So far, it doesn’t seem like Cyberpunk 2077 has any platform exclusives for the Steam Deck, but this announcement comes right on time with fans waiting on the release of upcoming DLC, Phantom Liberty.

As of now, no release date has been set for Phantom Liberty yet, but it’s said to be coming exclusively to new-gen consoles, so we shouldn’t expect it to launch for the PS4 and Xbox One. I wonder though, if the Steam Deck will be able to run this game that’s exclusively made for new-gen consoles.

If anything, Cyberpunk 2077 has kind of had a miraculous comeback. Though the launch of the game was considered one of the poorest in history, there has been some new appreciation for the CDPR title, and that’s all thanks to the success of the Netflix anime spinoff, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners.

Here’s the description for the upcoming DLC:

Phantom Liberty is a spy-thriller expansion for Cyberpunk 2077. Become V, a cyberpunk for hire, and take on an impossible mission of espionage and survival. Use new skills, equip new weapons and tech, and plunge deep into a web of shattered loyalties and political power plays.
