The Xbox Series X (or at least a prototype of the system) has begun to service in various YouTube and social media footage recently, and now the Cyberpunk 2077 dev team has also been showing it off!
The studio shared images (and video) of Senior Level Designer Miles Tost getting hands-on with an "exclusive sneak-peek unit" over the weekend, which Miles reportedly stated was smaller than he expected:
If you want to check out more in-person glimpses of the Xbox Series X, Microsoft Marketing Communications & Social Lead Maxi Gräff also recently showed it off on Twitter, celebrating the Series X console winning a "Most Wanted Tech" award as part of Gamescom 2020.
As for Cyberpunk 2077, you'll be able to play the game via backwards compatibility on Xbox Series X when the game releases on the 19th of November, which will reportedly "look better than on current-gen." The team has also confirmed that it's working on a free, "more robust update" to enhance the game's visuals for next-gen down the line.
Are you even more excited for the Xbox Series X after seeing this? Let us know in the comments!

Oh man I’m so jealous and excited. The sheer combination of the most anticipated things this year. 😍
On a side note, I think the fact that Cyberpunk is coming to next gen consoles day 1 is more due to the x86 compatibility layer and not the amazing backcompat tech that Microsoft has built in last 2-3 years for titles that date back to the original Xbox.
I’ll be getting this on Series X. I know, technically, it’s current gen game......but everything about this game screams next gen.
I know the design has had its fair share of criticism but I really quite like it...
@eggsbox The design is actually very impressive, efficient and dense if you have a slight technical background. It actually needs just one fan to rotating slowly without any noise to maintain that 12tf performance.
Wait till you compare this IRL with the other console without it’s 2 massive white removable covers.
But is it a real one? Many of the units shown for devs and influencers from Gamescom were dummy units. All the ports at the back were blocked and nothing worked.
@Menchi I’m sure they are going to release a “Captured on Series X” gameplay like they have done for the Haven gameplay at Gamescom. But if you really want to see the device in its full naked glory, go watch the Series X hardware breakdown full disclosure that have been revealed way back in February.
@Z3u5000 yes it certainly seems to have been designed around the notion of keeping it quiet. X1 and PS4 were definitely quite noisy so that’s great news.
It also looks like Sony have used innovative tech for cooling purposes. I even heard they were looking at liquid metal cooling but not sure of the truth in that. Will be interesting to see how they’ve handled it v’s Microsoft...
@eggsbox Oh dude people have been reporting their PS4 Pro consoles sounding like a jet engine when running true open world games like RDR2 even if it can only run at checkerboard 4K. 😂
Can't wait to see this one running on Xbox Series X!
Love the simplicity of it, I'm sure they're going to work some magic with the new boxes.
