Cyberpunk 2077 has completed its vast turnaround, going from a botched and buggy 2020 launch to a much more polished and widely acclaimed experience thanks to a recent update and the Phantom Liberty expansion. Now it’s all getting bundled together for new players—and for some reason, the bundle is the first three-disc set ever for the Xbox Series X.

That means it will have the only physical version of Phantom Liberty, which could make it more appealing to collectors.
Xbox Series X game discs typically hold up to 50GB worth of content, so taking up three discs means it’s sure to provide an absolutely massive experience.
