Cyberpunk 2077 Canon Ending: Is There One?

1 min read

CD Projekt has never named one. The design intent is that every ending is equally valid — which is not the same as equally popular.

There is no confirmed Cyberpunk 2077 canon ending. CD Projekt has not named one of the game's outcomes as the "true" version of events, in interviews or in marketing for the sequel currently in development.

Why the studio has stayed quiet

The endings were built to branch on player choice rather than converge on one correct outcome — that is the point of offering several. Naming one canon after the fact would undercut the design of the other five.

What fans argue instead

Without an official answer, opinion tends to cluster around two candidates:

The secret ending, reached through a specific dialogue path in Chippin' In, since it is the only one where V confronts Arasaka Tower directly rather than choosing between allies.
The Star, tied to Panam and the Aldecaldos, because it is the ending most commonly framed by critics as the "hopeful" one.

Neither claim comes from CD Projekt — both are fan readings of tone, not statements from the studio.

The practical answer

Until the sequel says otherwise, treat every ending as valid for your save. None of them is wrong.
