OSLO,
Norway, Jan. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Norwegian
browser company Opera [NASDAQ: OPRA] is unveiling the Opera GX hub,
a new feature designed to blend the universes of its users'
favorite games directly into the browser. Starting with the
Cyberpunk 2077 hub, this new addition to Opera GX brings players
closer to their favorite titles than ever before, making it
possible for them to use the web while never leaving Night City.
They can now browse with the full Cyberpunk 2077 soundtrack playing
in the background, have webpages displayed in the dystopian
Cyberpunk 2077 style, and get direct access to streams, modding
guides, news from the game and much more – all within the
browser.
The Cyberpunk 2077 hub in Opera GX is the first of its kind.
It's a new integrated feature that connects the universe of a game
with the user's browsing experience. It also gives fans access to
essential game-related content and tools, making it easier for them
to stay up-to-date with the game while browsing the web within a
single space. This collaboration with CD PROJEKT RED is just the
beginning: Opera GX will be working on more immersive game
integrations in the future.
This is not the first collaboration between Opera GX and CD
PROJEKT RED. Last year Opera GX released a customizable Cyberpunk
2077 mod, which has been downloaded over 1.3 million times. Now,
Opera GX is taking it a step further by offering a feature no other
browser has: full integration with the Cyberpunk 2077 universe,
allowing users to stay within it while browsing.
"The feedback from the Cyberpunk 2077 mod made it clear that
players wanted an even deeper connection between their games and
the browser. That's why we decided to set a precedent and give fans
what they really want: an immersive experience with the games they
love. This new hub merges game features directly with Opera GX so
that players can stay in the game's world even while
browsing," said Maciej
Kocemba, Product Director at Opera GX.
The Cyberpunk 2077 hub is free to all Opera GX users. Accessible
from the GX Corner home page, the hub brings a range of
game-focused features, including:
- Videos & Music: Stay up-to-date with the latest official
Cyberpunk 2077 news, developer streams, and videos. Access Night
City vibes with the official scores from the base game and the
Phantom Liberty expansion, plus official Cyberpunk
2077 playlists and ambient sounds.
- Explore Night City: Get access to the world map and click on
the images to instantly see the location in Night City on an
interactive map – perfect for players who love taking in-game
photos.
- Game Booklet: The Cyberpunk 2077 hub includes the Game Booklet
created for both newcomers and veterans of Night City alike. You
can find fundamental information to get you up to speed, take a
deep dive into the game thanks to interviews and insight from
developers, and more.
- Build Planner: Plan new builds or peruse guides created by
CD PROJEKT RED to enhance your character.
- Modding & Cosplay: Get tips on modding Cyberpunk 2077
and find the necessary files to cosplay as your favorite
characters.
The Cyberpunk 2077 hub is available now exclusively on Opera GX
through the GX.store. Download the Mod and get the hub
automatically.
