Overview
Description

Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world action-adventure game set in Night City, a sprawling metropolis driven by power, glamour, and body modification. Players assume the role of V, a mercenary outlaw in pursuit of a unique implant that holds the key to immortality, navigating a world where mega-corporations operate above the law. In a gritty future defined by cyberware, violent crime, and extreme poverty, your choices directly influence both the narrative and the world around you. Experience deep role-playing customization of skills, cybernetics, and playstyle as you carve your own legend in the streets of Night City.

Retro World transports you to a town obsessed with video games, where classic arcade cabinets and modern consoles coexist. Explore a living timeline of gaming, from Pong's simple paddles to today's high‑octane shooters, while uncovering a mysterious phenomenon affecting the town's children. Attend midnight game launches, compete in in‑game tournaments, and read interactive magazines for tips and rumors. Team up with friends in co‑op mode or go solo to solve the spooky mystery that lurks behind the retro craze.
