After No Man’s Sky, Cyberpunk 2077 has one of the best redemption stories in the gaming world. The game had a terrible launch on last-gen consoles, and PCs made people refund the game. After a while, updates came to make the game much better. Its popularity exploded thanks to the anime, and it kept growing after we saw the announcement of the game’s first expansion. With it being around the corner, many want to know if it’s possible to play Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty in early access; here we have all the information.
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty Early Access Explained
The short answer is that there isn’t an official way to play Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty in early access. This might be a bummer for many, but it makes sense as the developers released Update 2.0 days before the DLC’s launch date. However, that doesn’t mean you can’t play it a few hours before anyone else. If you want to do that, the easiest way is by doing the good old region trick.
Anyone with an Xbox can switch their timezone to New Zealand’s, and if you have a PlayStation and don’t mind making a new Australian account to purchase the game and expansion, that works, too. Still, we recommend waiting a bit, as a few hours of game time before others won’t make a difference.

While we would’ve loved to see an early access period for Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty, that wasn’t the case. However, the new update brought many things that encouraged everyone to start the game anew. This is great, given the revamp to perks and abilities and even changes to other core systems like police and driving. So, don’t rush to play this new expansion because there’ll be plenty of time. Instead, enjoy the ride in Night City, which feels like a new experience for newcomers and veterans.
