Cyberpunk 2077's New DLC Provides Bittersweet Ending for V by Trading Songbird for a Cure

Cyberpunk 2077's new Phantom Liberty DLC ending lets V live without ambiguity, but comes at a huge cost.

To get the new ending, V must betray Songbird and trade her to the NUSA for a cure. This destroys Johnny Silverhand.

After a 2 year coma, V wakes up cured but has lost their cyberware and connections in Night City.

The ending examines Cyberpunk 2077's themes about living long versus living well. V survives but loses their legend status.

Though disruptive, the ending provides a thoughtful coda reflecting on all of Cyberpunk 2077's narrative choices.
