With the release date of Cyberpunk’s latest installment finally here, it’s no wonder players are eager to find out the Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty release date time to get their hands on this thrilling DLC.

Following its launch in 2020, the dystopian universe of Cyberpunk captured the hearts of gamers with its emotions, story, and visuals. However, in its spy-inspired storyline, Phantom Liberty takes on a new direction and even a new area called Dogtown, alongside a wealth of added side missions and jobs for players to get stuck into. To get you prepared for this DLC, we’ve outlined the PC and console Phantom Liberty release date and times below across the major time zones.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty release date

CD Projekt Red has now given us an official release date of the Cyberpunk Phantom Liberty DLC as 12 am on Tuesday the 26th of September. The DLC is the first expansion Cyberpunk has seen, with a new district, new characters, and over a hundred new items being added to the RPG. However, despite the date, the time of release looks like it may vary across consoles and PC systems.
