“As we are close to the release, expect the post-release plans to be revealed fairly soon; a series of free DLCs and expansions will be described – as I said, you can expect it fairly soon and then everything will be made clear.”

When asked about microtransactions and how aggressive CD Projekt Red will be to pursue them, Adam said: “well, we’re never aggressive towards our fans! We treat them fairly and we’re friendly.”
He continued: “So of course not – we won’t be aggressive – but you can expect great things to be bought. The goal is to design monetization in a way that makes people happy to spend money. I’m not trying to be cynical or hide something; it’s about creating a feeling of value.”
“Same as with our single-player games: we want gamers to be happy while spending money on our products. The same is true for microtransactions: you can expect them, of course, and CP is a great setting for selling things, but it won’t be aggressive; it won’t upset gamers but it’ll make them happy – that’s our goal at least.”
Cyberpunk 2077 will be out for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on November 19, 2020. It is also confirmed to launch for PS5 and Xbox Series X and will get a free upgrade to next-generation consoles for existing users in 2021.
