Eight years, plenty of hype, and one breathtaking Keanu Reeves moment later, Cyberpunk 2077 is officially here. The entire situation regarding early reviews has been an odd one.

There are still those who are willing to get up at the crack of dusk and boot up their console to find him for you. People who’ll risk digital life and limb to let you know if Xur is selling a treasure or rubbish. I just so happen to be one of those people. Maybe you’re stuck at work and can only log in later tonight. In that case: Where is Xur?

At a massive 464 pages in girth (that’s a fun word to say), Cyberpunk 2077: The Complete Official Guide should have answers to any predicament you find yourself in within the game.
