We’ve finally reached the point where we’re less than a week away from the release of Cyberpunk 2077, and perhaps unsurprisingly, given all the changes to the release date, copies of the game appear to have shipped a bit earlier. In anticipation of any potential leakage stemming from this, CD Projekt Red has requested that players avoid streaming or uploading video of the game prior to launch day … or else face a corporate takedown task force. I guess it’s something you would expect from the Cyberpunk world.
The source of the first copies, according to customer reports on social media, appears to be the American retailer Best Buy. Multiple customers have uploaded images of their Cyberpunk 2077 boxes, and it’s the eye-catching collector’s edition that appears to have appeared early.
So my @CyberpunkGame Collector’s Edition just arrived from Best Buy … (???)

At the time of writing, no one is trying to stream the game on YouTube or Twitch, but perhaps that is due to a warning from CD Projekt Red. “We are getting closer and closer to launch and some of you may have on your hands a copy of Cyberpunk 2077 before launch day, “the Cyberpunk 2077 account tweeted last night.” As difficult as it is for us to achieve, our ambition is for gamers around the world to have the same spoiler-free experience at the time of release. launch of the game.
“That’s why we kindly ask you not to stream / play or post similar content before December 9 at 12pm CET / 3am PST. We will send MAX-TAC (you know, the guys who delete videos) does.”
MAX-TAC refers to a special unit police force in the Cyberpunk universe rather than a real world company, if you’re wondering.

While the statement is fun, CD Projekt Red also makes it pretty clear that you’ll end up with a takedown notice if you try to stream the game early. The warning comes a bit late for people who streamed the game’s inception last week, although frankly the annoying comments made most of it unseen.
However, as we all know, things spread pretty fast on the internet, so if you’re trying to stay as spoiler-free as possible ahead of launch, now might be the time to set up some Cyberpunk filters on your social media. I’m sure an anti-spoiler implant will be created at some point in the future.
