Cyberpunk 2077 Sequel: Will Multiplayer Finally Become a Reality?
Cyberpunk 2077 continues to receive updates from CD Projekt RED, proving that the developers are still deeply invested in keeping this futuristic RPG alive and polished. This is something few fans expected back when the game first launched in such a rocky state.
Alongside these updates, one of the hottest topics in the community right now is the highly anticipated sequel. While CD Projekt RED’s main focus remains on The Witcher 4, a smaller dedicated team is quietly shaping what’s currently known as Project Orion.
At this stage, very little is officially confirmed about Project Orion. The studio has been careful about sharing details, but speculation is running wild—especially about one feature fans have been asking for since day one: multiplayer.
Does Cyberpunk 2077 Have Multiplayer?
No, Cyberpunk 2077 does not include a multiplayer mode. However, the possibility of seeing one in the sequel has sparked major excitement within the gaming community.
That speculation only intensified when CD Projekt RED posted a job listing for a Lead Network Engineer. According to the description, the role involves designing and implementing network architecture and online systems. While not a direct confirmation, it does suggest that multiplayer elements could be on the horizon.
Some argue this job may be tied to the multiplayer-focused Witcher spin-off, codenamed Project Sirius, which is being developed with the help of Molasses Flood. Still, the listing being directly under CD Projekt RED’s umbrella has left many wondering if it actually relates to Cyberpunk’s future.
What Fans Are Saying
The community is split on the idea of multiplayer in Cyberpunk. Some feel the game’s single-player immersion is strong enough on its own, while others believe Night City is a playground begging to be shared with friends.
One fan questioned, “Why would we need multiplayer at all?” suggesting the single-player story already offers plenty of depth. On the other hand, another player countered that exploring Night City with friends could unlock unique, chaotic scenarios that only multiplayer could provide.
Other fans proposed fun possibilities such as mini-games, co-op missions, photo poses, and dances—features that could give new life to the massive open-world map. As one user put it, “Sometimes the game feels empty, and multiplayer could fill that gap.”
Cyberpunk Multiplayer Mod: A Sneak Peek
While an official multiplayer mode isn’t available, PC players have already gotten a taste through a fan-made mod called CyberMP. Still in development, the mod entered beta testing earlier this year, allowing small-scale co-op experiences inside Night City.
The progress of this project can be tracked through the creators’ community channels, though it remains an unofficial workaround rather than a polished, studio-backed feature.
What to Expect Next
For now, Cyberpunk 2077 remains a single-player experience, but all signs suggest that CD Projekt RED is at least exploring the possibility of multiplayer in the future. Whether that happens in Project Orion or another title remains to be seen, but fans are watching closely.
Until then, players can enjoy the ongoing updates that continue to refine Cyberpunk 2077, while holding out hope that the sequel might finally bring the multiplayer Night City adventure they’ve been dreaming of.
