Cyberpunk TCG is CD Projekt Red’s first officially licensed trading card game, built by a first-time studio and already the most funded trading card game in Kickstarter history, closing at $12.3 million from nearly 16,000 backers.

Between the Kickstarter-only Beta wave and the general Welcome to Night City retail launch on November 6, 2026, there are four different ways to buy in, and each one hands you a different pile of cardboard. Here’s exactly what’s inside each one.
Cyberpunk TCG Pre-Release Beta Event Kit
This is the entry ticket used for in-store Beta Events, held between September 10 and 20, 2026. For about $34.99, each kit includes six Welcome to Night City Beta Booster Packs, three additional random Legend cards pulled from a pool of ten characters to round out your deck, an exclusive Mantis Blades promo card carrying a distinctive Beta symbol, and a full set of Cyberpunk TCG polyhedral dice (D4, D6, D8, D10, D12, D20). Players built a sealed deck from what was in the box, played it out in a same-day tournament, and kept the deck afterward. The events themselves have wrapped, but leftover kits are still turning up at retailers and on the secondary market for anyone who wants a taste of the Beta cardpool.
Cyberpunk TCG Beta Booster Box – Welcome to Night City
This is the big Kickstarter-exclusive prize: a 36-pack display that only reached backers in August 2026 and was never sold at retail. Each pack holds 12 randomized cards from the Beta print run, so a full box hands you 432 cards to build multiple decks or chase Beta-specific pulls. Because it never hit stores, it’s the closest thing this game has to a limited first printing, and the secondary market prices that in: sealed boxes were listed on eBay for $249.99 and $260.00 as of late September 2026, working out to roughly $7 a pack.
Cyberpunk TCG Retail Booster Box – Welcome to Night City
This is the flagship product of the general retail launch on November 6, 2026. A box holds 24 packs at $114.99, or $4.99 for a single pack on its own, each with 12 randomized cards, plus exclusive Alt-Art Iconic Rares mixed into the print run that the Beta boxes don’t carry. Per pack, that works out to about $4.79, noticeably cheaper than the Beta box’s secondary-market price. If your local store runs a Pre-Release event the weekend of October 30, you’ll also find a separate Welcome to Night City Pre-Release Kit there: six retail packs, three random Legends, a foil-stamped Gorilla Arms promo, and dice, similar in structure to the Beta Event Kit above but built on retail cards.
Cyberpunk TCG Starter Deck
For players who just want a ready-to-play deck, Starter Decks run $26.97 to $29.99 and each comes with a full 40-card deck, three Legends, and a set of six dice, no packs or shuffling loose singles required. Two are available: Embracing Power, built around the Arasaka family (Saburo Arasaka, Yorinobu Arasaka, and their bodyguard Goro Takemura) for a big, overpowering playstyle with cards like Mantis Blades and Sandevistan, and The Heist, built around V, Viktor Vektor, and Jackie Welles for a sneaky, low-Street-Cred game leaning on Quickhacks and disruption. Both shipped to Kickstarter backers in August 2026 ahead of the November 6 retail launch.
Should you buy Beta or Retail?
For pure gameplay, Retail is the safer buy. The official errata page lists only one functional change between the two print runs (a misprinted Eddie-sell tag on the Beta version of Johnny Silverhand: Never Stop Fighting, since fixed), and the game’s official card-editions guide confirms Beta and Retail copies of the same card share one three-copy limit, so two Beta copies and one Retail copy already fill a full playset.
The one real argument for Beta is scarcity: it was a Kickstarter-exclusive print that will never be restocked, so if owning a numbered piece of the most-funded TCG Kickstarter in history matters more to you than value per pack, that premium is what you’re paying for. Everyone else, especially first-time players, comes out ahead waiting for the November 6 Retail launch.
