CyberMP multiplayer mod for Cyberpunk 2077 is nearly here

CDPR actually had a whole team working on multiplayer for Cyberpunk 2077 at one point. It never made it out the door, and the game slipped into its own development mess instead. You can still spot the leftover evidence too, since the credits list out loads of people who worked on a mode that simply doesn’t exist.

CyberMP. It’s a fan-made mod that’s been quietly building towards a proper multiplayer experience for Night City, and going by a new promo video from the team, it’s a lot further along than I expected.

Players roaming Night City together, and shooting each other

Cyberpunk is an aggressively first-person game, so getting third-person animations to not look like a broken puppet show was always going to be the hard part. CyberMP’s devs have clearly put the work in, because it looks properly playable now. Each player gets their own name tag and a fully custom character, and shared activities like riding in the same car or racing separate ones seem stable rather than held together with tape.

There’s also a working PVP system, complete with a real-time kill feed in the corner. The team’s already run mass free-for-alls, and honestly, watching someone pull off a katana and Sandevistan combo through an entire lobby is exactly the chaos I didn’t know I needed.

No release date yet, but given how far CyberMP has come, a full launch feels close.

If this lands, it’ll finally give Cyberpunk 2077 the open-world multiplayer RP scene it always seemed built for, the kind GTA Online has had on lock for years. We don’t know exactly what CDPR envisioned back when it cancelled its own version, but I’d bet it wasn’t miles off Rockstar’s take. It just took some very dedicated modders to actually deliver it.
