CD Projekt Red recommends returning Cyberpunk 2077 players start a brand new save when update 2.0 drops.
Ahead of the release of the highly-anticipated update, the developer has said that veteran players will find more enjoyment if they start a new save file from scratch, as 2.0 essentially revamps the original game that launched in 2020.
«Hey, chooms! While you'll be able to continue the game with your current character on an existing save, we recommend starting a new game after Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.0,» CD Projekt Red said in a recent tweet.
«Due to the number of changes, starting fresh will enhance your overall gameplay experience!»
