Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition
"Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world, story-driven action role-playing game from CD PROJEKT RED set in the megalopolis of Night City, where you play as cyber-enhanced mercenary V fighting for survival against the ruthlessness of megacorporations and street gangs."
Overview & Story
Set in an alternate-history 2077 where megacorporations rule above federal law following decades of economic collapse and global corporate wars, Cyberpunk 2077 takes place in Night City, an independent Californian megalopolis defined by four historical visual eras: Entropism, Kitsch, Neomilitarism, and Neokitsch. You play as V (Vincent or Valerie), an ambitious mercenary whose voice, appearance, cybernetics, and background are customizable across three Lifepaths (Nomad, Streetkid, Corpo). After a high-stakes heist at Konpeki Plaza goes catastrophically wrong, V is forced to slot an experimental Arasaka biochip—the Relic—into their neural socket. The chip contains the digitized engram of legendary rockerboy terrorist Johnny Silverhand (Keanu Reeves), whose psyche is progressively overwriting V's brain. In the acclaimed spy-thriller expansion Phantom Liberty, V is contacted by prodigy netrunner Songbird (Song So Mi) when Space Force One crashes in the walled-off combat zone of Dogtown, partnering with veteran FIA sleeper agent Solomon Reed (Idris Elba) to rescue NUSA President Rosalind Myers in a web of espionage that unlocks an alternate fifth ending.

Is Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer or co-op?
No. Cyberpunk 2077 is strictly a single-player action RPG. While CD PROJEKT RED explored a standalone multiplayer project during early R&D prior to 2021, those plans were shelved in favor of single-player expansions and the upcoming Unreal Engine 5 sequel (Project Orion).
Does Cyberpunk 2077 support cross-progression across PC, Mac, PS5, Xbox, and Switch 2?
Yes. By signing into your CD PROJEKT RED Account inside the main menu or Load Game screen, your latest Manual, Auto, and Quick saves are automatically synced to the cloud and can be loaded across PC, Mac, PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Note: A save created with Phantom Liberty installed cannot be loaded on a base-game-only installation.
Where can I explore an interactive map of Night City and Dogtown?
The two best interactive maps are the Official Piggyback Interactive Map (co-developed with CD PROJEKT RED featuring a 4.2-gigapixel satellite view and 190+ hidden gems) and the MapGenie Cyberpunk 2077 Map (which includes screenshot pop-ups and collectible progress tracking).
Where can I plan character builds and perk trees before spending points in-game?
You can plan your character's Attributes, Perks, and Phantom Liberty Relic skills directly in your browser using the Official Cyberpunk 2077 Build Planner on Cyberpunk.net. In-game, Perk points can be refunded and reassigned for free at any time outside of combat, while Attribute points can only be reset once per playthrough.

Since Update 2.0, Cyberpunk 2077 requires a 64-bit Windows 10 OS, 70 GB SSD (HDDs are no longer supported), 12 GB RAM, an Intel Core i7-6700 / AMD Ryzen 5 1600 CPU, and a GTX 1060 6GB / Radeon RX 580 8GB / Intel Arc A380 GPU for 1080p Low at 30 FPS.

Patch 2.31 (Sept 2025) upgraded AutoDrive to overtake traffic and ignore red lights, unlocked gender-neutral Photo Mode poses, and added a vignette toggle.
How long does it take to beat Cyberpunk 2077?
According to player data on HowLongToBeat, completing the main story takes an average of 26 hours, playing the main story plus major side jobs takes 63 hours, and achieving 100% completion across Night City and Phantom Liberty takes roughly 109 to 115 hours.
When can you start the Phantom Liberty expansion in a playthrough?
In a standard playthrough, Phantom Liberty unlocks during Act 2 immediately after completing the Voodoo Boys questline in Pacifica (specifically the Main Job Transmission), when Songbird contacts V to begin Dog Eat Dog. Alternatively, when starting a New Game from the main menu, you can choose 'Skip Ahead to Phantom Liberty', which starts V at Level 15 with pre-allocated attributes right at the beginning of the expansion.
How do you unlock the secret ending ('Don't Fear the Reaper')?
To unlock the secret solo assault on Arasaka Tower without risking Panam's or Rogue's lives, you must select three specific dialogue responses during the Side Job Chippin' In at Johnny Silverhand's unmarked grave in the Oil Fields: 'Nah, fucked that up too.', 'What do you want from me?', and 'OK. But as second chances go, this is your last.' Then, during the final rooftop decision in Nocturne Op55N1, look at Johnny and wait roughly five real-time minutes without picking an option until Johnny proposes storming Arasaka Tower alone.
Will there be another DLC after Phantom Liberty, or a Cyberpunk 2077 sequel?
There will be no additional paid DLC expansions for Cyberpunk 2077; Phantom Liberty is the sole expansion. However, CD PROJEKT RED is actively developing a full-scale sequel (codenamed Project Orion / Cyberpunk 2) built on Unreal Engine 5, alongside the upcoming Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 anime.
How do you install mods on Cyberpunk 2077?
Mods are supported on the Windows PC version (Steam, GOG, Epic). Players can use CD PROJEKT RED's official REDmod toolkit or download community mods from Nexus Mods using the Vortex Mod Manager or manual installation. Most advanced PC mods require installing foundational community frameworks documented on the REDModding Wiki, including Cyber Engine Tweaks (CET), RED4ext, and ArchiveXL.
