"Starting Fresh: The Value of Restarting Cyberpunk 2077 for Phantom Liberty"

CD Projekt Red recommends starting Cyberpunk 2077 over before playing the upcoming Phantom Liberty expansion and the 2.0 update, as it includes significant changes to the game's systems. The update introduces new skill trees and Cyberware, requiring players to adapt and unlearn established muscle memory. While it's not necessary to start from scratch, it is recommended to test out the new features before diving into the expansion. The game has seen numerous patches and improvements since its launch, making it a different experience for returning players.
