Futuristic Adventures Await in Cyberpunk 2077 Multiplayer Mod Stability Test Success

CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077, a departure from the studio’s established medieval fantasy world of The Witcher, immersed players in a futuristic, technology-driven setting. Despite a difficult launch five years ago, Cyberpunk 2077 has maintained a dedicated fanbase that actively enhances the game. While official multiplayer functionality remains absent from the original Cyberpunk 2077. Rumors suggest it may be included in the sequel, but community modders have stepped in to fill the void in the meantime. A team of approximately ten developers created CyberMP, a multiplayer mod for Cyberpunk 2077 that allows players to engage in online races, PvP battles, and explore Night City together. The CyberMP team, which keeps its followers updated on project progress and demonstrations through a dedicated YouTube channel, recently concluded its most stable and successful closed test.

This test focused on improving player and vehicle synchronization and introduced new features such as personalized lobbies and interfaces, as well as a brand-new interface equipped with chat, teleport, and world management tools. The mod’s performance was also evaluated on Linux, and a new JavaScript module was integrated. According to the developers, any errors encountered during the test have been resolved or are currently being addressed. The only issue was a few game client closures unrelated to the mod itself. During this phase, players were able to race, engage in shootouts, and freely explore Night City while the developers, a team of about ten, assessed synchronization improvements. Modders reported that character and vehicle movements appeared more fluid and consistent, and movement on foot felt more responsive. A presentation teaser created by the modders offers a preview of online races in both first-person and third-person perspectives, featuring both cars and motorcycles. The teaser suggests the possibility of using weapons against competitors. Currently in beta testing, the CyberMP mod for Cyberpunk 2077 is available on PC. The team promises more updates for those awaiting multiplayer action in Night City.

Specification
Official Name	Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition
Brief Summary	In 2077, following an economic collapse sometime during the early 21st century, the United States is forced to rely on large corporations to survive. These corporations deal in a wide range of areas, such as weapons, robotics, cybernetics, pharmaceuticals, communications and biotechnology, and many of these companies operate above the law. The world in between is where decadence, sex and pop culture mix with violent crime, extreme poverty and the unattainable promise of the American Dream. You play as V, a mercenary outlaw deeply embedded in the crime-ridden city of Night City, going after a one-of-a-kind implant that is the key to immortality. Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition is an open-world RPG containing two powerful adventures: the base game of Cyberpunk 2077, taking place in the dark future of Night City, and Phantom Liberty, a spy-thriller story set in the walled-off district of Dogtown. Players take on the role of V, a cyber-enhanced mercenary, and embark on a fight for survival filled with story-defining decisions, action-packed gameplay, and unforgettable characters, including rockerboy Johnny Silverhand (played by Keanu Reeves) and FIA sleeper agent Solomon Reed (played by Idris Elba). This new release is the perfect way to experience every story of the dark future; it also contains the free Update 2.0, which overhauled many of the game’s systems, introducing dynamic skill trees, high-octane vehicle combat, and enhanced enemy and police AI — as well as adding new weapons, vehicles, and clothes. The release is bolstered with a set of previously released digital goodies available as part of the “My Rewards” program, available to all who register.
