Night City eagerly welcomes new inhabitants, even those just passing through for a brief visit. For a limited time over Easter, CD Projekt Red is inviting players on PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S to dive into the world of Cyberpunk 2077 free trial.

From 11am ET on March 28 until 2:59am ET on April 1, you can immerse yourself in five hours of this expansive first-person RPG without any additional fees. While PlayStation Plus Premium members already have access to a similar five-hour trial, this special offer requires no subscription, allowing everyone to join in.

For those adept at gaming, a five-hour adventure in Cyberpunk 2077 could potentially lead you to a crucial heist mission, a turning point in the game’s first act where the narrative really begins to unfold. This sneak peek might just capture your interest enough to purchase the full game.

Cyberpunk 2077 faced significant challenges upon its initial release in 2020, to the extent that Sony removed it from the PlayStation Store and issued refunds. However, the game has significantly improved since then. My own experience with the game was initially brief, but the introduction of versions optimised for current-gen consoles in early 2022 reignited my interest, and I thoroughly enjoyed the base game.

I haven't yet explored the widely acclaimed Phantom Liberty expansion or the extensive 2.0 update that revamped major aspects of the game, but newcomers will have the opportunity to experience some of these enhancements during the Cyberpunk 2077 free trial this weekend.
