The video says it all.

To the world, map, original characters returning, story. I'm really interested in reading about it.

Im trying to activate the mission Black Pearl by talking to Nidas behind the Golden Sturgeon but every time I interact with him he just talks like a regular npc, babbling about Timeria and such. Does anyone know why this is happening or how to fix it?

Since patch 2.5, HDR seems to be bugged in Cyberpunk 2077 on Switch 2.

The HDR settings have disappeared, and during the daytime around 12PM under direct sunlight, the roads and the sky become almost completely white due to excessive brightness.

What's strange is that as soon as I turn HDR off, everything looks normal again, with proper brightness and saturation, so the issue seems to be specifically related to HDR.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? unlike in version 2.31, it's impossible to adjust the HDR settings anymore and it seriously affects the visual quality of the game.

Hopefully CD Projekt Red fixes this in a future patch.

so there is a bug with the switch 2 that has to do with the actual nintendo user.
upon starting the game, skipping the intro cutscene and pressing start after selecting my main nintendo switch user the game will say breaching for about a second then crash saying “software was closed due to a error occurred”. deleting the systems cache, reinstalling the game (i’m using a physical release), and restoring to factory settings does not fix this. i found a work around to play the game by making a entirely fresh nintendo user and i run the game fine! having to start fresh is fine and all but id love to get to my main save and mess with mods but its quite frustrating. i’ve seen a few others with this problem and im wondering if other choombas have this issue. thanks people

I'm finding very conflicting info, one source says yes, the other says no, yet another one says only some.

I want to install some of the mods the game now offers by default (and maybe then some) but their stance on achievements seem to have changed since 2.5? Anyone have a clear answer to this?

Thanks in advance.:)

How could I submit my songs for consideration for the Soundtrack??

So: I played the Witcher 3 PS5 Version. It got pulled out of PS Plus, so didn't continue it for a while. Then Remastered became free if you had a friend who had the original copy. A friend had a Switch 2 copy so I was able to get a free digital download. I was hoping to continue the game on my Switch to play it on-the-go.

However, I did not create a CD Projekt Red Account. And now, even on my PS5 (assuming I didn't want to play it on my Switch), the saves are not appearing. 

A friend told me I had to start over from scratch. He said booting a PS4 copy won't work because my game save is for the PS5 version. Does anyone know if it's possible for me to borrow a friend's Witcher 3 copy (non-remastered), not update it, then access my saves and create a CD Projekt Red Account from there? Then upload it to cloud so I can continue it on my Switch?

Any workaround? Or is my 35 hr gameplay gone? Thanks!

Literally I haven’t played a card game never get bored of it, loved it i hope we will get same kind of gwent in witcher 4

[Xbox Series X] Game-breaking crash during Never Fade Away – tried everything, desperately need help

I'm nearly 38 hours into my first Cyberpunk 2077 playthrough, absolutely loving the game, and now I'm completely unable to progress because of a consistent crash during Never Fade Away.

The crash happens at the exact same moment every time: during Johnny Silverhand's flashback, after he's stabbed and crawling along the street. The moment he lifts his head, the game freezes/crashes straight to the Xbox dashboard.

I'm playing on an Xbox Series X, with no mods.

Things I've already tried:

\- Restarting my Xbox multiple times

\- Completely unplugging the console to clear the cache

\- Clearing Blu-ray persistent storage

\- Switching between Performance and Ray Tracing modes

\- Pausing during the crawling animation and waiting before resuming

\- Reloading saves from earlier in Never Fade Away

\- Completely uninstalling and reinstalling the game

Nothing has worked. It crashes at the exact same moment every single time.

I've also submitted a support ticket to CD Projekt RED, but I'm still waiting for a response.

I've seen other Xbox players reporting this exact issue recently, so I'm wondering whether it's related to the latest update.

I'm honestly devastated. I've fallen in love with this game and my V, and being completely locked out of progressing the story after nearly 38 hours is heartbreaking.

Has ANYONE managed to get past this crash on Xbox Series X? I'm looking for any workaround I haven't already tried.

I tried an earlier save from Transmission with no luck.

Any advice would be massively appreciated. I just want to get back to playing.

