CD Projekt’s Phantom Liberty Receives Rave Reviews on Steam: A Triumph for the Polish Studio

CD Projekt’s Phantom Liberty Receives ‘Very Positive’ Rating on Steam

The Long-Awaited Expansion

CD Projekt, the Polish video game developer known for their flagship game “Cyberpunk 2077,” has finally released their highly anticipated expansion called Phantom Liberty. This expansion, which is CD Projekt’s first major game premiere since the bug-ridden launch of Cyberpunk 2077 in December 2020, has received a “very positive” rating on the popular Steam platform, where digital copies of games for PCs are sold.

Positive Response

Phantom Liberty garnered this positive response based on 1,215 user reviews just a few hours after its launch on Tuesday. The game has quickly climbed to second place on Steam‘s chart, surpassed only by the discounted version of Cyberpunk 2077, which has topped the chart following a recent free update. It is important to note that Phantom Liberty is only available to owners of the Cyberpunk game.

Analyst’s Insights

In response to the success of Phantom Liberty, Trigon DM analyst Kacper Kopron stated in a note to clients that “so far, all the parameters of the expansion look very good.” However, he also advised that some investors might consider taking profits at this time. As a result of the positive ratings and the release of the expansion, CD Projekt’s shares initially rose 24% in June, but as of 0805 GMT, they were down 2.8%.

Intriguing Spy-Thriller Adventure

Phantom Liberty offers players a spy-thriller adventure, featuring the return of Keanu Reeves in the role of Johnny Silverhand from Cyberpunk 2077, as well as the introduction of Idris Elba as the completely new character of Agent Solomon Reed. The expansion is available on PC and current-generation consoles, and it has been praised by critics and players alike. GameSpot, an American video gaming website, described Phantom Liberty as “Cyberpunk 2077 at its best.”
