Polish development studio CD Projekt Red has issued an apology for some of the content included in the Ukrainian version of Cyberpunk 2077's recently released DLC, Phantom Liberty. The apology comes after players pointed out several instances of anti-Russian rhetoric appearing in the Ukrainian localization of the game.

One example of the game's "anti-Russian sentiment" includes a group of bandits being referred to as "rusnia," a phrase considered to be derogatory towards Russians. References to Russia's invasion of Ukraine can also be found in the game, including some graffiti in Night City that suggests the game takes place in a future where Ukraine has regained control of Crimea, which is currently under Russian control after a 2014 invasion.

Even photo mode contains a certain pose (which depicts the game's protagonist squatting) which may be seen as offensive. The pose is called "Like A Russian" in the Ukrainian localization of the game, whereas most other versions of the games simply call the pose "Slav Squat."
