On Sunday during the Xbox Games Showcase, CD Projekt Red announced the release date for Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. The expansion pack for the sci-fi RPG is due to be released on September 29.
Alongside the release date reveal, CD Project Red has also announced some changes to the PC system requirements on its Steam page. They will apply to both the main game and Phantom Liberty. The changes will be released as a free patch to Cyberpunk 2077 no earlier than 90 days from now.
The changes include using more up-to-date hardware for the game's minimal requirements. CD Projekt Red stated:
One of those big changes is that the minimal requirements now include using SSDs for storage, rather than old-fashioned hard drives. While players with the current minimal PC hardware specs can continue to run Cyberpunk 2077, they won't be officially supported after the base update is released in a few months.
Here's the breakdown:

CD Projekt Red also announced that both Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty will get native Ukrainian language text support as part of that same patch.
