CD Projekt Red has been rumored recently that Cyberpunk 2077 could be added to Xbox Game Pass, at least in the near future.

However, the nature of the service and the needs of subscribers is to always introduce new exciting games. That’s part of the reason why a recent rumor regarding Cyberpunk 2077 coming to Xbox Game Pass has attracted a lot of attention. However, in this case, it seems that the rumors about the addition of a new Xbox Game Pass are false. CD Projekt Red says Cyberpunk 2077 won’t be coming to Xbox Game Pass at this time.

The rumor was quashed by CD Projekt Red’s global director of public relations, Radek Grabowski. In a response posted on Twitter, Grabowski made it clear that CD Projekt Red There are currently no release plans Cyberpunk 2077 on Xbox Game Pass. That is obviously to open the door for Cyberpunk 2077 for a more in-depth subscription service, but any rumors of a planned release in the near future appear to be incorrect.

Now it’s clear that Cyberpunk 2077 not included in the video for any reason related to Xbox Game Pass, which is weird because Xbox Cloud Gaming Only works with Xbox Game Pass games at this time. Perhaps the trailer confused the issue, teasing the possibility that other digital games could be streamed via the cloud. However, that is a completely different rumor.

However, the issue surrounding the ability Cyberpunk 2077 Coming to Xbox Game Pass is actually somewhat more complicated. There’s a controversy behind some of the subscribers’ responses.

Perhaps then, with an update or even a DLC rolling out, CD Projekt Red will bring again Cyberpunk 2077 to Xbox Game Pass without question.
