Commodore is launching a special edition retro computer that brings the aesthetic of Cyberpunk 2077 to your desktop. The Commodore 77 targets collectors and fans of the role-playing game who want a tangible piece of Night City hardware. This release reimagines the classic Commodore 64 Ultimate with a specific gaming tie-in rather than offering a generic retro upgrade.
Special edition retro computer ships with exclusive Arasaka cartridge
The device is a collaboration between Commodore and CD Projekt RED. It runs on an AMD Artix 7 XC7A100T processor that now hits 77MHz. This speed represents a massive boost over the original Commodore 64's 1MHz processor speed. The hardware maintains compatibility with 99% of the 10,000 or so original Commodore 64 games and apps.
- Processor: AMD Artix 7 XC7A100T at 77MHz
- Compatibility: 99% of original Commodore 64 games and apps
- Included Media: Exclusive Arasaka cartridge with demo and original soundtrack
- Price: $377 USD
- Availability: Early 2027
Commodore will ship the unit with an exclusive Arasaka cartridge. This cartridge includes an original demo and an original soundtrack recorded on Commodore 64 hardware. The design aims to feel like a device lifted straight out of the game world. Patrick Mills from CD Projekt RED noted that the tech is chunky and tactile.
You can pre-order the Commodore 77 for 377 USD (around $377). Shipping is expected in early 2027. This pricing sets the cost for the special edition collaboration unit. The release marks a specific intersection of retro computing and modern gaming IP.
We looked at retro hardware collaborations earlier while tracking niche tech releases. The Commodore 77 stands out as a dedicated piece of merchandise for Cyberpunk 2077 enthusiasts. It offers a functional retro computer with specific thematic additions rather than just a shell change.
