Cyberpunk 2077 fans, torture yourselves with themed hardware.

In an ideal world, we would be playing "Cyberpunk 2077" right now. Hopefully, by then, we would not need a dystopian, all-encompassing future to be buried in, and would instead simply choose to do so. Still, that won't stop Microsoft, Seagate, and Steelseries from releasing cyberpunk 2077 hardware.

The big one of these is the Xbox One X Cyberpunk 2077 Edition, which... It doesn't look that great. It even looks like garbage. The overused dystopian vibe is still there, but it looks like a badly painted version of the previous generation's console, because anyone interested in the Xbox One X should have already picked one up. Perhaps it's to inspire people to paint their own consoles? By the way, it will be released in June 2020.

On the other hand, the controls are at least more interesting (but confession time: because the keyboard and mouse are clearly superior in every way. No, you can't change my mind). But at least aesthetically, they are far superior. The retro-futuristic look is beautifully expressed.

And Steelseries' Cyberpunk 2077 headset series includes the Arctis 1 Wireless for Xbox, Johnny Silver Hand Edition, and Arctis 1 Wireless Netrunner Edition (for us PC users) are available. The game also has several booster packs covering other factions.

To Steelseries' credit, the company knows a thing or two about audio and has been at the top of our best headsets guide for some time now with the Arctis 7. However, it is still something you wear on your head, and you probably won't see it very often, so we're not sure what good the brand name will do.

Finally (at least for now, this gorgeous branding will continue), Seagate has come out with a cyberpunk 2077-themed drive. No, that's right. It's a hard disk drive. Actually, it's not a hard drive, it's a "game drive," available in 2TB and 5TB varieties that will obviously make the game better in the end. There's a splash of yellow. There are numbers and dots, too.

I'm getting nervous about the yellow on Cyberpunk 2077.
