If you’ve been considering picking upCyberpunk 2077you’re in luck, as it’s getting a limited-time free trial onPlayStation 5andXbox Series X|S later this week.
CD Projekt Red shared the announcement onX(formerly Twitter) yesterday (March 25), confirming that it will offer a free-to-play period for its futuristic sci-fi role-playing game this week.
The free trial will begin on Thursday, March 28 at 8:00am PDT / 4:00pm CET / 3pm BST, and run until Monday, March 31 at 11:59pm PDT / Tuesday, April 8:59am CEST / 7:59am BST.
There’s no word at this time if the trial will also become available on PC at some later time.
The free-to-play period is specifically for the base game, meaning noPhantom Libertyexpansion will be available, and will allow up to five hours of total playtime. Logically, if the player were to only stick to the main story, this time constraint would let players experience the lengthy introduction of the game depending on how fast they can get through the preliminary quests.
