CyberPunk 2077’s world is vibrant and dangerous. | Image: CD Projekt Red Over the last few years, CD Projekt Red put a ton of work into fixing Cyberpunk 2077 , squashing bugs, polishing content, and even launching new DLC in 2023, Phantom Liberty . As a result, this game has gone from a source for funny, glitch-fueled videos to a world I’ve returned to a number of times to live out my futuristic fantasies. A big discount happening across almost all platforms makes it a lot more accessible. Usually $59.99 for the standard edition, the game is priced at $17.99 at Steam . Its Ultimate Edition, which includes the Phantom Liberty DLC (usually $29.99 on its own), is discounted to $33.10. Xbox has the standard edition for $17.99 (usually $59.99), and the Ultimate Edition for $33.60 (usually $79.99).
