple class-action lawsuits which it says it will vigorously defend itself against.
What are your thoughts about the DLC for CP2077 arriving so soon after the launch period, and given the state the game is still in on certain platforms? Share your thoughts down below.

I assume they had different people working on this, so the bugs issue hasn't really affected it too much.
Should be an awesome game in like a year's time!
I think they should really prioritize fixing the game and realeasing a proper Series X / PS5 version.
But maybe that's just me. I'm no developper.
Have not down loaded yet.
Waiting for the real series X version, will then give it a play.
Watching the price creeping down on Amazon. When it's low enough (and the patches are out) I may buy it.
@Captain_Chao5 Same here, it will be a great game in a few months and patches down the line.... Especially when its half price or below by then.
They need to restore the reputation of the game with patches and a next-gen showcase rather than DLC at this stage.
The game will be in the bargain bin the rate they are going...
The game has been amazing since I installed it two days after release. I preordered it on Xbox One (Gears One X) and bought my best friend a copy on his PS4 (2016 Star Wars: Battlefront model) and both continue to run and look great with my One X being the far superior version. Have yet to try it on my PS4 Pro, but heard great things. Even before the patches, I enjoyed the game, and now at 111 hours in, I've only suffered 1 major issue (pre- patch 1.0.4); the rest are not even worth mentioning as they take absolutely nothing away from the game at all. Looking forward to any and all DLC, as well as the Series X version when out.
@Carck Depends on the game being played mayhaps. My friend's son still has crashes on Fallout 4, GTA V, The Witcher 3, and some other titles, yet I agree with you, as much as I love and praise CP2077, it still needs some changes, but even if they leave it as is, I'll still be satisfied with what I've been playing. Hope they do what you and others are looking for in the near future concerning Cyberpunk: Game on
@Bloodborne75
Yeah, Fallout 4 crashes regularly even today. I 100% completed Cyberpunk last week, so I'm all in for new content.
It depends on what the DLC is. In this long video, the host digs through years of CDPR interviews and trailers. Almost an entire city section advertised in a trailer was walled off before release. Some of the buildings are in the game but only accessible by bugging outside the current boundaries. Will they now pass it off as DLC?

The AI and combat balance are obviously not as CDPR intended. They are selling a beta version.
I will buy it when it's done a year from now, at a discount. I expected a world to wander, like The Witcher 3, but it's apparently more like Deus Ex.
Even when done, it won't be the game they advertised. From 2016 to 2018, they repeatedly said the game would be equivalent to The Witcher 3 in scope. Yet many players have already finished Cyberpunk 2077, whereas few players ever experience most of The Witcher 3 content.
It will be a great game in the end. It just won't be what they led fans to expect.
I will pick this game up when it's around £20 or below otherwise the game doesn't deserve to be paid more for
Almost completed it and got the 1000g,after that il wait for the series x version and the proper story dlc expansions before I play it again
P. S had 2 crashes in 70 hours and they only came after the latest patch, and haven't had really any bugs, only a couple of times with things clipping into the environment ...... Had alot worse experiences with games this year alone... Wasteland 3,cold war, watch dogs legion..... All crashed a hell of a lot... Even immortals and coaster planet on my series x have crashed more
@Carck I honestly believe, and hope, that it will be worth the wait for you. I waited two days myself as per the aggressive comments and reviews, yet once I stepped into my "calling" all of that faded into the void. To be fair also, my best friend and I have been waiting over 20 years for a true Cyberpunk game to immerse ourselves in. We avoided all trailers and spoilers ourselves. Another possible reason we were not disappointed as many others are, yet again, as former Cyberpunk table top RPG players, we personally feel like they captured the essence of Cyberpunk. So much more they always could (and hopefully will truly add), but CDPR has currently a massive achievement in CP2077. Just my personal; honest opinion.
@hallower1980 As I replied to Carck, I highly anticipated and was superhyped concerning a true Cyberpunk game to fall into my gaming needs, I avoided ALL things Cyberpunk like the plague and therefore have no qualms or disappointments, but the length of the main storyline (while superb) should have been akin to The Witcher 3. I'm 111 hours in exactly, yet I'm completely doing everything before tackling the main missions (although I have done several of them.)
To be fair, I have yet to play my copy of Geralt's epic, but plan on submitting my life to 100% it in the future. I do recall the article concerning the shorter campaign as too many "gamers" (I use that title loosely) were whining that The Witcher 3's main campaign was far too long and boring, so CDPR unfortunately catered to them and gave us a 20+ hour campaign. Still, I LOVE playing through CP2077, and always will. Game on, Hallower1980!
Cyberpunks main story is ridiculously short, I thought I was maybe just past half way and then all of a sudden I was on the last mission.
I think reviewers were the main reason they shortened the campaign. Game journalists are pressed for time. And many trained as writers, so they gravitate toward linear film-like games anyway. So a Call of Duty-like scripted campaign is more attractive to reviewers.
I wouldn't mind a short and linear campaign in an open world if there remain plenty of side stories and fun activities in the world. But some reviewers claim to have completed the main story and side missions of Cyberpunk 2077 in 60 hours.
That's still a lot of content. It's just not comparable to The Witcher 3. It's a different sort of game. They are both good in their own ways.
Why are we getting DLC before the Series X version? I'm not buying the game til I can play the version made for my console, especially with all the reported issues.
You guys still crying over this oh no free dlc lockdown has you acting like a bunch of cranks.
Just a question did cdpr say that all the things you complained about not being in the game where going to be avaliable at launch?
Just cause it's free DLC doesn't mean that CDPR did right by consumers. They tried to stop reviews for the console versions of the game for a reason, it was an unplayable mess. The game is excellent but buggy on PC, it should have been delayed. Why they are pushing DLC so aggressively makes no sense to me, the game clearly needs a lot of fixing first. There's no reason to defend CDPR, we don't owe them a thing. They owe their customers this DLC, and they owe their developers a break. I look forward to buying it when they fix it.
@Dezzy70 honesty unless your waiting for money reasons the game looks and runs great on the series X as a back compat game...i figured ill play a second run through under corpo instead of streetkid when the official series X version comes out..,
as to DLC it betterr not come out befoe they fix the game for everyone and they should wait till the series X version is ready...i dont get companies releasing DLC before the game is fixed...same thing CoD cold war has done.
I seem to be the only person who's not bothered about playing it ever.
