CD Projekt Red Confirms Microtransactions Will Not Be In Base Cyberpunk 2077, But Will Be In Its Online Side Project

In the past, it was reported that CD Projekt Red is working on multiple Cyberpunk 2077-related projects outside of the coming, November-slated title. In total, it was reported that the Polish studio is underway with three altogether: Cyberpunk 2077, a separate online entry, and an undisclosed project intertwined in the series.

Howbeit, it was not long until CD Projekt Red told that the initial report was not interpreted accurately as it has three teams working on Cyberpunk 2077 solely and the remaining two firms are involved with R&D for the game – not the smaller aforementioned side projects. But slowly, information continued to seep through which further suggested there will be some form of online component to hit Cyberpunk 2077 universe later on.

This week, CD Projekt Red addressed the latter project recently in a post on Twitter. In that, the firm verified that there will be no microtransactions available in the coming release later this fall. However, the firm verifies that its online project will incorporate the business model instead.

To bring more light to the undisclosed online project, it is suspected the entity is still in development and will not release sometime following the game’s release. Even more, we might not catch a whiff of the online version for Cyberpunk 2077 sometime following the post-release campaign of story expansions that CD Projekt Red also shared earlier on.

As for the integration of microtransactions, it is also suspected that the unannounced online project could also be pitched as a free-to-play experience. Already assuming users that play the multilayer project also already purchased base Cyberpunk 2077, the firm only inserts in-game purchasing to align with the free port of entry for the project.

Elsewhere this past week, CD Projekt Red went to verify that Cyberpunk 2077 will not receive a price increase to $70 for the next-generation versions of the game. However, the statement does not suggest the same can be expected for following projects that will ship later on. You can read the full report by heading here.
