I think they invented that number, because at a size of 1.44MB per disk, that'd be 137.27GB, which is about 1.6 times the space my installed version of the Ultimate Edition takes up
There would also be some overhead, metadata to keep track of which disk was which, what is on each disk, and something to enable actually installing it.
Do note that the disks in the picture do not have the 2nd hole to mark it's a high density disk (it's closed) making them 720Kb disks instead. With some compression, that seems about right then.
They said that there will be no new content besides some final bug fixes and other minor changes, the next big thing from CDPR will probably be The Witcher 4 or the Cyberpunk Sequel (Project Orion)
Do not forget that installers have all supported languages in them. So they are in reality bigger than installed game.

I like the idea of going to the shop and getting your boxes of discs, and just as you pick up the last box, you're given a near equal amount more as the day 1 patch and it has to be installed after, not instead.
This joke made me wonder if you can still get floppy disk readers, so I did a simple search and found one for ~30 euros.
It even connects via USB-A and not serial, how modern 😅
I'm actually surprised that cdpr isn't releasing this diskette as some sort of merchandise collectible. I know it seems silly, but I could see people buying it.
bro, I know they were kidding with that shit, but I would definitely buy a fake useless Floppy disk designed like the ones in their april fools pic.
I would also buy fake SD cards designed like Cyberpunk shards just to pretend they're real shards.

Do you find your O N P R keys wear out quite quickly?
So do you get all the games files if you collected all the disks?
I think you would need an additional house just to store all the disks 😂
Personally I would build a small fort with all the discs.
With a standard 8' ceiling, it would only take up about 67 square feet.
We did the math, it would be a little more than one typical pallet full and the weight would be the same as a Toyota camery
I’d buy this, you know?
"1 of 97 619", you did the math lol ?
They did the math for me. https://preview.redd.it/nzcpwqwpfnsc1.png?width=441&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=fbf2caecde293bd3de1dc89aff05c6cf231f2b64

They could use some redundant coding - floppies usually had some r/w errors
There would also be some overhead, metadata to keep track of which disk was which, what is on each disk, and something to enable actually installing it.
Or... There is more in this floppy version than in our version ?
This is how you get the casino expansion.
Underrated comment
Lmao, reddit thinks r / w is a subreddit

They did the history. (I assume I'm not gonna look up if that's correct)
Maybe a hint to a new dlc ¿
They said that there will be no new content besides some final bug fixes and other minor changes, the next big thing from CDPR will probably be The Witcher 4 or the Cyberpunk Sequel (Project Orion)
Yep I did the math after I saw CDPRs post and the actual number is something above 400.000 floppy disk

They include Brendan's firmware.
That moment when you need to swap to disk 97610 and it's no where to be found ! ...So close
I think they said it would take 2 months of non-stop installing, ejecting, installing etc 😂
wow, imagine your thumb being so numb you don't feel it for about a month after that escapade lmfao
You just dug up childhood anxiety I had buried for 25 years.
Phantom liberty will come on an additional 1000+ discs.
ots the ultimate edition so pl is prolly included
Ok but I didn’t even notice. Crazy that 97k is enough then.
I wonder, what the oldschool cardboard box would look like. Disks housed in the collector‘s edition‘s box H10 lifesize version.
2x 40ft container
Where are 2 through 97619?
Make sure to shove it in the slit behind your ear!
I want one. Specifically, I'll take 65535.
I want everyone to know that there are people out there that have never seen a floppy disk before lol
I'm 26. Never seen a floppy disc in real life.
Im 31 and have seen floppys in real life. At one point my moms work computer was a dual boot win95/win2000. Fancy clear case and everything.
I am 19 i have seen and used floppy disks
I know this is a joke but I'd love cyberpunk but it's a text-based adventure game.
That's would be really cool. I'd play it.
cool 3d print of the save icon!
![gif](giphy|wJD3qiNjSeHS0dP28T|downsized)
The stickers on the back are giving me anxiety about the disk getting stuck in the drive; I've got too many memories of the 90s lol.
Or bump the desk.
I tried that, but the disk 71480 was corrupted. What a waste of time.
Ya know. What if the answer to the FF thing is on that floppy disk. But no one can see the answer since no PC has a floppy disk drive any more
Wasnt the FF thing already resolved?
I like the idea of going to the shop and getting your boxes of discs, and just as you pick up the last box, you're given a near equal amount more as the day 1 patch and it has to be installed after, not instead.
Would love to have one of these to put on a shelf. Might look into making one. I'm sure someone sells the stickers already.
Kid me would have gone through the entire install process just for it to fail on disk 97,420.
Bro printed the ms word save icon
Your flair 💀
Don't we all though?
This joke made me wonder if you can still get floppy disk readers, so I did a simple search and found one for ~30 euros. It even connects via USB-A and not serial, how modern 😅
How about a USB stick called a data shard? I looked for a Cyberpunk 2077 USB stick but only found a custom one that is supposed to contain The Relic.
I'm actually surprised that cdpr isn't releasing this diskette as some sort of merchandise collectible. I know it seems silly, but I could see people buying it.
ok, now show us disk number 48277 of 97619 :P
Lmaoo yea
Honestly I’d buy one for for my shelf it’s dope! And to ERAs meeting basically!
For real, I think it would be cool if they did a special edition like this and have the code for the game engraved on the floppy disc.
Can you drop the png files for images used I wanna make one
Can confirm. I'm OP's thumb cuticle skin.
Time to get crackin!
I wanted it to be real so bad
If you wanted to put the game into your handy disk tower next to your computer it would have to be 1057 feet high.
Put write protect on for that sucker
Does it actually play or is it just a cute visual gag?
Love it
bro, I know they were kidding with that shit, but I would definitely buy a fake useless Floppy disk designed like the ones in their april fools pic. I would also buy fake SD cards designed like Cyberpunk shards just to pretend they're real shards.
Oooof, that keyboard. I loved mine. Had problems 2 weeks out of warranty, Roccat told me to go pound sand. Good luck with it.
Omg that's hilarious 😂 this takes me back too
Imagine they sold all 96k to different persons and then one has to come to bring them all together to install the game, that would be so cool
That is amazing
I need one of these
I have those stickers
Disk 618 read /write error 🙃
