'Cyberpunk 2077' (ALL) Gets Its Own Xbox One X Custom Console

by Rainier on April 20, 2020 @ 1:11 p.m. PDT

Cyberpunk 2077 is a narrative-driven, open world RPG set in the most vibrant and dangerous metropolis of the future — Night City.

Cyberpunk 2077 will be designed for mature and demanding players who expect to be treated seriously, and the game will be richly detailed, non-linear, and with a complex and gripping story.

The creators promise that “Cyberpunk 2077” will be true to the essence of the cyberpunk genre. Players will be thrown into the dark future of the year 2077 and into a world where advanced technologies have become both the salvation and the curse of humanity. A multi-thread, nonlinear story designed for mature players will take place in the sprawling metropolis of Night City and its surroundings. Players will have a chance to freely roam the open-world environment and visit places well known from the pen-and-paper RPG “Cyberpunk 2020”, including a combat zone completely taken over by gangs, the legendary Afterlife joint and the nostalgic Forlorn Hope.

In Cyberpunk 2077, the player will be thrown into a dark future. The metropolis of Night City is a stage set to tell the tale of one individual, raised on the streets, who tries to lift himself up from the gutter and find a way to survive amongst booster gangs and mega corporations in a city of filth and sin. Drugs, violence, poverty and exclusion haven’t disappeared by 2077, as people stayed as they were for centuries – greedy, closed-minded and weak. But not only ghosts of the past trouble mankind, but new issues have appeared. Psychos go on rampages and the streets are filled with junkies addicted to a new form of entertainment – the braindance, a cheap way to experience the emotions and stimuli of someone else, someone living a more exciting life.

After getting its own GeForce RTX 2080 Ti Edition graphics card, Cyberpunk 2077 is now also getting an Xbox One X in custom console.


Created in collaboration between designers from CD PROJEKT RED and Microsoft, the limited-edition, 1TB console encapsulates the urban decay and vibrant tech of Night City. Its design features glow-in-the-dark elements, custom decorative panels, LEDs, color-shift effects, and textures — all evoking numerous facets of Cyberpunk 2077’s dark future setting. The console comes with an Xbox wireless controller uniquely inspired by the character of Johnny Silverhand, featuring a half natural, half cyber-enhancement chrome design. Available as part of the bundle later this year, the controller can also be purchased separately right now at select retailers, including the Microsoft Store.


Available as part of the Xbox One X Cyberpunk 2077 Limited Edition Bundle later this year and for purchase separately beginning today, the Xbox Wireless Controller – Cyberpunk 2077 Limited Edition ($74.99 USD), features a half natural and half cyber-enhancement design inspired by the breathtaking character, Johnny Silverhand. This Xbox Wireless Controller will help immerse you in a future where technology is the key to survival. The new controller is compatible with the Xbox One family of devices and includes a 3.5mm stereo headset jack and Bluetooth technology for gaming on Windows 10 PCs, tablets, laptops, and mobile devices.


If you want to keep your controller fully juiced in style, also available is the Cyberpunk 2077 Limited Edition Xbox Pro Charging Stand. Equipped with cybernetic enhancements, the Cyberpunk 2077 Xbox Pro Charging Stand is designed to perfectly match the Cyberpunk 2077 Limited Edition Controller. Officially licensed and manufactured with the same high quality and color material as the controller, the Xbox Pro Charging Stand is a premium, high-performance, seamless charging experience. The magnetic contact systems ensures a perfect and secure charge every time. Each Xbox Pro Charging Stand comes with a premium charging stand, battery cover, rechargeable battery and 6-foot power cord. The Cyberpunk 2077 Xbox Pro Charging Stand is available today for $49.99 USD at select retailers in the United States and Canada, including Microsoft Store, near you and online.


You can also keep your game arsenal within reach and ready to play with the Seagate Game Drive for Xbox: Cyberpunk 2077 Special Edition in 2TB and 5TB capacity options. Tagged with the futuristic, unparalleled look and feel of the Cyberpunk 2077 universe, this game drive is the perfect storage complement to the Xbox One X Cyberpunk 2077 Limited Edition Bundle. Seagate game drives run on the same hard drive firmware as Xbox consoles for seamless gameplay, and consoles auto-detect drives to guide you through fast, easy install. You can pre-order the Seagate 2TB Game Drive for Xbox: Cyberpunk Special Edition worldwide today for $89.99 USD at Microsoft Store and other select retailers and the 5TB variation for $149.99 USD at Seagate.com. Both capacity variations will be available for purchase in June 2020.


Inspired by Night City’s most infamous rockerboy and his iconic cyberarm, Arctis 1 Wireless for Xbox Johnny Silverhand Edition, the official headset of Cyberpunk 2077, provides the definitive way to experience the immersive audio and futuristic world of Cyberpunk 2077. The headset features rock-solid, lossless 2.4GHz wireless with ultra-low latency for Xbox and PC, a detachable ClearCast noise-canceling microphone for natural-sounding clarity, and a steel-reinforced headband for a perfect fit and lasting durability. You can pre-order the extremely limited Arctis 1 Wireless for Xbox Johnny Silverhand Edition today for $109.99 USD or pick one up June 2020. Lock your pre-order in at SteelSeries.com and other select retailers in the United States and United Kingdom.

Braindances are digital recordings of a person’s experience. The viewer can stream a braindance directly into his neural system via special brain augmentations, called a BD player. Braindances allow the viewer to experience all brain processes registered, including emotions, muscle movements and all stimuli perceived by the recording person.

The range of themes of these recordings varies from simple braindances made by megacorporations, which e.g. allow the viewer to feel the full experience of an explorer with all its thrills, sweats, smells, views, sounds and the real feeling of curiosity that pushes men to go beyond the horizon against fear and physical weakness. But there are also more controversial sides of braindance, because some recordings are created illegally in the underground. Entering the mind of a serial killer means not only seeing the monstrosity he performs, but also living his lust to kill and fulfillment.

You haven’t experienced the latest New Hollywood recording? You’re nobody! The streets live with braindances, everyone just got crazy and wants to be a part of this new entertainment fad. Some people push it even too far and they cannot stop living other people’s lives.  If you’re not linked to a braindance right now, you are probably discussing what happened to you during your last session. Of course, just like every great new cultural movement, BDs have people who criticize them. Just watch these two guys arguing about this phenomena.

This is the world of 2077. The gap between high and low is bigger than ever. Drugs, violence, braindance, psychos on the loose… Will you be able to function in this defunct society or end up a BD-junky with nothing left, set aside like garbage - still living someone’s else life – not aware of what’s going on around you?  Whether you like it or not - this is the age of braindance decadence; this is Cyberpunk 2077.

Cyberpunk 2077 is in development for PS4, Xbox One and PC, scheduled for Sept. 17, 2020. The Google Stadia version will launch the same year — additional details will be made available at a later date.
