Your journey to Night City is close at hand! As of today, you can pre-load all the necessary files to install Cyberpunk 2077 through your GOG GALAXY app. This way you’ll be able to dive into the most anticipated open-world RPG quickly on 10th December, when the grand premiere of the game takes place.

While we’re at it - take a look at our video below! We’ve created it along with the game’s creators to show you how super grateful we are that you’ve chosen to pre-order Cyberpunk 2077 on GOG.COM, where 100% of your money goes to CD PROJEKT Group.

We can confirm that offline installers will be available at launch, at 1 AM CET. We'll continue to immediately update them with the latest patches after the game's release.

You may have noticed the pre-load is getting updated - it's the 10GB release patch we've implemented now so you can enjoy a smooth launch. The update is 10GB BUT it actually implements changes to some of the existing files, meaning around 50GB of data has to be changed. That is why GOG GALAXY needs roughly 50-60GB of free space for the patch to successfully update.

Alternatively, you can uninstall the pre-load and install it again - that should also do the trick.

Anime-BlackWolf: Kill DRM free and you lose me as a customer. Sorry. Some principles will NEVER fall for me.

ReynardFox: I'm right there with you.
Quite simple indeed. We have the money, THEY want it. Just wait and withhold the purchase. I have time...

SmollestLight: To answer some questions:

MY REWARDS requires connecting to your GOG account via GOG GALAXY.
Why? What became of Galaxy being 100% optional?

You can't pretend that it is anymore. Nor can you keep to pretend that you are a 100% DRM-free store.

So, please, at least have the courage to remove the 'DRM-free' advertisement from your front page and your 'About GOG' page. It isn't true any longer. And I won't buy here any longer. DRM-free was what made you special and worth to support. You've given up on that.

As if anyone working here has enough of a spine to own up to their dishonesty... I'm now just wondering how long til the thread lock happens.

The funny thing is that I'm sure that the hackers who will crack the game will be able to integrate this in there release

How do you get the GOG Galaxy app?

As long as they TELL the buyer about it's DRM features (see "Cyberpunk") I Have no problem with their "DRM free"-Logo. The old games ARE DRM free. Only the CD Project Red ones not anymore it seems (the "No Man's Sky" desaster I can accept, since multiplayer was patched in later). And THAT is the real dealbreaker here.

TerriblePurpose: So the last core principle now lies in shambles. Ironic, I guess (and sad), that it's a CDProjektRed game that really drives the nail into that coffin for the offline installer users, isn't it?
Well, it fits the precedent that they set with GWENT. GOG used to be strictly anti-microtransactions. Until they released that CDPR game whose only reason to exist are micro-transactions. So I did expect Cyberpunk to be the first game on GOG, that breaks the 'DRM-free' principle. ... Well, it wasn't the first, actually, but still, I expected there to be DRM in Cyberpunk 2077. ... And for once it feels really bad to have been right!

No, everyone with a spine was either fired or left of their own accord, because people with integrity don't fit into GOG anymore.

There has been some crazy moderation going on today including thread locking and thread deletion, so I wouldn't put it past them at this rate.

Yes. I wouldn't be surprised if the post by SmollestLight, where they admit that Cyberpunk isn't DRM-free, will be deleted later as well.

amok: *shrugh* belive what you want, take your own risks. I really do not care if you use grey market sellers, but at least know what you are doing and the risks you are taking.

(Of course it is about digital, if you got the game as physical copy, then it is a differnt ball game.)

TerriblePurpose: From what I understand, Amazon is/was selling the game for PC. But PC copies are really only the box with a digital code in it (which would presumably be a GOG code?); there are no physical discs for PC. So that would be legit. Thing is, if you ordered that way, you're not going to get the code until the box is delivered to you, which would be on the 10th, so no preload.
yeah, that is still under 'physical', even though you get a pice of paper and not a disc. Physical and digital relatil work very differently, and the publisher for the physical versions is not CD Red but Bandai Namco. Physical stores buy the copies from the publisher, then re-sell them for a markup price. Digital stores do not buy 'stock', but give the publisher a cut of the profit. This is why the digital 'grey market' sellers are different from partners, they need to buy or get keys from somewhere, then resell them. When it comes to steam, the publsihers can generate x amount of keys themselves ,which they can pass on to stores they have a partership with. However, gOg do not allow this, and have the key generation in house only, so the only way to get gOg keys is via gOg.

naantje: So what you're saying is that you completey made up the statement that Humble is the only 'legal' third party seller. Gotcha
There are non, nor will here every be as gOg needs maintain flexibility. However, this is very easy to check. When a store becomes a partner of gOg and allowed to sell the keys, they can say so on the website. It is the same for all digital stores, no matter which store they sell for, be it Steam, gOg, UBI, EGS, Origin or what-ever. They all state that they have offocialy linecesd keys, either from the store or from the publishers. So if you would let me know which site you got the key from, then I can check if they are officlal partners or not. I would like to know, anyway, because if I am wrong, then I would not mind use them myself.

edit- I said Humble as the only store earler, as this is the only store I know that says so. I would be very happy to be proven wrong

So I'll miss out on cosmetic fluff I never touch in any other game either (such as special pre-order skins/weapons & outfit packs that are often included in ultimate versions)? *shrug*

Just looking at the stuff advertised on the CP website, this seems to be mostly meant to entice people to sign up with GOG, possibly buying directly from here. That said, hiding it behind an online check is a bit dubious. If a person buys the game directly from GOG, what is the point? That means they're already a GOG user, so having this extra activation step seems strange rather than being automatically unlocked in the GOG version, which probably doesn't require anything more than a simple line of code.

Kinda dumb.

That whole rewards thing is so silly and pointless.

They could easily add the stuff as small dlc installers - like the Witcher alternate outfits.
And most people will use Galaxy to install and play anyway - for convenience, achievements and stuff. More patches will certainly roll in shortly after release, and the client is the most easy and fast way to get them.

I don't get why CDPR insists on alienating their most faithful customers like that - what is there to gain?


(Also I wonder if handing out jackets and t-shirts as rewards in a first person game makes much sense.)
