Our planned expansions will take you even deeper into the world of Cyberpunk 207, offering substantial, story-driven content that'll give you tough choices to make through impactful narratives that you won't soon forget.

But before we get there, we'll first be kicking off our free DLC program in early 2021. Just like with The Witcher 3, expect an assortment of free DLC packs to begin hitting Night City, dropping a bunch of cool stuff that'll inject even more life into the world of the dark future.

This message largely reaffirms a lot of what we already know about Cyberpunk's post launch plans, including the promise of “substantial, story-driven content” along with various free DLC expansions This DLC is set to start in early 2021 and will likely to be followed with several larger-scale, paid expansions.
