Is Cyberpunk 2077 worth it in 2026?
Playze Staff · Jul 4, 2026
Few games have had a turnaround like this one. Cyberpunk 2077 launched rough and spent years being rebuilt in public. The question in 2026 is simple: is it worth your money now? The short answer is yes — emphatically.
What it is today
The bugs that defined its launch are long gone. What remains is one of the most atmospheric open worlds ever made: Night City is dense, beautiful and genuinely reactive, wrapped around a sharp, character-driven RPG with real consequences. The overhauled skill and gear systems make builds feel distinct, and the main story and side quests are consistently excellent.
The expansion seals it
The Phantom Liberty expansion is some of the best content the game has, a tense spy thriller with one of the strongest questlines CD Projekt has ever written. If you buy the game, factor it in.
The price makes it a no-brainer
Cyberpunk regularly sells for around 70% off now, which turns an easy recommendation into an obvious one. If you loved The Witcher 3 from the same studio, this is your next hundred hours.
Before buying, check the current price against the all-time low on its game page, and compare stores and keyshops — the difference can be a few dollars. If it is not quite at your target, set an alert. For more, see our roundup of the best RPGs on sale.
