The Cyberpunk Trading Card Game (TCG) is coming to retail stores on November 6, 2026, with prerelease events beginning the weekend of October 30. Published by WeirdCo, Welcome to Night City — Retail Edition introduces new cards, exclusive alternate-art collectibles, and organized-play opportunities for players ready to explore the world of Night City.
Whether you’re a new player interested in learning the game or a collector looking for exclusive cards, the upcoming retail launch offers a new opportunity to jump into the Cyberpunk TCG.
What’s New in the Cyberpunk TCG Retail Edition?
Welcome to Night City — Retail Edition builds on the game’s earlier Alpha and Beta releases with additional cards and new collectible artwork. One of the biggest highlights for collectors is the introduction of 31 exclusive alternate-art Iconic Rares, featuring artwork different from the Iconic Rares in the Beta edition.
Here’s what players can expect from the retail release:
- 12 cards per booster pack
- 24 booster packs per display
- 31 exclusive alternate-art Iconic Rares
- New cards for players expanding their collections and building decks
WeirdCo’s retail announcement does not specify a confirmed retail price, so players should check with their preferred game store for pricing and availability.
The differences between the retail and Beta editions are worth noting for collectors. Retail boosters feature new content and alternate artwork, while the upcoming prerelease events will offer a promotional card distinct to the retail launch.
Cyberpunk TCG Prerelease Events Begin October 30
Players won’t have to wait until the official November 6 launch to experience the retail edition. Prerelease events begin the weekend of October 30, 2026, at participating game stores enrolled in the Cyberpunk TCG Organized Play program.
Each prerelease kit includes:
- Six Retail Edition booster packs
- Three additional random Legend cards
- One limited-edition Gorilla Arms promotional card
- A complete set of polyhedral dice
Prerelease events use a sealed-deck format, allowing players to build a deck from the cards supplied for the event instead of bringing a completed deck from home. The format offers newcomers a way to experience the game while giving established players an early opportunity to explore the new cards.
Individual stores determine their own event schedules, registration procedures, and participation fees. Store enrollment in the organized-play program does not guarantee that every location will host a prerelease.

Organized Play Continues After Launch
The retail release is also part of a broader effort to establish a regular organized-play community for the Cyberpunk TCG.
Following the prerelease weekend, participating stores can host Night City Brawl events, giving players opportunities to bring their decks back to the table and continue playing beyond launch weekend. The game’s wider organized-play plans also include additional competitive opportunities through the Night City Gauntlet program.
For new players, these events offer a way to learn the game and meet other players. Collectors and experienced players can use them to explore different deck strategies, test new cards, and become part of the growing Cyberpunk TCG community.
Players should contact their local game store to confirm event availability, registration details, and any participation requirements.
Cyberpunk TCG’s Next Expansion: Edgerunners: Burn Bright
The November retail release is only one part of the game’s planned expansion. WeirdCo has also announced Edgerunners: Burn Bright, the second set for the Cyberpunk TCG, scheduled for spring 2027.
The upcoming expansion draws inspiration from the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime, bringing characters, weapons, cyberware, and scenes from the series into the card game. The set is also expected to introduce new gameplay mechanics and a new chase rarity for collectors.
An exact release date and complete product lineup have not yet been announced, leaving more details to be revealed as the expansion approaches.
For fans of the anime and the wider Cyberpunk universe, Edgerunners: Burn Bright offers another reason to keep an eye on the game’s development.
