Erogamez: Hello.

I'm near the the end of Act Two of Cyberpunk 2077. Apparently, I have just one more main mission to complete before I can start the Phantom Liberty-specific storyline in Dogtown.

There are also still several side quests and gigs already in my journal that I want to start and finish before the end of the overall game. My question is: Once I enter Dogtown and start the new Phantom Liberty missions, will I still be able to complete these already-existing side quests? Will they remain available and in my journal where I can tackle them at any time later at my convenience?

(I had assumed the existing side quests would still be available, but just want to make sure.)

PaladinNO: I'm not sure if this answers your question, but some examples from my own playthrough:

- Beat on The Brat. I had not yet done the final match, despite it being available, when I updated the main game (coming from 1.6), installed Phantom Liberty and continued on my current playthrough. After having completed about half of the Phantom Liberty main missions and gigs, I left Dogtown and did the final Beat on The Brat mission. No issues.

- The Hunt (River's questline). I was at this point in the game in patch 1.6, and after having updated to 2.0 and spent a lot of time in Dogtown, this mission was still available, and I finished River's quests a couple days ago. No issues.

EDIT:
Yes, you'll be able to leave Dogtown some time after (breaking and) entering.

J Lo: You'll be locked into Dogtown for a short while, but can leave later and tie up any loose ends.
