This free trial includes the latest version of Cyberpunk 2077 with the Phantom Liberty expansion. The game has been updated to version 2.0, which has big changes like new skill trees and perks, vehicle fights, a new police system, and more.
Also, players can try out Update 2.1, which adds a working metro system, the ability to listen to in-game radio stations without being in a car, new vehicles, and more. If players like what they experience during the trial, they can continue from where they left off if they decide to buy the full game.
In the trial, players will notice some improvements from the 2.0 update. For example, instead of police magically appearing when you break the law, you’ll see officers patrolling the streets realistically.
If you do something wrong and people see it, the police will be alerted, and you’ll have to avoid them until they stop looking for you.
Also, now you can fight from your vehicle like in GTA games. While driving, you can use a pistol or revolver to shoot at enemies.
It’s easier if you let the game automatically aim for you, but you can also aim manually if you prefer. If you get a vehicle with mounted weapons, like miniguns or mini-rocket launchers, it can be even more powerful, but aiming them can be tricky.
