CD Projekt Red confirmed it has no plans to release additional downloadable content or expansions for Cyberpunk 2077, closing the door on any future DLC beyond Phantom Liberty. The Polish developer posted the statement on social media in March 2026 after a fan asked whether a secret content drop was coming following the game’s Xbox Game Pass release.

The studio’s official Cyberpunk 2077 account wrote that it would inform fans if anything changes in the future, but for now, Night City remains as complete as it will get. This marks the second time CD Projekt Red has confirmed no further content is planned for the open-world RPG that originally launched on December 10, 2020.

The announcement disappointed players who hoped for more Phantom Liberty-scale expansions. Cyberpunk 2077, developed and published by CD Projekt Red, is a first-person action RPG that runs on the REDengine 4. The game received its Ultimate Edition on Nintendo Switch 2 in June 2025, bundling the base game with Phantom Liberty.

CD Projekt Red Prioritizes Witcher 4 and Cyberpunk Sequel Development

All of CD Projekt Red’s development resources now funnel toward The Witcher 4 and a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077. The Cyberpunk sequel entered preproduction in May 2025, meaning the studio redirected its focus away from expanding the current game toward building an entirely new entry in the franchise.

The decision aligns with industry trends where developers move on from supporting older titles to concentrate on new projects. Similar patterns have emerged across major studios, with developers shifting away from live-service updates once core content concludes.

The Witcher 4 receives particular attention from CD Projekt Red right now, with the game set to feature Ciri as the protagonist. Multiple seasons of the Netflix Witcher series continue to drive interest in the franchise, while rumors persist about a third expansion for The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt that could bridge the gap between Wild Hunt and the upcoming fourth mainline entry.

Chief financial officer Piotr Nielubowicz hinted in previous statements that new content for an unnamed game could arrive in 2026. Polish securities analyst Mateusz Chrzanowski published a report in December 2025 predicting a paid Witcher 3 DLC would release in May 2026. CD Projekt Red has not denied these Witcher 3 expansion rumors, choosing instead to remain silent while quickly shutting down Cyberpunk 2077 speculation.

Phantom Liberty Expansion Remains the Only Major DLC for Cyberpunk 2077

Phantom Liberty, released in 2023, stands as the sole major expansion for Cyberpunk 2077. The expansion added a new storyline featuring Idris Elba’s character Solomon Reed, along with a new district of Night City called Dogtown and substantial gameplay updates.

Reports from earlier in 2026 suggested CD Projekt Red cancelled at least one additional Cyberpunk expansion during development. The studio never officially confirmed these cancelled projects, but the latest statement makes clear no further DLC will materialize regardless of what was previously considered.

The game transformed dramatically since its troubled December 2020 launch. Initial releases suffered from severe performance issues and bugs, particularly on console platforms. CD Projekt Red spent years patching and updating Cyberpunk 2077, delivering quality-of-life improvements and fixing technical problems that plagued the original release.

Players on updated hardware now experience vastly improved graphical fidelity and performance compared to the launch version. The difference between the 2020 release and the current build remains stark, with frame rates stabilized and visual glitches largely eliminated. Technical issues that once dominated discussion around the game have mostly receded as CD Projekt Red addressed persistent problems through ongoing patches.

Community modders continue creating new content for Cyberpunk 2077 daily, experimenting with additions ranging from graphical tweaks to multiplayer functionality attempts. The modding scene remains active even as official development ceases, offering players ways to extend their Night City experience beyond what CD Projekt Red provided.

Nintendo Switch 2 Version Represents Final Platform Expansion

Cyberpunk 2077 arrived on Nintendo Switch 2 in June 2025, marking the game’s first appearance on a Nintendo platform. The Ultimate Edition brought together the base game and Phantom Liberty expansion in a single package optimized for the hybrid console.

Nintendo Life called the Switch 2 port a superb adaptation of an incredible RPG in their review, praising how the game translated to Nintendo’s hardware. The release demonstrated CD Projekt Red’s commitment to bringing Cyberpunk 2077 to as many platforms as possible, even as content development concluded.

