Cyberpunk 2077 is getting a wealth of gaming accessories

A few days ago, it was leaked that a Cyberpunk 2077 themed Xbox One X console would be coming, which was real, but it turns out that the console was only the beginning. In addition to that, a whole slew of Cyberpunk 2077 themed hardware options are coming, some in just a few days.

Of course, the Xbox One X console is the showpiece, it features a wonderful design, even on the underside, if you choose to lay it down. It of course comes with a controller, again themed fantastically, as well as a 1tb hard drive, cables and of course a copy of the game, well a code for it.

The console is expected to release in June, but there is no word on how much it will cost here in Australia, at least as of now.

If you can’t justify the cost of a new console, when the new Xbox Series X is coming this year as well, then you can just look to getting the controller on its own. Designed after Johnny Silverhand, the controller sports a silver left side and a black right, but both sides feature a graffiti print, similar to those of the console.

Button mapping allows you to customize your controller just the way you like it. Plug in any compatible headset with the 3.5mm stereo headset jack, and with Bluetooth technology, play your favorite games on Windows 10 PCs, laptops, and mobile devices

On top of that, there is also an optional Xbox One Controller charging stand to buy. The charging stand features some of the yellow and blue shades from the console, bringing the whole Cyberpunk 2077 color scheme together. It comes with a battery cover, rechargeable battery, and 6-foot power cord.

All that game though and you will need a storage solution for it, more so given we know almost nothing about the size of the install and thankfully Seagate have you covered, with two new hard drive options. Both feature the same design, spotted on the console, controller and stand, though the back of the hard drive features something new. The only difference between the two is the size, with the 2tb being available from Microsoft and the 5tb direct from Seagate, in the past, eBay Australia has been the seller of some of these, which is likely to be the case again.

Finally, we get to the audio part of the presentation, or at least the headphone portion, as SteelSeries are coming to the party with two new variants on their Arctis 1 Wireless range, depending on what you want from it. We reviewed the basic headset earlier in the year, so check that out here.

The first one up is the Johnny Silverhand edition, let me know if you are spotting a theme there, this one though is important as it is wireless with the Xbox One, something the base Arctis 1 does not do. If you want though, you can also use it on your Switch, PC, PlayStation 4 or Android, all wirelessly, or any other device with the 3.5mm cable.

If you want a little more colour, or don’t really own an Xbox One, then you should look to the Netrunner Edition, which is basically the same, except with a different colour scheme, oh and this one will only connect to the Xbox One via a 3.5mm cable, no wireless here.
