CD Projekt RED unveiled a remarkable opportunity for console players to delve into the expansive world of Cyberpunk 2077 without spending a penny. Two years post-release, the acclaimed sci-fi RPG has undergone a notable evolution, making this trial period an enticing prospect for both newcomers and returning players alike.

Set in the dystopian megalopolis of Night City, Cyberpunk 2077 immerses players into a world rife with crime, corruption, and high-stakes intrigue. Players assume the role of V, a mercenary embroiled in a gripping narrative entwined with the enigmatic Johnny Silverhand, portrayed by the iconic Keanu Reeves.

Since its launch, CD Projekt RED has been diligently refining and enhancing the Cyberpunk 2077 experience. The game now boasts a revamped skill tree and perks system, immersive vehicle combat, intense police chases, a fully functional metro system, and a plethora of other enhancements. Despite shifting focus to projects such as the anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 sequel and the new The Witcher trilogy, the studio has continued to support and improve upon its flagship title.

During this exclusive free access period for Xbox and PlayStation players, the base game will be available for exploration, providing a glimpse into the myriad improvements and updates implemented by the developers. However, it's worth noting that the recently released story expansion, Phantom Liberty, will not be accessible during this trial. Nonetheless, players will enjoy unrestricted access to the main storyline within the allocated five-hour trial period, with progress seamlessly carrying over should they decide to purchase the full game.

While console players eagerly anticipate this opportunity, PC players may wonder if a similar trial awaits them. Unfortunately, CD Projekt RED has cited technical constraints as the reason behind the unavailability of a PC trial. Nevertheless, the console free trial weekend promises an immersive experience for all those ready to step foot into the neon-lit streets of Night City.

Scheduled to commence from March 28th, 8:00 AM PDT, until March 31st, 11:59 PM, the Cyberpunk 2077 free trial invites Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 players to embark on an unforgettable journey, no subscriptions required. It's a chance to witness firsthand the evolution of Cyberpunk 2077 and immerse oneself in a world where every choice shapes the destiny of Night City.

This weekend, Night City awaits. Will you answer the call?
