On what date was Cyberpunk 2077 first released?

Cyberpunk 2077 was first released on December 10, 2020.

The launch followed several delays. CD Projekt Red initially announced an April 2020 release, then moved the date to September and later to November before confirming December 10. The final release arrived simultaneously on PC, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Stadia, while versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S followed later through next-generation updates.

The date refers to the original release, not the later major updates or the Phantom Liberty expansion. Those later releases changed the game substantially, especially update 2.0, which rebuilt several systems including perks, police behavior, vehicle combat, and cyberware.

Cyberpunk 2077’s launch became a major topic in the video-game industry because performance differed sharply between platforms. CD Projekt Red issued multiple patches afterward, and the game received continuing technical improvements. The original date remains the key historical marker for the game’s debut and is distinct from the 2023 release of Phantom Liberty.
