Cyberpunk 2077's launch was fraught with controversy due to technical issues and broken promises. The controversies at launch were compounded when Sony officially removed Cyberpunk 2077 from the PS4's storefront while CD Projekt Red improved the game. Since then, CD Projekt Red has made significant improvements to the stability of Cyberpunk 2077 and returned it to PS4. It's only fitting that it now takes the next step, with a new piece of leaked box art hinting that Cyberpunk 2077 could arrive on PS5 sooner rather than later.
The leak comes from Twitter account PlayStationSize, an account that scrapes information from the PlayStation Store and shares it online. A large part of what the account shares is box and key art from each games' storefront profile. Needless to say, it was a surprise when the account posted the cover art for what they describe as Cyberpunk 2077 for PS5 on Sunday morning. It was described as the native PS5 version of Cyberpunk 2077, with no other information made available.

While the account doesn't have any other information about Cyberpunk 2077 coming to PS5, they do make a guess. They guessed that Cyberpunk 2077 on PS5 could be released anywhere from mid-February to early March. Since the account is experienced at scraping data early, it's possible they have reliable insight into when the game will actually be released. As in, if the cover art has been posted now, then the game typically follows this many weeks later. However, until an official announcement is made, fans should be skeptical.
The cover art is notably unique. The PS4 and Xbox One cover art features Cyberpunk 2077's protagonist with their front facing forward and a pistol pointed into the air.
