It's been a long and occasionally strange road for the open world RPG, Cyberpunk 2077. While the game's rough launch followed by the various issues at developer CD Projekt RED have been well documented already, the studio has continued to plug away at the game with various patches and updates. While the game is now in a much better state than it was at launch, there's still a lot of content left unresolved on the game's admittedly sparse looking roadmap.
After a bit of time since the last update for Cyberpunk 2077, CD Projekt RED is finally issuing update 1.3. The hefty patch includes hundred of changes from minor fixes to larger quality of life improvements such as being able to respec characters at a much reduced cost. However, the question of free DLC has continued to be raised by the community after the initial window came and went without any update from the developer in July. Thankfully, update 1.3 also fixes this issue as the first three pieces of free DLC are also included.

According to the recently released patch notes for Update 1.3, Cyberpunk 2077 players will find three pieces of free DLC from the game's Additional Content menu. Similar to what the studio did with The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the first round of free content is purely cosmetic including two jackets for V, with one looking like the red jacket from Akira, a new Johnny Silverhand outfit, as well as a free car.
While Johnny's outfit can be enabled from the Cyberpunk 2077 Additional Content menu which replaces his default look, the Multilayered Syn-Leather Deltajock and Luminescent Punk Jackets can be found in V's stash at his apartment. However, these items won't be available until the player has completed the mission called The Ride and receiving a message from Viktor. The jackets are considered Rare/Iconic quality and can be crafted to a higher quality.
As for the car, the Archer Quartz "Bandit" can be unlocked or purchased, depending on choices made by the player after finishing the Ghost Town quest and receiving a message from Dakota or Rogue. For those who have yet to receive the message, players will need to be inside of the Badlands, move further away from Dakota's workshop and wait a few days to be contacted.
While fans will likely be happy to start getting free DLC along with a hefty list of game improvements, attention has started to turn to what's next for Cyberpunk 2077. While the studio continues to release patches to improve the game, fans are still waiting on the true next-generation versions of the game as well as details on the upcoming paid expansions. While fans continue to wait for official details from CD Projekt RED, it hasn't stopped fan speculation from trying to figure out where the story could go, from highlighting the Nomad faction or certain individuals like Misty.
Cyberpunk 2077 is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
