Similar to the base game, Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty features multiple finales. Here, the decisions players take during the point of no return checkpoints matter as they trigger an ending that brings V’s story to a conclusion. Here are all the endings explained and info on how to get them.

Cyberpunk 2077 gives players a plethora of options to choose from, thanks to its narrative’s branching nature. The game remembers your actions as you make them, from the most morally ambiguous to the most heinous, and each playthrough ends differently.

Key decision points interrupt the main plot arc, and you’ll have to make some tough calls about who to trust, and what to do with the relic implanted in V’s skull. No matter how seemingly inconsequential a decision may seem, it all adds to where you fall on the moral spectrum and shapes the path you take.

Like the original game, the Phantom Liberty expansion (check out our review) features multiple paths to an exciting climax that players can choose for themselves. Although it may be difficult to play through all of the endings in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty at once, here’s every ending explained and how to get them.
