A fullCyberpunk 2077Xbox One X bundle leaks online ahead of an official announcement. Images of alimited editionCyberpunk 2077Xbox One controller also leakedearlier today via an Amazon Canada listing.
On Twitter, the official Xbox account posted a strange video teaser and told fans to “break the code.” The video was then retweeted by the officialCyberpunk 2077account, confirming that this was some sort ofCyberpunk 2077Xbox announcement.
While many fans thought that it would just be a confirmation of theCyberpunk 2077Xbox One controller, going to the Xbox.com site provided more pieces to the puzzle. The Xbox.com version of the teaser, which is shown upon visiting the site, shows a blacked out version of an Xbox One X console. The end of the teaser also tells fans to come back to the site in four days. There are rumors that the Xbox team isplanning to make some very big Xbox announcements soon, but this isn’t what most fans will have been expecting.

However, not long after this the design of theCyberpunk 2077Xbox One X was also leaked. A Twitter account called DUDEMAN127 began to tweet the image of the console to several people who had tweeted about the official teaser. It’s unclear where DUDEMAN127 got the image from but the packshot shows an Xbox One X with a blue, gray, and yellow patchwork pattern on it, with theCyberpunk 2077controller sitting in front. The patchwork style was likely chosen because of thecyberware thatCyberpunk 2077characters can useas they can pick and choose different upgrades for their bodies.
Some fans aren’t happy about the design though and also want to know why Xbox thought that this would be a good idea. Some fans feel as though the console’s design doesn’t look as cool as characters likeJohnny Silverhand, theCyberpunk 2077NPC played by Keanu Reeves. Silverhand’s silver cybernetic arm has a much cleaner look than the dull, matte tones of this Xbox One X console bundle. The design of the console also doesn’t match the design of theCyberpunk 2077Xbox One controller.
Xbox has also been criticized for offering aCyberpunk 2077Xbox One X bundle when the Xbox Series X will launch so soon after. Developer CD Projekt RED has confirmed thatCyberpunk 2077will be released on Xbox Series X, though not at launch. Xbox and CD Projekt RED could offer aCyberpunk 2077Xbox Series X bundle after launch but this could mean that fans have to choose between buying an Xbox One X they don’t need or getting the Xbox Series X at launch.
Cyberpunk 2077releases September 16 on Google Stadia, PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
