Cyberpunk 2077

Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world action role-playing game developed by CD Projekt Red, released in December 2020 for multiple platforms. Set in Night City, a sprawling metropolis controlled by megacorporations, the game follows a customizable protagonist navigating a world of advanced technology, cybernetic augmentation, and moral ambiguity. Players undertake missions for various factions while pursuing the main storyline involving a mysterious AI construct called Johnny Silverhand.

The game draws heavily from the tabletop RPG Cyberpunk 2020 and explores transhumanist themes, corporate exploitation, and the tension between individual agency and systemic control. Its branching narrative structure allows multiple playstyles and endings based on player choices and character builds. Despite critical acclaim for its world-building, storytelling, and artistic direction, the initial launch was marked by significant technical issues on console platforms, leading to extensive post-launch patches and updates that substantially improved stability and performance.
