CD Projekt Red Has Bad News for Fans Waiting on ‘Secret New DLC’ for Cyberpunk 2077
CD Projekt Red has disappointing news for Cyberpunk 2077 fans: it does not plan to release any new DLC or expansions for the game. It’s been more than five years since the release of the sci-fi RPG, and while it got off to an infamously rough start, it has since rebounded and now holds a special place in many gamers’ hearts. Unfortunately, anyone excited about what’s next for Cyberpunk 2077 will have to wait for its sequel.
In mid-2025, Cyberpunk 2077 got its massive 2.3 update, which introduced new vehicles, additional quests, and an autodrive feature, among a slate of other changes. This activity may have gotten the attention of some fans, sparking hopes that a bigger expansion could be on the way. While it’s understandable why people would believe these rumors, CDPR has clarified, in no uncertain terms, that they’re little more than wishful thinking.

CDPR Says There are “No Plans” for Additional Cyberpunk 2077 DLC
On March 10, a user replied to the announcement that Cyberpunk 2077 was available on Xbox Game Pass to ask about “secret new DLC,” and the official Cyberpunk account promptly shot the idea down. CDPR says it does not plan on making any DLC beyond 2023’s Phantom Liberty. Just in case that left any room for interpretation, the account also said there would be no expansions, ruling out both paid and free content outside smaller updates. It did say that it would inform fans if this stance changes in the future, but that seems unlikely, considering the firmness of the response and the fact that CDPR has also denied the existence of new Cyberpunk DLC in the past.

While CDPR may not have suggested any Cyberpunk 2077 content was on the way, it is easy to see where such rumors may come from. It’s becoming increasingly evident that The Witcher 3 is likely getting an expansion in 2026, so if new DLC for a 10-plus-year-old game isn’t off the table, something to tide fans over until Cyberpunk 2 makes sense. CDPR has also not given Cyberpunk 2077 any DLC beyond Phantom Liberty, while The Witcher 3 has gotten multiple free and paid expansions since its 2015 release. That gap would seem to make the case for the studio to show Cyberpunk some love, but unfortunately for fans holding out for news, it doesn’t sound like that’s happening.
There’s also reason to believe CDPR did have something in mind before. In 2024, leaked files suggested Cyberpunk 2077 was supposed to get a DLC set on the moon, but this never happened. People have speculated that CDPR ended up canceling this expansion as it poured time and resources into fixing the base game after its bug-riddled launch, similar to how Cyberpunk‘s multiplayer mode never saw the light of day after this pivot. That apparent cancellation added fuel to the fire that CDPR could introduce more DLC further down the line, potentially reusing this scrapped content, but now those hopes have fizzled out.
The rumored moon-based setting could find its way back into the franchise in the sequel, but that’s unclear for now. Regardless, the second game is all fans have to look forward to for now in terms of Cyberpunk content, and that wait could take some time. CD Projekt Red has stated that Cyberpunk 2 likely won’t come out until at least 2030, and that timeline could be subject to change, too, in light of its aggressive plans for the Witcher series. There could be small updates down the line, but it seems nothing big will come for the game for another five years.
