Part 6/9:
While Cyberpunk 2077 remains microtransaction-free, the situation with Cyberpunk Online—the planned multiplayer spin-off—is different. CD Projekt Red has openly discussed their approach to microtransactions for this separate endeavor, emphasizing that they aim for a monetization model that respects players and offers perceived value. They have stated they do not intend to adopt aggressive tactics and will be transparent about these features once the game is closer to release.
The multiplayer project’s delayed launch timeline (2022 or later) and its separation from the core game mean that players can expect a clear distinction and should not worry about the single-player experience being affected.
