The open-world RPG, *Cyberpunk 2077*, is slated to become available on Battle.net. The game’s inclusion on Blizzard’s platform was announced at BlizzCon 2026, marking a significant expansion of the title’s distribution reach.
Game Availability and Editions
According to the announcement, *Cyberpunk 2077* will launch on Battle.net at some point later in 2026. Players will have the option to acquire the core game, the expansion *Phantom Liberty*, or purchase both titles together via the Ultimate Edition. While the announcement did not specify exact dates or pricing structures, the move grants CD PROJEKT RED access to a major, established PC gaming audience.
Strategic Platform Integration
The integration of *Cyberpunk 2077* into Battle.net is notable because the platform has historically been associated with Blizzard’s own intellectual properties, such as *Diablo*, *Overwatch*, and *World of Warcraft*. Industry observers suggest that the significance of this partnership extends beyond simple distribution. By placing the game alongside Blizzard’s existing catalog, the collaboration allows CD PROJEKT RED to reach a different segment of the dedicated PC gaming community.
This strategy is viewed as leveraging the mutual interest in established universes, particularly through crossovers involving *Cyberpunk* and *The Witcher* series, suggesting a deep-rooted partnership rather than a mere platform listing.
Upcoming Crossover Content and Releases
The partnership includes several major planned collaborations and content releases spanning 2027. These include:
- The crossover of *Cyberpunk: Edgerunners* and *Edgerunners 2* content into *Overwatch*, scheduled for 2027.
- *The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt Remastered* is set to debut on Battle.net on September 29.
- The continuation of this content wave includes *Songs of the Past*, which will follow in 2027.
- Furthermore, *Diablo IV* will receive a special Geralt-themed Barbarian skin, which will be linked to qualifying Battle.net purchases of *Songs of the Past*.
In addition to these specific events, CD PROJEKT RED is scheduled to release further *Witcher* material throughout 2027, solidifying the cross-promotion between the two major gaming franchises.