The Switch 2 version joined existing releases on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and S, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. Platform availability reached its maximum extent with the Nintendo release, giving players across all major gaming ecosystems access to the full Cyberpunk 2077 experience.

Developers often struggle to maintain parity across multiple platforms, but CD Projekt Red confirmed via Nintendo Life that all versions now contain identical content following the Switch 2 launch. No platform-exclusive DLC exists, and the studio’s latest statement confirms none will arrive for any system.

Industry Context Shows Shifting Developer Priorities After Launch Windows

CD Projekt Red’s decision reflects broader industry patterns where developers support games intensively for two to three years post-launch before moving to new projects. Cyberpunk 2077 launched over five years ago from today’s June 2026 perspective, placing it well beyond typical DLC support windows.

The game’s troubled launch extended its support period as CD Projekt Red worked to address technical issues rather than developing new content. Most of the studio’s post-launch effort went toward stabilization rather than expansion, meaning Phantom Liberty arrived later than originally planned expansions might have.

Other major RPG releases follow similar trajectories, with studios typically delivering one or two major expansions before transitioning development teams to sequels or new intellectual properties. The pattern holds across publishers, with few games receiving content updates beyond a three-year window unless they adopt live-service models.

CD Projekt Red never positioned Cyberpunk 2077 as a live-service title, instead treating it as a traditional single-player experience with defined content boundaries. That approach means players receive a complete experience that won’t suddenly feel outdated or incomplete as the developer moves forward, unlike ongoing-service games that require constant engagement to maintain relevance.

Fan expectations sometimes clash with development realities, particularly when strong communities form around games. The response to CD Projekt Red’s announcement shows players remain invested in Cyberpunk 2077’s world, even as the studio prepares to build its successor. This tension between player desires and studio capacity affects most successful games that conclude their content cycles.

For comparison, Screen Rant’s coverage noted that community modding efforts continue expanding the game in ways official development no longer will. Player-created content fills gaps left by concluded official support, offering alternative pathways for those seeking new experiences in Night City.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will Cyberpunk 2077 receive any more updates or patches?

CD Projekt Red has not specified whether maintenance patches will continue for bug fixes and performance optimization. The studio confirmed no additional DLC or expansions are planned, but technical support typically continues for established games even after content development ends. Players can expect the game to remain stable on current platforms, though major feature additions are off the table.

What content is included in the Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition?

The Ultimate Edition contains the complete base game plus the Phantom Liberty expansion. This version launched alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 release in June 2025 and represents the full Cyberpunk 2077 experience. All free updates and patches released since the December 2020 launch are also included. No additional paid content exists beyond what the Ultimate Edition offers.

When will the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel release?

CD Projekt Red has not announced a release date for the Cyberpunk sequel, which entered preproduction in May 2025. Preproduction typically lasts 12 to 18 months before full development begins, suggesting a release no earlier than 2028 or 2029. The studio is simultaneously developing The Witcher 4, which may take priority in the development pipeline. Players should expect a significant wait before the next Cyberpunk game arrives.

Conclusion

CD Projekt Red’s confirmation that Cyberpunk 2077 will receive no additional DLC marks the end of an era for the controversial but ultimately successful RPG. Phantom Liberty stands as the game’s sole major expansion, capping a turbulent five-year journey from disastrous launch to rehabilitated player favorite. The studio’s focus now turns to future projects, including The Witcher 4 and a Cyberpunk sequel that will attempt to learn from both the mistakes and successes of its predecessor.

Players who invested hundreds of hours in Night City must now accept that what exists represents the complete vision for this particular game. The modding community offers the only avenue for truly new content, while official development resources flow toward building the next generation of CD Projekt Red’s major franchises. For a game that once seemed destined for failure, Cyberpunk 2077 leaves behind a solid legacy, even if its content story concludes sooner than some fans hoped.
