Cyberpunk 2077 has a 43GB day one patch

The highly-anticipated Cyberpunk 2077 is just days away from its December 10th release. But depending on where you live and what platform you’re playing on, you might get to play the game a bit earlier than you might have expected given the previous guidance.

Developer CD Projekt Red shared exactly when Cyberpunk 2077 will be available in a tweet posted Thursday. If you’re playing on PC or Stadia, you’ll be able to start the game at 12 AM GMT on December 10th no matter where you are in the world. That means, for example, that if you live on the US East Coast, you can jump into the game at 7 PM ET on December 9th. If you want to know exactly when 12 AM GMT is in your timezone, check the map below. Console players will get access to the game at midnight local time, according to CD Projekt Red.

While Cyberpunk 2077 is not out until December 10, CD Projekt Red has released the first major update ahead of the launch of the game. This update is reportedly 45.2 GB on PS4 and 43.5 GB on the Xbox One. Here are the patch notes which are accessible through the PS4 dashboard.
