In an exciting surprise for fans, CD Projekt Red has rolled out a secret pre-holiday update for *Cyberpunk 2077*, and it comes with a delightful present for tabletop RPG enthusiasts! The latest patch, numbered 2.2, includes a free PDF guide called *Cyberpunk RED: Easy Mode*, which can be found in the Bonus Content folder for all players who own the game.

This unexpected addition is a streamlined introduction to the tabletop role-playing game *Cyberpunk RED*, designed to help new players dive into the world of tabletop gaming. The Easy Mode contains simplified rules and a beginner-friendly mission that introduces players to the unique mechanics of using dice pools, stepping away from traditional controllers. Gamers have the opportunity to step into the shoes of one of five pre-generated characters: the charismatic Rockerboy, the skilled Solo, the ingenious Techie, the supportive Medtech, and the dynamic Media. These archetypes resonate with the rich lore established in the *Cyberpunk 2077* universe, allowing players to explore an immersive narrative environment.

Fans may be interested to know that *Cyberpunk RED* is part of a long-standing franchise that dates back to the original *Cyberpunk 2020* RPG, first released in 1989. The entire series delves into the dark, gritty sci-fi future of a world dominated by rampant capitalism and corporate control, with the latest edition set in 2045, neatly bridging the gap between *Cyberpunk 2020* and *Cyberpunk 2077*.

While the perk has been confirmed for PC users, with the PDF available at *C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\music\Cyberpunk 2077 Bonus Content*, the ability to access it on Xbox and PlayStation consoles is still in question. A spokesperson indicated that it "should have been" made available for those platforms as well, but the confirmation is not yet verified.

For avid tabletop fans eager for more adventures, the Steam Bonus Content also provides access to the original *Cyberpunk 2020* core rulebook. If you're looking to dive deeper into the *Cyberpunk* universe, you can purchase the full *Cyberpunk RED* core rulebook directly from R Talsorian Games for $60.

Don't miss out on this exciting crossover between video gaming and tabletop role-play—it's your chance to engage with the immersive world of Night City like never before!
