Cyberpunk 2077 is getting an Ultimate Edition, which includes the latest version of the game, alongside the Phantom Liberty expansion. The complete version is set to launch December 5, across PC, PS5, and Xbox Series S/X, with the last of them getting a full physical release. The Xbox package will come with three discs comprising all content, whereas the PS5 version will include a disc for the base version with the v2.0 overhaul and a voucher for the expansion to be downloaded from the PlayStation store. Meanwhile, the PC version serves a redeemable code on the GOG platform — no discs at all — CD Projekt Red's own gaming client, which ensures it keeps the full cut from the purchase.
“The reason for the difference in how the Phantom Liberty is included in the Ultimate Edition is due to technical requirements specific to each platform,” a CD Projekt Red spokesperson told IGN about the odd packaging decision. This is, of course, disappointing for PlayStation owners, who've been vying for physical media preservation, as major publishers continue down a path of digital future. While CD Projekt Red has simply cited platform-specific ‘technical requirements' as a hindrance, Digital Foundry's John Linneman suspects that the developer presumably didn't want to make a separate disc build for the PS5 release. What's more odd is that Cyberpunk 2077 was never launched physically on new-gen consoles, so the publisher should've made an entirely separate build on three discs, in addition to pulling the new cover art. For what it's worth, Cyberpunk 2077 has now beaten Baldur's Gate 3 to the punch, which was also planned for release on three discs on the Xbox Series X.
