Cyberpunk 2077’s skip to Phantom Liberty option is a blessing

Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty is about to drop alongside the CD Projekt Red game’s 2.0 update and completely overhaul and expand the metropolis of Night City. So much so that you might want to restart your adventure from scratch to get to grips with everything on offer. If so, you don’t need to worry about rushing the early game ready for Phantom Liberty, as I got to grips with a great feature I can wholeheartedly recommend returning players use.

CDPR has already revealed that you can skip ahead to Phantom Liberty with a new save in Cyberpunk 2077, and after playing the game’s DLC for our Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty review, I’m here to tell you that it’s actually a really great option if you want to go into the open-world game fresh when the DLC drops.

After you’ve looked at the Cyberpunk 2077 build planner and decided if you want to be a netrunner, bruiser, or just an all-around troublemaker, starting a new game will see you met with the ‘skip ahead to Phantom Liberty’ option.

This is what I picked for my time with the DLC, and I actually found that it helped me enjoy all that Dogtown had to offer more than if I picked up my year-old save that’s been collecting dust. CDPR has already recommended you start a fresh save, but this way of doing so is a great option too. If you’ve never played Cyberpunk before I’d say start a normal save, of course, but this is a great option for those of you coming back.
