Star-studded. Action-packed. A true graphical showcase. Cyberpunk 2077 offers a glimpse into gaming’s future—and slyly delivers a stirring commentary on the blurred line between technology and humanity. Here’s what you’ll find when you upload yourself into this sci-fi world:

Set in the richly detailed dystopian metropolis Night City, Cyberpunk 2077 puts you in the mercenary boots of V. After a job goes bad, a former legendary rock star (played by Keanu Reeves) who now exists as a digital being gets uploaded to your mind—and things get even rockier from there.

As you tangle with nefarious gang members and underworld ne’er-do-wells, you’ll encounter even more futuristic oddities. The action comes fast and furious, and the combination of first-person perspective and carefully crafted environments creates a stunning world brimming with possibility. Buckle up, Samurai.

Night City is bursting with life—and it’s not just because of the gorgeous graphics (especially realistic with hardware-accelerated ray tracing on Mac with M3 or later). It’s the way neon reflections play upon puddles during nighttime battles, and the breathtaking feeling of vertigo as you ascend Night City’s many skyscrapers. From the glowing Jig-Jig Street markets to sleek corporate penthouses, every district bustles with its own history and microculture.

Morally ambiguous choices shape the narrative, making each playthrough feel uniquely yours. It starts right when you boot up: Would you rather traverse this dystopia as a rough-and-tumble street kid, a dusty nomad from the outlying wasteland, or a corporate operative motivated by greed and self-advancement?

The decisions don’t stop there. Do you repair AI-powered robotaxis that become sentient or let them live their “lives”? Let a dangerous VR religious rite harm believers or protect them from themselves? Who do you side with? Who do you trust?

The game’s combat system is just as flexible. You can go after baddies the old-fashioned way, with scopes and sidearms, but in a world where cybernetic enhancements are as common as clothes, why not have a little fun?

Allocate points to Reflexes, Body, and Cool to play as a street samurai—slinking through shadows, double-jumping onto roofs, and battling foes with a katana. Or focus on Intelligence and Technical Ability to become a netrunner who can remotely shut down cameras or hack enemies to turn them against allies without getting your hands dirty. Feeling more extreme? Upgrade your boring arms with Mantis Blades that make quick work of unsuspecting opponents. The options are endless!
