Interesting. Thank you, your comment was educational! I'm very glad that I (to the best of my knowledge) will be playing the least censored version in the world. I am grateful for that. I truly enjoy a good experience without censorship.Wiki would say it better than I would.
In other words; it's complicated. In Japanese pornography, you can show the breasts, anus, pubic hair, etc, but not a penis or graphic shots of a vagina. They are, technically, completely nude, just censored in specific places. You can still see full frontal nudity in some Japanese movies, usually women, but only because it's easier to hide that sensitive place on a woman with hair or a merkin. Men don't have the same luxury, but there are instances where it was allowed... it really just comes down to Japan being really picky about what is decent and what isn't, or if something is considered artistic and not pornographic. The general rule is that the more graphic it is, the more likely it's going to be censored, and we know 2077 allows full customization of those particular features in the game, so it was a foregone conclusion at that point.
are you living in Japan? I am living in Japan and am trying to find a way to pre-order internation version, I am using a PC not console.I canceled my Japanese pre order and do one for a US copy. Hope that version isn't censored.

i mean i think i can find a way to buy the international version when the game is out but what about pre-order?You can import a physical copy from overseas or buy a game key from a reseller. Just make sure the key can be activated in Japan or use a VPN to... you know.

yeah, that is why i am trying to ask around for more information.Pre-orders are pretty pointless when you do not get anything extra or when it's not an exclusive limited edition. Also, getting the digital version is probably easier and cheaper. Plus, the boxed version doesn't give you anything extra besides a box.
Either way, you can still pre-order the international version.
On a side note, I actually do not know how the censored version is being handled. Do resellers get the Japanese version which is locked or do they get an international version which works everywhere but, depending on your account's locale, it switches to the local (censored) version. Either way, it's easy to circumvent, but you'll have to double-check first.
This comes to a shock to me, as the Australian version will not be censored, given their history on video games as a whole. What's really weird is that many Japanese games, have a ton of nudity, but some how nudity in Cyberpunk 2077 is not allowed in Japan? Honestly I'm confused by this.
I could definitely be wrong, but I've heard rumors that Japan has started censoring western games in retaliation for all the censorship of Japanese eroge / hentai games and backlash towards them in the west from those cancel-culture types that engage in politically-motivated games "journalism".
