Although the Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 update has been released, players can still revert to an earlier version if they want on PCs. Here’s a handy guide on how to revert to an earlier Cyberpunk 2077 build after 2.0 update on Steam and GOG.

The free Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 update is finally available to download for all players worldwide. However, addressing the new overhaul as an ‘update’ would be an understatement as the changes are massive.

When changes of such magnitude are deployed, at times it becomes impossible to revert back to earlier versions of a game. That is not the case with Cyberpunk 2077 2.0! By following a few steps, you can switch between the current and previous builds of the game at will, but it’s only limited to PCs.

With that said, here’s a handy guide on how you can revert to an earlier Cyberpunk 2077 version on Steam and GOG.
