See Idris Elba in Cyberpunk 2077 without starting Phantom Liberty

Idris Elba’s Character in Cyberpunk 2077 Can Be Found Before DLC Releases

If you’re a fan of Idris Elba and his appearance in Cyberpunk 2077, you’ll be happy to know that you don’t even need to start Phantom Liberty to see his character, Solomon Reed. This unique character can actually be found in the game before the DLC content kicks off, although you might not recognize him at first.

Spotting Solomon Reed in the Game

During the DLC, Reed mentions that he works as a bouncer at a club. Interestingly, one eagle-eyed player on Reddit pointed out that Reed can be seen performing this job during your playthrough of the vanilla Cyberpunk 2077 game. To see it for yourself, visit Electric Orgasm in the downtown city center.

Other players responded to this discovery by sharing that Elba’s character isn’t the only one to have a presence before the DLC. Songbird can also be spotted early in various locations, including the club Empathy. It’s a pretty cool detail, isn’t it?

You Don’t Need the DLC to See Idris Elba

If you were planning to get the DLC just to see Idris Elba’s character, there’s good news for you. You might not have to! However, it’s important to note that there’s a lot more of Elba’s character if you do purchase Phantom Liberty. So, we’d recommend pulling the trigger and getting the DLC anyway.

The DLC Phantom Liberty is now available to play in the new Cyberpunk 2077 2.0, which brings much-needed changes from the original release of the game. If you haven’t played Cyberpunk since launch, or haven’t played it at all, now is the perfect time to jump into the action.

Cyberpunk 2077’s DLC, Phantom Liberty, is priced at $30. So, make sure you don’t skip out on the content once you purchase it. Trust us, it’s worth every penny. Answer V’s urgent call and dive into the world of Cyberpunk 2077.
