Cyberpunk 2077 Editions Differences

Cyberpunk 2077 Collector’s Edition
The Collector’s Edition is available for all three platforms – PC, Playstation and Xbox. It can only be purchased as a physical edition, though. That is the leading reason why it is a lot more expensive. CD Projekt Red stuffed it with amazing collectible items and a beautiful statue of V in action.
Here are the full contents of the Cyberpunk 2077 Collector’s Edition package (in cursive are the unique to this edition physical items):
- Collector’s Edition box
- Case with game discs (consoles)
- Case with game code and Soundtrack CDs (PC)
- Reversible cover
- Collectible Steelbook
- 25/20 inch statue depicting the main protagonist of the game V in action
- Hardcover art book
- Metal pin set
- Quadra V-Tech metal keychain
- An annotated copy of Visitor’s Guide to Night City sealed in an NCPD (Night City Police Department) evidence bag
- Embroidered patches
- World compendium detailing the game’s setting and lore
- Postcards from Night City
- Map of Night City
- Stickers bomb set
- Original Score
- Digital Comic “Cyberpunk 2077: Your Voice
- Art Booklet featuring a selection of art from the game
- Cyberpunk 2020 Sourcebook
- Wallpapers for Desktop and Mobile
The Collector’s Edition is very hard to come by and is sold out in most regions by now. Its price is set to about $250 (may vary based on your local currency and store).
Ultimate Edition
The Ultimate Edition of Cyberpunk 2077 is just a new package in physical or digital format. It offers nothing else exclusive. This bundle targets new players, who have not yet played the game at all and offers them a chance to get the entire package at a discounted price as opposed to purchasing the base game and its expansion separately.
The Ultimate edition in physical format is also valuable to some physical media collectors, probably. It contains the base game, all updates, including all free DLCs and the massive Update 2.0, as well as the Phantom Liberty expansion.
I myself am not a collector and am glad that CD Projekt RED is not trying to milk their existing players by offering something tiny small new feature or exclusive element to the Ultimate Edition to force the players to pay a step price for what they basically already own.
