Based on the classification granted by the ESRB organization, the study confirms how the presence of in-game payments will actually materialize.
CD Projekt RED has clarified the true meaning of Cyberpunk 2077's cataloging as a video game with “in-game purchases”; that is, purchases integrated within the title itself. The Polish study, in light of the stir caused by this classification granted by the ESRB organization, has ratified its word and clarifies that it is really about the expansions that the title will have in the future.
So no, there will be no microtransactions in Cyberpunk 2077, as they have said in the past. The authors of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt have also refused to integrate in-game purchases into their video games; whether cosmetic or directly affecting the gameplay, they have never accepted this policy of financial remuneration in their main titles.
