Cyberpunk 2077 website has promised free DLC in early 2021 – but don’t bet on ‘soon’

In my opinion, Cyberpunk 2077 is not quite the disaster that some have suggested. The game is fun. Bugs are fun! The bugs that really really were not fun have been fixed. Refunds were widely publicized, and despite this refund option, the game sold 13 million copies in just two weeks.

Currently, we are expecting two major fixes for the game in January and February respectively, as the company has promised. December 13 in his apology post:

Beyond that, a free DLC would of course be nice. Personally, I just want NPCs who can drive.
