Cyberpunk, the most hyped game of 2020, is a surprisingly deep and complex game, boasting multiple endings. In this article, we would answer the question of "How many endings does Cyberpunk 2077 have?" and list out the various steps to get them.

How Many Endings Does Cyberpunk 2077 Have?

There are 5 main endings and 2 hidden endings. The requirements for them differ significantly... and getting the best ending possible is a big challenge. To get all main endings in a single playthrough, you need to complete all side quests, especially those involved Panam and Rogue, as they are vital to those endings.

You need to get over 70% "friendship meter" with Johnny

Furthermore, you need to do all side quests related to Johnny Silverhand and have a good relationship with him (agree with him always in conversations) - this is a hidden stat and is rather hard to measure. If you are not sure about this, pick the following dialogues during the quest 'Chipping In'.
  • "Let's do something about that." Be sure to inscribe Johnny's initials when prompted.
  • "The Guy who Saved My Life"
  • "Nah, fucked the up too."
  • "What do you want from me?"
  • "OK. But as second chances go, this is your last."
  • "You were a real dick in the beginning."
  • "When you said you let down your friends..."
  • "Yeah, I'll call Rogue."

Remember to create a save file before the "point of no return" then come back to it to do the endings. V's romance or life path does not affect the endings.

Which side quests need to be done to unlock all endings?

Panam's route:

Panam ending

To unlock this, you would need to complete the Side Jobs revolving around Panam's Nomad clan, the Aldecaldos, before meeting Hanako.
  • Life During Wartime
  • Riders on the Storm
  • With a Little Help From My Friends
  • Queen of the Highway

Rogue's route (also include the Secret Endings):

Rogue ending

This quest chain would begin after speaking to Johnny during the main quest "Tapeworm".

  • Tapeworm
  • Chippin' In
  • Blistering Love

List of Cyberpunk 2077 endings

The choice is made after talking to Hanako at Embers restaurant and come back to Victor's clinic. You would then have a conversation with Misty and choose the ending during it.

Main Ending 1: V allies with Arasaka

This is the default ending that you can choose without having to do any other side quests. V would accept Hanako's proposal and do what she asks. V would still perish later, in 2 different ways.

Main Ending 2: V commits suicide

Decide the endings with Johnny

Another ending that you can pick without any prior preparation at all. This is the worst ending - after meeting with Misty, V can just destroy the pills, the only thing that prevents him from dying immediately. This ending has no additional scenes or rewards whatsoever.

Main Ending 3: V leaves Night City with Nomads but without Johnny

You can leave Night City with Panam

This ending can be unlocked if you have completed all side quests from Panam and Rogue... or meet the requirements for the secret endings. V would join the Nomads and leave the City while Johnny remains in Cyberspace.

Main Ending 4: V stays in Night City without Johnny

This has the same requirements as ending 3, but V chooses to stay in the city while leaving Johnny in Cyberspace.

Main Ending 5: V gives his body to Johnny and stays in Cyberspace

This also has the same requirements as ending 3 but in this ending, V chooses to give Johnny his body and stay in Cyberspace.

Hidden ending: Attack the Arasaka Tower alone

To unlock this ending, you would need the above requirements and wait a few minutes without making a decision after talking to Misty. Johnny would talk to you and share his plan of raiding Arasaka Tower alone without any support.

These are the steps needed for the hidden ending to trigger:

  • "Think you and Rogue should go."
  • Wait about 5 minutes for Johnny to speak up about his plan.
  • "Let's hear this plan."

If you accept, the ending would begin - remember to save right before getting to the roof if you are going this route, as this special ending does not allow any saves whatsoever. Winning all the fights is fairly challenging, but if you have completed all the quests, your character would be fairly overleveled and can cheese the fight easily.

If you die during the attack, you would see the bad hidden ending. If you survive, however, you would get to see the good version.
