Download Cyberpunk 2077 for Windows 11 and Windows 10

Steam and GOG both sell the Windows version. CD Projekt Red made Windows 11 the minimum required OS for Cyberpunk 2077 after Microsoft ended Windows 10 support on October 14, 2025, and no longer tests the game on Windows 10. The Steam listing still shows 64-bit Windows 10, and DirectX 12 is required on either version.

The Steam listing covers both Windows and Mac, and the Steam copy includes Steam Cloud saves, Steam Achievements, Family Sharing and full controller support. Cyberpunk 2077 is not sold as a Windows edition on xbox.com: the Xbox listing covers Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and Xbox Cloud Gaming.

Install Cyberpunk 2077 through Steam

  1. Open the Cyberpunk 2077 page on the Steam store and install the Steam client if the PC or Mac does not have it yet.
  2. Sign in to Steam, return to the Cyberpunk 2077 page and buy the game, adding Phantom Liberty separately if you want the expansion.
  3. Open your Steam library and install Cyberpunk 2077 on an SSD with at least 70 GB free on Windows, or 92 GB free on a Mac.
  4. Launch the game from the library; reaching the main menu confirms the install worked.

Steam lists the SSD as required at both the minimum and recommended spec, and CD Projekt Red ended hard drive support in September 2023. The Mac version must also be installed on an SSD.

Download Cyberpunk 2077 on Xbox, PlayStation and Nintendo Switch 2

One Xbox listing covers Xbox One and Xbox Series X|S, with Smart Delivery and the Optimized for Xbox Series X|S badge. The PS5 version is a separate download: owners of disc and digital PS4 editions upgrade to it for free, and PS4 save files transfer to it. Nintendo Switch 2 gets Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition on the official Nintendo store.

The Xbox One and PS4 versions received their last patch on November 8th, 2022 and are no longer supported. An Xbox Series X|S or a PS5 is required to apply later patches and to buy and play the Phantom Liberty expansion.

Is Cyberpunk 2077 on Game Pass?

No. Buy the Xbox edition of Cyberpunk 2077; Game Pass Essential, Premium or Ultimate then lets you stream it through Xbox Cloud Gaming. The Xbox listing states the game is cloud playable with those three plans and that a game purchase is required.

PC Game Pass does not include Xbox Cloud Gaming, and Cyberpunk 2077 has no Windows edition on xbox.com.

Is Cyberpunk 2077 free?

No. Steam, the Mac App Store, the Xbox store and the PlayStation Store all sell Cyberpunk 2077 as a paid game, and the five-hour PlayStation trial ran only until March 25, 2022. On PlayStation, the base game is also part of the PlayStation Plus Extra Game Catalog.

These are the US prices listed on each official store.

Edition Steam (PC and Mac) Mac App Store Xbox store PlayStation Store
Cyberpunk 2077 $59.99 Not listed $59.99+ $49.99
Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition Not listed; buy the base game and Phantom Liberty $82.90 $79.99+ (Xbox Series X|S) $70.99 (PS5)
Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty (add-on) $29.99 Included in Ultimate $29.99 $29.99

The Ultimate Edition bundles the base game with the Phantom Liberty expansion.

Can you download Cyberpunk 2077 on Mac?

Your Mac Best route Official link Note
Apple M1 chip or later, buying the base game Steam Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam One listing for Windows and Mac, 92 GB
Apple M1 chip or later, want everything in one purchase Mac App Store Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Includes Phantom Liberty, Mac only, 159 GB
Intel Mac Xbox Cloud Gaming in Safari Xbox Cloud Gaming Buy the Xbox edition, plus Game Pass Essential, Premium or Ultimate

Both Mac builds require macOS 15.5 or later and a Mac with an Apple M1 chip or later, so an Intel Mac meets neither requirement. To check your Mac, open the Apple menu in the top-left corner of the screen and select About This Mac, which shows the chip, memory and macOS version.

The Mac App Store listing asks for about 15% extra free space during download and installation, on top of the listed size.

The official way to play it on a phone is Xbox Cloud Gaming: buy the Xbox edition, keep an Xbox Game Pass Essential, Premium or Ultimate subscription, and stream the game from xbox.com/play in Safari on iPhone or in a supported browser on Android.

Xbox Cloud Gaming needs a compatible controller connected over Bluetooth or USB and a connection of at least 10 Mbps down, with 5GHz Wi-Fi recommended. Cloud playtime is capped at 5 hours a month on Essential, 10 hours on Premium and 15 hours on Ultimate.
