The CyberMP mod, an unofficial project currently in development, aims to bring functional multiplayer to the PC version of Cyberpunk 2077. According to reports from La Crème du Gaming, the project focuses on creating a shared open-world experience for Night City, featuring vehicle combat, street racing, and roleplay servers, despite CD Projekt Red canceling its own official multiplayer plans in 2021.
What features does the CyberMP mod include?
CyberMP shifts Cyberpunk 2077 from a single-player narrative experience to a sandbox environment similar to GTA Online. Developers have built a custom server infrastructure designed to support free-roam activities, including player-versus-player combat, improvised heists, and synchronized street races. Data from the mod’s development logs indicates the team has addressed approximately 200 bugs to improve the stability of character and vehicle synchronization.
Unlike the base game, CyberMP introduces a dedicated anti-cheat system and a text-based chat overlay, features necessary for maintaining order in a multi-user environment.
How does CyberMP compare to official development plans?
The existence of CyberMP highlights a divergence between community-driven projects and official studio strategy. While CD Projekt Red officially abandoned its standalone multiplayer project in 2021 to focus on core game stability and the development of Project Orion, modders have chosen to leverage the existing Night City assets to build their own framework. La Crème du Gaming notes that while the official game remains strictly single-player, CyberMP allows for collaborative gameplay, such as one player driving the Basilisk tank while another operates the turret.
What are the technical limitations for players?
The mod is strictly limited to the PC version of the game and will not support PlayStation or Xbox consoles. Players should expect a high hardware demand, as the mod requires real-time synchronization of multiple entities across a single server. According to the development team, access is currently restricted to a closed beta phase via their official Discord, with a full public release not yet confirmed.
