Cyberpunk 2077 to Xbox Game Pass? A Tease Ignites Fan Hopes!

Alright, fellow gamers, let's talk about something that's really got the internet buzzing – and for good reason! It looks like there's a strong possibility that CD Projekt Red's epic, and ultimately redeemed, open-world RPG, Cyberpunk 2077, could be making its way to Xbox Game Pass. Now, hold your horses a moment, nothing's officially confirmed just yet, but the breadcrumbs dropped by Xbox themselves are pretty tantalizing, wouldn't you say?

For those who've been living under a rock, Cyberpunk 2077 had, shall we say, a bit of a rough start. A really rough start, actually. But fast forward to today, and thanks to a monumental effort from the developers, numerous patches, and the incredible 2.0 update alongside the fantastic Phantom Liberty expansion, it's truly become the game we all hoped for – a masterpiece, even. It’s been an incredible comeback story, a real phoenix-from-the-ashes moment for the gaming world. And now, this game, this vastly improved experience, might just be heading to Game Pass.

So, what exactly sparked all this excitement? Well, it all kicked off when the official Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter account (or X account, if you prefer) decided to follow the Xbox Game Pass account. A small detail, perhaps, but in the world of video game hints and teases, that’s practically a billboard-sized announcement. Then, adding fuel to the fire, the Xbox Game Pass account itself posted a rather cryptic tweet, hinting at a "BIG day" coming soon and mentioning "something special" arriving on the service. Honestly, when you put those two things together, it's hard not to connect the dots, right?

It's worth remembering that the Phantom Liberty expansion is exclusively for current-gen consoles (Xbox Series X|S, PS5) and PC. So, if Cyberpunk 2077 does indeed land on Game Pass, it would likely be the beefed-up, current-gen version, giving a whole new wave of players the chance to experience Night City in all its gritty, beautiful glory, complete with all the recent improvements. Imagine that! Millions of new players diving into V's story, exploring the neon-drenched streets, making those tough choices that CD Projekt Red is so good at crafting.

For CD Projekt Red, this would be a massive win too. It’s a chance to introduce their now-polished gem to an even wider audience, solidifying their redemption arc and bringing in new fans who might have held off after the initial launch fiasco. And for us players? Well, it means potentially getting one of the best single-player RPGs out there as part of our Game Pass subscription. Who wouldn't want that?

Of course, this isn't confirmed until we hear it directly from Xbox or CDPR, but the signs are definitely pointing towards a very exciting future. Keep those eyes peeled and those controllers charged, because Night City might just be opening its gates to a whole new legion of Game Pass subscribers very, very soon. Let's hope it's true!
