CD Projekt Red has promised fans Cyberpunk 2077 will get some form of multiplayer, but details so far have been sparse. The launch of Cyberpunk 2077 was rocky, to say the least, and CD Projekt Red has faced many issues in the meantime, from hacks and data leaks to class-action lawsuits. This may leave fans feeling uneasy about the developer's ability to deliver a Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer mode.

CD Projekt Red has released some information about multiplayer itself, and more details have been leaked by anonymous data miners. What can players expect from Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer, and when will it be launched? Here’s a rundown of all the information that’s been released so far.

In January 2021, anonymous data miners reportedly leaked information about two multiplayer modes for Cyberpunk 2077. One appears to be a "Heists" mode, in which multiple players can cooperate to complete quests, similar to single-player quests in the main game. The other looks like a "Deathmatch" mode, though most of the information about this one was limited to text players would see on the kill feed. The supposed leaked files also contained information about peer-to-peer connections, a four-class selection system, and other dedicated multiplayer functions.

What To Expect From Cyberpunk 2077 Multiplayer Night City

The official information released by CD Projekt Red about Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer has been fairly sparse. Back in November 2020, it was announced that Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer will be a standalone game, not a mode within the main game. Fans needn’t worry about purchasing a separate product, though, because CD Projekt Red has confirmed multiplayer will be free.

Despite the data leak, CD Projekt Red still has not set a release date for Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer. In a January 2020 CD Projekt investor call, the company stated Cyberpunk 2077's multiplayer would not be ready until "after 2021." This means players could see the multiplayer release by early 2022, though the many issues faced by CD Projekt Red since the release of Cyberpunk 2077 - including hacks, data leaks, and multiple class-action lawsuits - might delay that launch a little further.

Overall, the multiplayer version of Cyberpunk 2077 is still somewhat shrouded in mystery. CD Projekt Red hasn't released many concrete details, and the release window is very vague. The developer has been struggling to release patches and bug fixes on time, so it seems likely fans could be waiting quite a while for Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer to launch.
