While most copyrighted music can be disabled, there is one exception in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty . The artist Grimes has a song called “Delicate Weapon” featured in the game. This track is present in several scenes and a radio station and cannot be muted using the upcoming feature. CD Projekt Red has implemented a delay for copyright claims on Grimes’ song. For the first two years after the expansion’s release, the song will not demonetize content created using it.

After the initial two-year period, the song “Delicate Weapon” will be subject to copyright claims. To avoid a loss of revenue, content creators will need to manually mute the soundtrack from the game when editing or streaming gameplay.
