Fans have been super eager for the release of Cyberpunk 2077; especially after its launch was pushed back to November 19th. Gameplay glimpses, along with a new trailer and story details were revealed during the first part of the CD Projekt Red’s Night City Wire digital series last month. Unfortunately, this didn’t stop scammers from preying on the eagerness of fans and creating fake emails promising beta access. A statement was released on the official Cyberpunk 2077 Twitter page to debunk the scam emails and warn content creators of fake offers. They were also able to confirm that a beta of the game was not in the works currently.

1/2 If you recently received an email claiming to be granting you beta access to Cyberpunk 2077, it’s not from us. Unfortunately, there have been more of these being sent out over the past few weeks. When we contact you via email, it’ll always come from @ cdprojektred com address

2/2 Same goes for content creators. We always reach out directly from @ cdprojektred com domain. If you are being contacted by a third party claiming to be working with us (an ad agency for example), you can assume it’s not genuine.

Any emails received that did not come from a @cdprojektred.com address are to be assumed illegitimate. It’s unclear what motives were behind the email scam, but a beta seems completely unlikely. This may come as a disappointment to some, but betas don’t really serve as much of a purpose to single-player games. This much was highlighted by other users in response to those questioning the lack of beta. On the bright side, new Cyberpunk 2077 news should be on its way soon, as part two of the Night Wire City digital series is still upcoming. Part one ended with the promise that the next installment would arrive in “just a few weeks.” With it having been about a month since then, one can’t help but feel it quickly approaching.
