Don’t go getting scammed, please
GOG havewarned playersabout the risks that come with buying from key reselling sites.
If you do decide to purchase a key for Cyberpunk 2077 or any other game via a third party reseller, remember that there is a risk they’ve been purchased with a stolen card (that means that the game may sooner or later disappear from your account if the owner of the card realizes this and issues a chargeback) or the code you are buying is simply fake.

As an example, they say that the code “9JM6616D211B9FEA” is not a valid GOG store code as theirs are either 18 or 20 characters long. That there fake is 16, to save you the count.

As ever, the safest route is to buy directly from a game retailer, not a site selling codes for you to redeem in another launcher. Naturally, parent company CD Projekt would probably prefer if you choose to buyCyberpunk 2077from their ownGOG store. If that’s not your jam for any reason, you can also find iton Steamand theEpic Games storefor £50/€60/$60. It’s also available on Stadia and your Xboxes or PlayStations.
Back in July, CDPR warned players about abeta key scamgoing around claiming to be granting access to the game. Folks sure do want to get their feet on the streets of Night City very badly.
