The Commodore 64 has officially jacked into Night City. Commodore has teamed up with CD Projekt Red to launch the Commodore 77, a special-edition version of the Commodore 64 Ultimate that gives the classic home computer a distinctly Cyberpunk 2077 makeover.
The Commodore 77 is available to preorder now for $377, with shipping scheduled to begin in early 2027. The price is a deliberate nod to the machine’s name, while the hardware itself represents a rather significant upgrade over the computer that inspired it.
Visually, the Commodore 77 trades the familiar beige exterior for a smoked-grey translucent case, complete with a turquoise glow, graffiti-style markings, neon power light, and a metal plate. The base also features LEDs that can light up during the system’s exclusive demo.
And this isn’t simply a Commodore 64 Ultimate with some Cyberpunk 2077 stickers slapped on it. The machine runs at 77MHz, compared with roughly 1MHz for the original Commodore 64, thanks to a more powerful AMD Artix XC7A100T FPGA. Like other Commodore 64 Ultimate systems, it remains an FPGA-based recreation of the original hardware and is compatible with more than 99.9% of the over 10,000 existing C64 games and peripherals.
Every Commodore 77 comes with an exclusive Cyberpunk 2077 demo created by Polish C64 demo group Arise, with music from chiptune artist LukHash. The non-interactive demo is designed to demonstrate just how far modern FPGA-enhanced C64 hardware can push a machine whose original design dates back to 1982. The demo uses several features exclusive to the Commodore 64 Ultimate hardware, including 24-channel stereo SID audio and a 2MB cartridge chip for storing its code. It will be delivered on a cartridge designed to resemble the shards players encounter throughout Cyberpunk 2077.
The package also includes a custom Cyberpunk 2077-themed BASIC 2.0 boot screen, new menu colors, stickers, pins, themed packaging, and a spiral-bound user guide containing Night City-inspired lore and BASIC programs. For retro gaming fans, this is an interesting continuation of Commodore’s modern revival. The company’s Commodore 64 Ultimate has already established itself as a modern FPGA recreation of the classic machine, while the new Commodore 77 demonstrates that the platform can also serve as a canvas for modern collaborations.
