Come this December, it will mark the three-year anniversary since the release of CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077. And despite the shortcoming and outright underwhelming original state of the game was in, the team is righting its wrongs with new updates periodically rolling out for the title. Last year, we saw a major improvement with the next-generation update included for Cyberpunk 2077 then.

Additionally, CD Projekt Red is promising even more with the Update 2.0 client that rolled out. Previously, it was told that much of the game has been revamped. “We’ve also redone the loop and whole progression of the game; the difficulty curve is different, the tiers and drops of loot is different, the archetypes of enemies has been redone for more variety.” And now with the client live, the developer made a statement on how to approach Update 2.0.

Via a post on X, CD Projekt Red asks that the best way to experience Cyberpunk 2077 now is through a fresh playthrough. Although it is not required as your original save is compatible with Update 2.0, the meat of the improvements is starting with the client is live.

Oddly, this is a weird recommendation noting how close Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is to releasing. The story expansion featuring the return of Keanu Reeves along with a debut for Edris Elba is set to release on September 26th. Even more, the add-on is also confirmed to be a 32 GB install for players looking to return to Cyberpunk 2077 this week.

Recently, CD Projekt Red told that much of its talent that worked on Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty is now allocating the team to focus on Project Polaris – the next mainline installment for The Witcher. You can read the full report by heading here.