Have a nice day folks. ❤️

Is it just me or did ever since the new update came out softlocks are just so common. Legit on my third campaign and now it’s softlocked again it’s always whenever a person needs to call you for a mission to start and of course it’s always the missions you need to complete so that other missions can spawn. It’s so annoying i genuinely can’t play the game because eventually I’ll reach a spot where I simply just can’t continue. My first one was waiting for rouge to call me for chippin in since she needs a in game day to pass then the second one right after was meeting johnny for the first time and genuinely no mission would spawn besides the gigs for Regina. It would say I would need to make a name for myself or to wait until wakako district is open. Now the third one is waiting for takemura to call me for down on the street. In all these campaigns I did a fair amount of gigs and time skipping and nothing would happen. All I would be left with was an empty map to do nothing on while still waiting on the call. I tried everything to re entering buildings reloading save files exhausting dialogue and even just jumping around waiting for the call yet nothing. It seems like the only fix is to just do a new campaign and hope it just doesn’t softlock and if it does try another campaign. It’s frustrating because I want to try this new update out and actually COMPLETE a campaign but I can’t. I swear I don’t remember calls being this difficult to spawn. I legit remember rarely doing side quest or gigs and just time skip and they would call idk what broke in this update or its just me 😭 anyways ig I’ll just wait for a patch to come out or continue to try other methods. (And yes I have no mods on I did for my first 2 then I disable them to try to fix my second campaign but to no avail. Then on my final third campaign I decided no mods at all thinking that’s what’s breaking the game since mods are new for ps5 cyberpunk but no nothing I do fixes my problems)

