CD PROJEKT RED announced on March 10, 2026 that Cyberpunk 2077 had joined Xbox Game Pass Premium and Ultimate for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. That is the confirmed scope of the publisher's announcement.
The news is straightforward, but subscription availability often attracts assumptions that are not in the announcement. This article keeps the boundaries clear: it explains what the publisher said, what it did not specify, and what a player should check before choosing a way to play.
What happened
The official post says Cyberpunk 2077 is available through the Premium and Ultimate Game Pass plans on Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One. The post points readers to the Xbox Store for availability.
That confirms a subscription option for the named Xbox platforms. It does not make a statement about every Game Pass plan, every PC entitlement, or every edition of the game.
Why the wording matters
Subscription catalogues, plan benefits, and regional availability can change. The announcement names Premium and Ultimate, so those are the plans a prospective player should verify in their own Xbox account or official store view.
Equally, the announcement does not say that the Phantom Liberty expansion is included. Players interested in the expansion should check the current official product listing instead of inferring inclusion from base-game availability.
A separate update is not a purchase requirement
Cyberpunk 2077's Update 2.3 was described by CD PROJEKT RED as a free update for owners of the base game on its supported platforms. The publisher's Update 2.3 page specifically says that Phantom Liberty and Ultimate Edition ownership are not required to receive that update.
That does not answer the subscription-entitlement question for every platform, but it does prevent one common mix-up: the free base-game update and access to the expansion are different things.
What players should check
Before downloading, confirm these details in the official Xbox or publisher listing:
- The Game Pass plan attached to your account.
- The platform on which you intend to play.
- Whether the listing identifies base-game access only or an edition that includes additional content.
- The current regional availability and install requirements.
We are intentionally not listing a price, a discount, or a retailer offer here. Those items are time-sensitive and are outside the publisher announcement this report is based on.
Where to go from here
If you are choosing between editions rather than a subscription option, see our Cyberpunk 2077 edition buying guide. It compares the official contents of the base game and Ultimate Edition without presenting a time-sensitive offer as permanent.
The short version: Game Pass Premium and Ultimate availability for Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One was confirmed by CD PROJEKT RED. Check the live official listing for the details that can change after an announcement.
