In 2020 CD Projekt Red partnered with Microsoft to offer $400 limited edition Xbox One X console.

The console included a month of GamePass Ultimate, a copy of Cyberpunk 2077 and access to the first expansion released for the game.

Fast forward to 2023 and The Phantom Liberty DLC has indeed been released. However the DLC was only released on Xbox Series S & X and not on the Xbox One.

So people that bought the limited edition console are rightly pissed that they have seemingly been screwed out of the DLC.

Both Microsoft and CD Projekt Red seem to directing customers who come seeking answers to the other company with neither apparently willing to accept responsibility.

It has been pointed out by both companies that the Microsoft accounts linked to those limited edition Xbox One X consoles do indeed have access to the DLC. They just need to have since upgraded to the Xbox Series S or X.

This isn’t exactly a solution as this isn’t what was promised to them in 2020 when they handed over their $400.

    Lol, yikes. Gotta love it when companies force you into an endless Do loop. Hell, it even happens at my job when dealing with some departments…

    Regardless, Microsoft needs to refund them the cost of the DLC at the very least. It still stumps me why CDPR thought they’d be able to get CP2077 running smoothly on last gen’s consoles when even high range PCs at the time were struggling with it. Publicly traded companies are such dirtbags. I like the game, but this is a slimy move.
