CD PROJEKT RED has published a map detailing the unlock and preload times for Cyberpunk 2077 across various regions of the world. It appears that the highly anticipated RPG will be unlocked and playable on PC (and Stadia) a few hours ahead of its official December 10 release date for the Americas, with US east coast residents being able to play as early as 7 PM EST.
Those of you who already purchased Cyberpunk 2077 on PC and Stadia (or plan to do so shortly) can preload the game beginning on December 7. The GOG version can be preloaded at 12 p.m. CET, while the Steam and Epic Games Store versions can be preloaded at 5 p.m. CET.
As for the console editions, those will release in each region at midnight local time. “Preload of the game will be available on Thursday, December 3rd, at 5 p.m. CES on Xbox, and two days prior to the release date on PlayStation,” CD PROJEKT RED noted.
CD PROJEKT RED has also released a neat trailer showcasing Cyberpunk 2077’s Photo Mode, which, as you can probably guess, allows players to take photos of their customized characters and the many gorgeous locales that comprise Night City. Photo Mode includes plenty of options for getting the perfect shot, such as character pose and effect sliders (e.g., contrast, vignette).
#Cyberpunk2077 unlock and preload times are here!

I’ve heard about that, but I have it on Steam. We can’t even try to launch it.
Want a screenshot?
Well yeah, or it didn’t happen.
Absurd res warning.

No performance or lockup issues here. Also using the newest Geforce driver. Have played about 3.5 hours so far.
RTX 2080 non super, 32 gig of ram, Ryzen 9 3900x CPU, and running off of an NVME 3.0×4 Samsung drive.
I have decided to stick to 1440p with settings maxxed and Quality DLSS. 4K is barely 30FPS for me with everything cranked and DLSS Quality set on.
You could tell it was a massive success for them based on the DL speeds on Steam, it was really struggling.
I didn’t download until the morning I posted about pre-loads being open. Got most of it in around 20-30 minutes on GOG. I don’t know how the patch went since I usually just turn on the rig and let it do its thing when I get back home. It was just ready when I went to check last night. Even with bugs/glitches/whatnot, I’m happy for CDPR. This looks fun and not something I’ll get burned out on in a couple of hours like so many other games in the last couple of years. From what I’ve read in reviews I can burn through the main campaign quickly and go back and explore every nook and cranny at leisure, or just take my time. I like that. It’s made a huge difference with replayablilty for W3 over the years.
Honestly man.. even from the hour or so I’ve played… I’d say drop the release price unless you’re strapped for money. In that case UNDERSTOOD! Been there done that!
I got a 4K LG 32", So going for that.
