CD Projekt RED announced Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition will launch for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC in select markets on December 5. It will include the base game, the Phantom Liberty expansion, and every update since.
Read details on the game below:
Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition is an open-world RPG containing two powerful adventures: the base game of Cyberpunk 2077, taking place in the dark future of Night City, and the expansion “Phantom Liberty,” a spy-thriller story set in the walled-off district of Dogtown. Players take on the role of V, a cyber-enhanced mercenary, and embark on a fight for survival filled with story-defining decisions, action-packed gameplay, and unforgettable characters, including rockerboy Johnny Silverhand (played by Keanu Reeves) and FIA sleeper agent Solomon Reed (played by Idris Elba).
This new release is the perfect way to experience every story of the dark future; it also contains the free Update 2.0, which overhauled many of the game’s systems, introducing dynamic skill trees, high-octane vehicle combat, and enhanced enemy and police AI—as well as adding new weapons, vehicles, and clothes. The release is bolstered with a set of previously released digital goodies available as part of the “My Rewards” program, available to all who register.

Nahhhh they lost me on the original release. Played it and felt lukewarm.
Atleast give it a try and play through the revamped system
Me too the damage has been done and cannot be repaired
Yes it can. Mind control
You know bro that is how it is. Back in the day they used to hire something called "game testers" But now we get to be game testers as first day buyers of said games!
Another example of why it pays to wait, instead of rushing in just to be first. I think I'll finally pick this up now.
So true look at skyrim.
Nice, the game is in a great state now. Although, as an RPG I thought it was quite mediocre.
Glad I don't know what was hyped, i'd prob be disappointed
Phantom Liberty was a masterpiece.
So the final compelte edition will be out!
Hope they give a shout out to all the beta testers.
Still not able to switch between first and third person view? Bye then!
Does anyone know if PS4 owners of the original have some kind of upgrade plan?
iirc, PS4 version has a free PS5 upgrade option.
DLC is a code but could fit on disc. wtf
CD Projekt RED broke this down later on. On PS5, it has one disc with Cyberpunk 2077 on it (not sure if fully patched or not), with a DLC code for the Phantom Liberty expansion. On PC, no discs are in the box (this is typical), and instead has two codes for the GOG (DRM-free) versions of Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty. Finally, on Xbox Series, this will be a full physical release containing the complete Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 patched game and Phantom Liberty on three discs. This marks the first ever Xbox Series game to ship on 3 discs actually.
its 90gbs with everything. 60gb without the dlc
Kotor was less than 2 gigs and was a lot of fun
Baldur's Gate 3 will be right after CP2077 for being on 3 discs for Xbox Series. It's weird, but hey, entire games on disc I'll always take. I have no earthly idea why that's not the case with the PS5 version.
Why on three discs on SX? Isnt the whole game around 90GB and a bluray disc has 100GB?
Because of Smart Delivery - one disc that can be used in either Xbox One or Xbox Series - Xbox Series (and Xbox One) share the same 50GB dual-layer Blu-ray Discs. Those only offer about ~45GB of actual usable space though, so I'm guessing Cyberpunk 2077 + Patch 2.0 + Phantom Liberty was just enough to be over two discs worth of space.
PS5 has support for triple-layer 100GB discs. There are not too many games that have taken advantage of that thus far though, mostly because of multi-platform releases on PS5/Xbox Series. A lot physical releases cannot actually be played using the discs alone: Call of Duty, a good example, has only a fraction of its ~150GB on a disc while the rest of it is a required download.
