Core Requirements
- desktop_windowsOperating System: 64-bit Windows 10
64-bit Windows 10 or Windows 11 is required.
- memoryDirectX: DirectX 12
DirectX 12 API is required.
- save_altStorage Note: 70 GB available space (SSD Required). Phantom Liberty DLC adds approx. 33GB.
An NVMe SSD is strongly recommended for the best experience due to asset streaming, fast loading, and to mitigate texture pop-in.
settings_applications Optimization Notes:
Upscaling: Supports NVIDIA DLSS (including Super Resolution, Ray Reconstruction, and Frame Generation - DLSS 3/3.5), AMD FSR 2.1, and Intel XeSS 1.1.
Key Settings: Ray Tracing (Reflections, Sun Shadows, Local Shadows, Global Illumination, Path Tracing/Overdrive Mode), Screen Space Reflections Quality, Volumetric Fog Resolution, Crowd Density, Texture Quality, and Level of Detail (LOD) heavily impact performance. Using upscaling is highly recommended for higher settings/resolutions, especially with any form of ray tracing.
Cyberpunk 2077: Map Size and Regions
Night City is a vast and incredibly dense urban open world, divided into six main districts: Watson (run-down, industrial, diverse), Westbrook (upscale, Japantown, corporate plazas), City Center (corporate heart, skyscrapers), Heywood (residential, diverse socio-economic areas, Valentinos turf), Santo Domingo (industrial, working-class, 6th Street turf), and Pacifica (once a resort district, now impoverished and dangerous, Voodoo Boys turf). The surrounding Badlands (desert outskirts) are also explorable. The city is known for its verticality and intricate layout.
Cyberpunk 2077: Post-Launch Content / DLC
The game received numerous patches and significant free updates (like the 2.0 update which overhauled perks, cyberware, AI, and police systems). One major paid story expansion, 'Phantom Liberty,' was released, adding a new district (Dogtown), storyline, characters, weapons, and abilities. CD Projekt Red has stated Phantom Liberty is the only planned major expansion.
Cyberpunk 2077: Game Editions
Available in Standard Edition. A Collector's Edition was released with numerous physical items (V statue, artbook, SteelBook, world compendium, postcards, map, etc.). The game later received a major 2.0 update and the 'Phantom Liberty' expansion, which can be purchased separately or as part of a bundle. An 'Ultimate Edition' bundling the base game and Phantom Liberty was also released.
Cyberpunk 2077: Cross-Platform / Crossplay
Cyberpunk 2077 is a single-player game and does not feature any multiplayer modes, therefore no cross-platform play or cross-progression in that sense. Saves can sometimes be transferred between console generations of the same family (e.g., PS4 to PS5 via specific methods).
Cyberpunk 2077 Other Features & Info
- labelMultiplayer Modes
A standalone multiplayer game set in the Cyberpunk universe was once in development but was later canceled. Cyberpunk 2077 itself is a single-player experience with no multiplayer modes.
- labelUser Interface
Features a diegetic first-person HUD integrated into V's optical implants, displaying health, ammo, mini-map, objectives, and contextual hacking prompts. The inventory, character (skills, cyberware), journal, and map are accessed through a menu system. Braindances offer a unique investigative UI. Extensive use of in-world UIs on screens and advertisements.
- labelSound and Music
Original score composed by Marcin Przybyłowicz, P. T. Adamczyk, and Paul Leonard-Morgan, featuring a blend of electronic, industrial, synthwave, and rock elements reflecting Night City's atmosphere. Features an extensive list of licensed tracks from various artists (real and fictional in-universe bands like Samurai, fronted by Johnny Silverhand) across multiple in-game radio stations covering diverse genres. Sound design emphasizes futuristic tech, distinct weapon sounds, and the cacophony of a bustling, dangerous city.
- labelGraphics and Visuals
Powered by REDengine 4, Cyberpunk 2077 showcases a visually stunning and incredibly dense Night City, renowned for its neon-drenched streets, towering skyscrapers, detailed interiors, and diverse character designs. It features advanced global illumination, reflections, and particle effects. Ray tracing (including Path Tracing in 'Overdrive Mode' on high-end PCs) significantly enhances visual fidelity with realistic lighting, shadows, and reflections, but is extremely demanding.
- labelAccessibility Features
Offers a robust suite of accessibility options, including extensive subtitle customization (size, background, speaker names), control remapping (full on PC), aim assist options, options to reduce camera motion and screen effects, colorblind modes, UI scaling, options for hold vs. toggle for actions, and various gameplay difficulty modifiers.
- labelStory and Setting
Set in Night City, a dense, multi-layered Californian megalopolis in the Free State of Northern California, year 2077. Players control V, a customizable mercenary. After a heist for a powerful biochip called the 'Relic' goes wrong, V's consciousness becomes intertwined with that of the deceased legendary rockerboy and anarchist, Johnny Silverhand. V must find a way to separate themselves from Johnny and cure a terminal condition caused by the chip, navigating a world dominated by mega-corporations (Arasaka, Militech, Kang Tao), violent street gangs (Maelstrom, Valentinos, 6th Street, Voodoo Boys, Animals, Tyger Claws), and opportunistic fixers.
- labelSkills and Upgrades Overview (Attributes, Perks, Cyberware)
Player progression involves investing points into five core Attributes: Body (health, melee), Reflexes (movement, ranged combat), Technical Ability (crafting, tech weapons, explosives), Intelligence (hacking/netrunning, smart weapons), and Cool (stealth, critical hits, dialogue). Each Attribute has associated Perk trees where Perk Points (earned by leveling up) can be spent to unlock active and passive abilities. Cyberware is a crucial upgrade system, allowing V to install various body modifications (e.g., Mantis Blades, Gorilla Arms, Sandevistan O.S., Cyberdecks for hacking, reinforced skeletons, optical implants) that grant new abilities or enhance existing ones. Cyberware is purchased from Ripperdocs and has capacity limits.
- labelTop 5 Weapons (Subjective/Iconic)
- 1. Mantis Blades / Gorilla Arms / Monowire (Arm Cyberware): Iconic melee cyberware offering unique combat styles. 2. Skippy (Iconic Smart Pistol): A talking pistol with unique targeting modes and a distinct personality. 3. Overwatch (Panam's Iconic Sniper Rifle): A powerful sniper rifle with silencing capabilities and enhanced damage. 4. Divided We Stand (Iconic Smart Assault Rifle): Can target multiple enemies simultaneously. 5. Fenrir (Iconic Power SMG): High fire rate with incendiary effect, devastating at close range.
- labelTop 3 Cyberware Implants (Iconic/Powerful)
- 1. Sandevistan Operating System: Allows V to slow down time significantly, granting a massive advantage in combat for precise aiming and maneuvering. 2. Mantis Blades / Gorilla Arms / Projectile Launch System (Arm Cyberware): Powerful cybernetic arm replacements offering unique combat styles (slashing melee, blunt force trauma, or launching explosives/projectiles). 3. Reinforced Tendons / Fortified Ankles (Leg Cyberware): Enables double jump or charged jump, drastically improving V's mobility and exploration capabilities.
