How many acts are in Cyberpunk 2077?

Cyberpunk 2077's central story structure is a little unconventional

How many acts are in Cyberpunk 2077? Believe it or not, there are only two. V and Johnny Silverhand's story isn't quite that simple though, because if there's one thing Cyberpunk 2077 lacks, it's a conventional plot and structure. Because Night City is massive and has so many side activities and missions to partake in, despite only having two acts, you could spend over a hundred hours playing and still not see everything. Not to mention the short intro which acts as a prologue and the epilogue, along with the Phantom Liberty expansion for even more Cyberpunk 2077 to enjoy.

So really, the Cyberpunk 2077 length is split into two halves, if you ignore all of the side quests that could kill hours or even days depending on how much you do. Let's take a look at those halves in more detail now.

How many Cyberpunk 2077 acts are there?

There's technically only two acts in Cyberpunk 2077 - however, after seeing one of the Cyberpunk 2077 endings, there's an option to unlock an epilogue. Plus, the unique opening mission tied to your Cyberpunk 2077 lifepath, also functions as a  short prologue of sorts.

The appearance of the 'point of no return' warning can come as a surprise though as it doesn't feel like a game ending mission when you start that thread and it's was something we noted in our Cyberpunk 2077 review. That's partly why the main campaign arc feels a little truncated in terms of the narrative. However, there's all the various Side Jobs, and characters arcs outside of the main story to provide plenty of other additional content.

  • Starfield frontier starship landing at HopeTech hq Starfield ending explained

Of course, once you do hit the ending, it is worth noting that you return to the open world afterwards, just before the final mission begins to continue exploring Night City. So while a two-act structure may sound brief, there's still everything else you haven't done afterwards in the city and surrounding Badlands.
