Brief Introduction to the Story so Far, and What to Expect

A warning: if you don’t want to know anything going in, please skip this section and move on ahead to the Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty PC requirements. We’ll just be sticking to the basic overview, though.

In Cyberpunk 2077, you play as a character called V with a customizable appearance fighting to survive in a sci-fi world filled with danger, amazing technology, and corrupt forces of power. You’ll be accompanied and guided by a fascinating character called Johnny Silverhand. As you gain experience and power, you can upgrade V to customize your playstyle.

Phantom Liberty takes V into an espionage adventure in Dogtown to save the NUS president. V will need to build alliances to accomplish this quest, and will need to choose them well. You’ll face high-security building infiltrations and fight experienced professionals. A new skill tree will also become available to you.

Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty PC Requirements That Apply to All Presets

  • Something you’ll want to keep in mind for every preset level is the updated storage requirements call for at least an SSD instead of an HDD. SSDs can achieve faster loading times than HDDs can.
    • The more demanding ultra, ray tracing: ultra, and ray tracing: overdrive presets require even more advanced and faster storage technology: NVMe drives.

  • You’ll need 70 GB available on your drive to install the base game, and 35 GB of available space for Phantom Liberty, for a total of 105 GB.

  • The recommended operating system for all presets is 64-bit Windows 10.
