Towards the end of last week (week ending 17/04/2020) the Xbox Social media channels began teasing with some cryptic clues that all had a Cyberpunk 2077 theme to them with the aim for fans to work out the “Code”. Sadly over the weekend, the full on trailer for the reveal went viral and so the surprise was spoiled a little.
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.
Bundled alongside the console and controller will be an Xbox One digital download code for Cyberpunk 2077 and other surprises that will be announced soon. Additional details regarding the bundle and controller are available on the dedicated website.
On top of the console, a new custom Xbox Wireless Controller alongside with a special designed charging station and Seagate External Hardrive will also be launched:
Cyberpunk 2077 will release September 17th, 2020, for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4, with the version for Google Stadia set to launch the same year.

My Thoughts…
As someone who is a huge fan of custom consoles and as someone who proudly owns the Gears 5 Custom Xbox One X console, I have to say that the teams at Xbox and CD Projekt Red have knocked this right out the park. The console itself is just stunning, capturing the essence of the Cyberpunk universe and yet again, the extra detailing of the glow in the dark writing is going to make this stand out in any gamer’s setup.
The controller is equally stunning and has already gone on my Birthday list to go with the game come its September launch, I love the decals on it and the colour scheme really pops for me with the red and the black against the silver. The Seagate external drive fits in perfectly as well, you can really see the care and attention that has gone into the design of this console and accessory range.
Definitely one for collectors out there and I am loving this partnership between Xbox and CD Projekt Red for Cyberpunk 2077, nice to have some little treats as we count down the months to finally get to play Cyberpunk 2077.
Fair to say that this console and range….are simply “Breathtaking”!
