When Cyberpunk: Edgerunners launched on Netflix, it emphasized the concept of cyberpsychosis. In the Cyberpunk world, this refers to the idea that as individuals enhance their bodies with cybernetics, their sanity and functionality will eventually be affected.
The anime’s focus on cyberpsychosis highlighted the fact that Cyberpunk 2077 does not address this concept on a mechanical level. While there are quests that involve the condition in the narrative, such as <a href="https://news.ad-astra.icu/cyberpunk-2077s-expansion-brings-cyberware-to-life-matching-the-danger-of-netflix-anime.html” title=”Cyberpunk 2077's Expansion Brings Cyberware to Life, Matching the Danger of Netflix Anime”>defeating cyberpsycho minibosses, the condition does not have an impact on the player, regardless of the amount of cybernetics they possess. However, the upcoming Phantom Liberty expansion in September will introduce some optional drawbacks to cybernetics, although it is unlikely to result in full-blown cyberpsychosis for the protagonist, V.
In an interview with VGC, Cyberpunk 2077 quest director Pawel Sasko explained that a new cyberware capacity perk will allow players to enhance their cyberware, making it more powerful but with some downsides. For example, enhanced combat capability may come at the expense of health. While V may not experience hallucinations and shooting at imaginary targets like characters in the anime, there is some acknowledgement of the lore in the expansion.
