Today, CD Projekt RED announced that a free Cyberpunk 2077 trial will be available for a limited time later this week on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series S|X consoles.
From March 28th at 8 AM Pacific Time to March 31st at 11:59 PM Pacific Time, gamers will be able to enjoy up to five hours of unrestricted gameplay without having to pay anything, including the respective console's subscription.
This is, of course, the latest version of Cyberpunk 2077 that shipped alongside the Phantom Liberty expansion, featuring big 2.0 gameplay overhauls and new features such as redesigned skill trees and perks, vehicle combat, a new police system, and more. Players will also be able to experience Update 2.1, which introduced a fully functional metro system, the ability to listen to in-game radio stations outside of vehicles via the radio port, new vehicles, and more. Those who find themselves enthralled by Night City will be able to have their progress seamlessly carried over to the full game, should they decide to purchase it.

Vehicle combat is also now implemented in a GTA-like fashion. While driving, players can draw a weapon (a pistol or revolver, mind you, as holding the wheel while wielding a shotgun doesn't really seem practical) and
