Whether you blaze through Cyberpunk 2077‘s main story or take your time and complete as many side missions as possible, all roads through CD Projekt Red’s incredibly controversial game lead to one of several possible endings. Yes, there are multiple endings in Cyberpunk 2077, but you’re certainly forgiven if your first run through the game didn’t leave you with the impression that there are different conclusions. In fact, most of Cyberpunk 2077‘s endings aren’t even accessible to those who just fought all the game’s bugs and blazed through the main story. Here’s what we know about Cyberpunk 2077‘s endings, what they mean, and how you can unlock them: In the case of Cyberpunk 2077, the “point of no return” mission is called Nocturne OP55N1. It’s the one that requires you to “Meet Hanako at Embers.” Once you enter Embers, you’re pretty much on a direct path towards the final moments. Why does this matter? Well, it’s technically possible to see all of the game’s endings through one playthrough (or at least the major variations of them), but only if you complete the necessary open-world objectives and create a save that you can return to before the point of no return. Once you reach the point of no return, you’ll be required to make choices that ultimately determine which ending you see.

Does Cyberpunk 2077 Have a New Game+ Mode?

The answer to this question falls somewhere between yes and no with the answer ultimately leaning closer towards “no.” When you reach the point of no return mission, Cyberpunk 2077 creates a save that you’ll return to once you’ve seen whichever ending you pursue. This will allow you to continue to explore the game’s open-world. While it’s possible to unlock new items from that point based on which ending you saw, Cyberpunk 2077 doesn’t offer any other traditional New Game+ features. Like most things related to Cyberpunk, we’re waiting to see if a patch will expand the post-game a bit more.

How Many Endings Are There in Cyberpunk 2077?

Based on the information that’s currently available, there appear to be six endings in Cyberpunk 2077.

Cyberpunk 2077 Ending 1 – Where Is My Mind?

Cyberpunk 2077‘s first ending is available to all players regardless of what they did leading up to the point of no return, but it is possible to see a slight variation on this ending based on whether or not you saved Takemura during the Search and Destroy mission. Either way, here’s how to trigger this conclusion:

  1. During the Nocturne Op55N1 mission, talk to Johnny Silverhand on the balcony.
  2. Select the dialog option: “Think trusting Arasaka’s risky but worth it.”
  3. Choose to take the Omega Blockers
  4. Complete Last Carress, Totalimmortal, and Where Is My Mind? At this point, you have the option of either implanting your memory into Mikoshi in the hopes that a better solution can eventually be found or returning to Earth to live out your last months. Both choices will result in slightly different final scenes that involve V either undergoing the transfer procedure or going home. As Cyberpunk 2077‘s apparent “default” ending, this conclusion is fittingly ambiguous. You’ve spent the entire game being told that there’s likely no way to save yourself from the damage that the Relic has done, and that’s pretty much what happens here. Yet, the nature of this ending seems to strongly suggest that you should pursue other options and that this conclusion is, in many ways, the path of least resistance from both a mechanical and narrative standpoint.

Cyberpunk 2077 Ending 2 – All Along the Watchtower

One of Cyberpunk 2077‘s more complete and interesting endings isn’t that difficult to find, but it will require you to complete the right sidequests. Here’s what you need to do: The heart of this ending involves Alt separating Johnny’s implant from V’s mind but informing V that he will still die in 6 months if he chooses to return to the world in his own body. Alternatively, he could give his body to Johnny and let Johnny live out his life without the fear of imminent death. More on that in a bit. In this ending, V decides to return to his body and enjoy his remaining days. It ultimately sees Panam help V sneak out of Night City as part of their search for a long-term solution to V’s problem, but it’s possible for this ending to include an additional scene with V’s romantic partner (if you have one).

Cyberpunk 2077 Ending 3 – New Dawn Fades

This ending is largely identical to the “All Along the Watchtower” scenario, but it features a significant twist at the end. If you want to see it, just follow these steps: As you can see, this ending still involves V learning that he eventually will die if he returns to his body. This time, though, he lets Silverhand take over his body rather than live out his life on a timer. According to Alt, the results of the extraction process mean that Silverhand can live in V’s body without fear of automatically dying in about six months. The climactic moments of this ending see Johnny buy his new friend a guitar, visit V’s “grave,” and take a bus out of town. While its tone is certainly a bit depressing, it’s kind of a win for players who emotionally sided with Johnny Silverhand as Silverhand not only gets to live again but seems to have grown somewhat due to his adventures with V.

Cyberpunk 207 Ending 4 – Path of Glory

This ending is strange (but satisfying) as it’s basically a combination of two of the other endings with a fascinating deviation. Here’s what you need to do to see it: This ending will also give you the option to let Johnny takeover V’s body, but choosing that option seemingly triggers the “New Dawn Fades” ending. Narratively, this path basically sees V opt to stay in Night City as a legendary mercenary rather than leave it all behind in search of a cure or at least some slightly more peaceful final days. It’s a fitting ending for anyone who saw their V as someone who ultimately sought status.

Cyberpunk 2077 Ending 5 – Suicide

Well, this is certainly the bleakest Cyberpunk 2077 ending. It’s actually more of an “Easter egg” finale than a proper conclusion. Regardless, here’s how you trigger it if you’re so inclined to do so: The implication of this ending is that V shoots himself and essentially kills Johnny Silverhand in the process. There’s not even a final mission associated with this ending. As we said, it’s a real downer.

Cyberpunk 2077 Ending 6 -The Secret Ending

Before we dive into Cyberpunk 2077‘s weirdest and most complicated ending, we should share a disclaimer that the specifics of this finale are still being worked out and that it’s possible the information we have on it is incomplete. With that out of the way, there is a secret Cyberpunk 2077 ending involving Johnny Silverhand and a unique final mission. Based on what we currently know, here’s how you can trigger it.
