With the launch of a major update for Xbox Cloud Gaming, fifty games will be available to stream on the service, includingCyberpunk 2077. Originally released in 2020,Cyberpunk’s troubled launch has arguably been redeemed by multiple years of support from developer CD Projekt RED, including multiple major reworks of the game’s systems, the addition of new content, and the release of the critically acclaimedPhantom LibertyDLC. While updates for the game have all but ended as CDPR looks towards a sequel, the completed version is still making its way to new platforms.
As announced by@CyberpunkGame on X,Cyberpunk 2077is one of the fifty titles that can now be streamed on Xbox Cloud Gaming outside the Xbox Game Pass catalog. The additions also include the likes ofBaldur’s Gate 3,Balatro, andThe Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.