Hey chooms. I’ve spent a lot of time mapping out a hypothetical secondary questline for the Cyberpunk universe that I wanted to share.
The core idea is exploring friendship, gang warfare, loyalty, and the brutal reality of a conflict where there are no clean, happy outcomes.
Working title: The Cost of Loyalty.
Here is the complete breakdown of how the whole arc works, from structure to the devastating aftermaths.
1. The Central Premise
The story kicks off when V gets deeply entangled in a bloody gang war between 6th Street and the Tyger Claws.
What starts as a minor street-level incident snowballs out of control through retaliation, grief, pride, and pressure from top brass. Every act of violence creates a fresh reason for revenge, until the war is much bigger than the people who started it. There is no secret mastermind pulling strings from the shadows; the tragedy comes entirely from ordinary people and leaders choosing retaliation over compromise.
At the emotional center are two guys V comes to consider close friends:
Marcus Reyes (6th Street)
Kenji Sato (Tyger Claws)
Both are kind, funny, generous, loyal, and fiercely protective of their loved ones. Both have families depending on them. Neither wants this war, and neither wants to kill the other—but both believe that walking away from their people would be an unforgivable betrayal.
V has to choose: Stand with Marcus, stand with Kenji, or walk away entirely.
2. Quest Structure & Pacing
Unlock: Around Level 20, after an early-game main story milestone and getting access to the relevant district.
Length: ~12–16 missions total, spanning personal bonding, escalating clashes, the climax, and long-term epilogues.
Timeline: Several in-game weeks of rising tension, culminating in a final battle, followed by aftermath quests set months later.
Structure: Two parallel friendship storylines that slowly merge into a single flashpoint.
3. Meet the Friends & Their Families
To make the choice hurt, both guys get equal screen time, mission counts, and emotional depth.
Marcus Reyes (6th Street)
Introduction: V meets Marcus during a local dispute in a 6th Street zone where he helps de-escalate a situation threatening civilians.
Home Life: Marcus lives with his elderly mother (who needs regular medical care) and his grandmother. He works tirelessly to pay for their necessities, manage care, and keep them safe. His home life is full of mundane chores, jokes, and warmth—far away from Night City's violence.
The Conflict: When the war breaks out, leadership leverages his sense of duty to force him into retaliatory ops. His tragedy is that his greatest trait—his loyalty—is weaponized by a violent gang.
Kenji Sato (Tyger Claws)
Introduction: V meets Kenji during a community dispute where he steps in to prevent bloodshed, showing genuine care for his neighborhood despite his gang affiliation.
Home Life: Kenji introduces V to his pregnant wife and two young children. He’s a devoted, affectionate family man who covers rent, medical bills, and daily essentials. His kids draw pictures for V or interrupt serious talks with innocent questions, embedding these relationships deeply before the war peaks.
The Conflict: As the war intensifies, superiors push him into command. He hates facing Marcus, but feels bound by duty to protect his people.
4. How the War Escalates
The spark is a minor, ambiguous street clash resulting in a serious casualty. Both gangs get distorted accounts and demand blood.
The two gang leaders are cut from the same cloth:
The 6th Street leader is ruthless, power-hungry, and treats subordinates as disposable trash.
The Tyger Claws leader is equally ruthless, driven purely by territory expansion.
V despises both bosses equally. Even if V were to wipe out both leaders, the violence wouldn't stop—the war has taken on a life of its own driven by blood feuds and grief.
5. The Final Battle & Contextual Choices
After weeks of rising tension, a decisive battle is locked in for 10:00 PM the following night at an abandoned industrial complex on the district's edge. Neither Marcus nor Kenji can sit it out without abandoning their people.
Both men call V independently. They don't threaten V or beg—they just state the reality and ask V to be there for them, not the war.
The Choice Mechanics (Environmental & Immersive)
Instead of picking an option in a menu, the choice is purely positional:
Stand with Marcus: V travels to the industrial complex and enters through the 6th Street staging perimeter.
Stand with Kenji: V travels to the industrial complex and enters through the Tyger Claws infiltration point.
Refuse Both: V stays away from the district entirely when 10:00 PM hits.
As 10:00 PM approaches, if V hasn't committed to either side, both Marcus and Kenji send final text messages. They don't beg; they just send brief, quiet messages thanking V for being a genuine friend in a city where trust is rare. V's absence becomes an active choice.
6. The Three Endings & Their Brutal Aftermaths
Ending A: Siding with Marcus
The Climax: V cuts through Tyger Claws defenses alongside Marcus. During the push, V encounters Kenji. Fighting out of defensive loyalty, Kenji forces a clash, and V kills him.
The Aftermath ("A Familiar Face"): Months later, V runs into one of Kenji’s kids on the street who cheerfully invites V home. V discovers the family has been evicted due to loss of income, now living in a cramped, rotting apartment. Kenji's wife gave birth to their third child alone, is drowning in grief, and still hasn't found the heart to tell the kids their dad is dead.
When the child innocently asks, "Uncle V, can you tell Daddy to come home? I miss him," V has to sit in agonizing silence at the dinner table with a family that still idolizes the person who killed him. No rewards. No moralizing pop-ups. Just pure psychological pain.
Ending B: Siding with Kenji
The Climax: V flanks 6th Street alongside Kenji, pushing toward the objective, which forces a direct confrontation with Marcus. V kills Marcus.
The Aftermath ("Disconnected"): Months later, V tries to call Marcus. The grandmother's number yields a disconnected recording. Calling the mother routes through to a poorly maintained, cheap nursing home. Without Marcus's financial and physical support, the grandmother passed away shortly after, and the mother was institutionalized in a facility the family can barely afford. Just a dead phone line.
Ending C: Refusing Both
The Climax: V stays away, reading the final texts as 10:00 PM hits. The next evening, V watches a news broadcast reporting on the industrial complex massacre, showing footage of both Marcus and Kenji dying in the crossfire. Refusing to choose didn't save them; it just meant neither friend had V watching their back.
The Aftermath: Months later, the long-term fallout mirrors the other routes: the grandmother dies, the mother suffers in care, and Kenji's family loses their home. V gets an optional objective to help the families by donating 15,000 eddies to each ($30,000 total). It eases bills and rent, but it can't buy back a human life. V stays clean of blood, but completely fails to save either friend.
Summary / Core Theme
The entire questline isn't about finding a "secret good ending." It’s about showing how Night City's violence crushes ordinary families while the bosses stay safe, and proving that while eddies can fix logistics, money can never resurrect a parent or heal a broken home.
What do you guys think? Would you play a questline like this, or how would you tweak the outcomes?

The dagger/throwing knife you get with the ursine gear as a part of 2.5 isn’t iconic. You can destroy it, and you cant upgrade it. If its part of the “Witcher gear” you get, why wouldn’t it be something you can take to the end game?

Thanks to the mods for letting us share this here.

I just finished watching cyberpunk 2 i felt that the show was kinda missing something like i get that season 1 set a high bar but man this show did not deliver the emotional impact i expected. The characters were ok but i was not really pulled into their life. I just wanted to rant that all how did you feel about the show did you like it or not for me this show felt like they were leading us onto something great but fumbled or Maybe they were building the show to make cyberpunk season 3 (if it gets released) be great that all
