After a near decade long wait, Cyberpunk 2077 is finally here. As you explore Night City, you’ll meet interesting characters from all walks of life and form relationships with them. While many of them will be professional, it wouldn’t be a huge, modern RPG if you weren’t able to get romantically involved with some characters. So that you know how it all works, here’s a run down of sex and romance in Cyberpunk 2077, including which characters you can romance and how you start relationships.
Cyberpunk 2077 Romance Explained
Just as was the case in The Witcher 3, there are various characters in the game that you can start relationships with, romance and have sex with in Cyberpunk 2077. While we haven’t dived into all the romance options in the game ourselves yet, you’ll notice that most of the characters you can romance will have their own side-quest chains.
As Lead Quest Designer Paweł Sasko said in a DM conversation that was posted on Reddit, “you can think that it [romance] is going to be similar to how Witcher 3 was – there were whole plotlines regarding characters and if that NPCs were treated well and interesting in Geralt, something was happening. So here [in Cyberpunk 2077] it’s going to be very similar.”
If you start doing work for them, doing what they want and following their lead, you’ll get closer to them. Then, on top of that, you’ll need to carefully choose the correct dialogue options in order to start a romantic connection and possibly initiate sex scenes.
The ones you want to choose will be quite obvious, seeing your version of V get closer to someone physically or say something complimentary, but you still need to pay close attention to what you’re picking.
How relationships work is also down to your own character’s personality traits and those of the NPCs you’re courting. Some characters will expect an exclusive relationship, some won’t mind if you’re exploring your options, and some will want nothing more than sex via a one night stand.
As of now, we don’t know which characters want what, but keep it in mind when pursuing romance in Cyberpunk 2077.
Sex Scenes in Cyberpunk 2077
It’s also worth noting that Cyberpunk 2077 does include nudity as well. Your character will be seen in first-person sex scenes when you get into a romantic relationship.
It’s not that regular, but the game isn’t shy when it comes to showing nudity. You can turn it off if you’d prefer though.
