Cyberpunk 2077 has four main romance options. This guide says who they are and how the system works, using RPG Site's romance guide. We keep it non-explicit on purpose.

Key takeaways

  • Four main options: Judy Alvarez, River Ward, Panam Palmer and Kerry Eurodyne.
  • On console, each one fits only certain V body types. PC mods reportedly widen this.
  • Choices in specific quests unlock each romance. Save before important talks.
  • Update 2.1 added a repeatable hangout quest for the four.

The four main options

CharacterV needsWhere it starts
Judy AlvarezFeminine body and voiceHer quests, starting with "Pisces"
River WardFeminine body type"I Fought the Law" and "The Hunt"
Panam PalmerMasculine body type"Riders on the Storm"
Kerry EurodyneMasculine body and voice"Off the Leash"

RPG Site says you need to flirt and make the right dialogue choices. For example, Panam's route asks you to avoid mentioning money in one quest. Names are story spoilers, so we do not go further.

Other short encounters

There are also one-time encounters, such as paid ones on Jig Jig Street and one with Meredith Stout. These are not real relationships, and we skip the details.

Updates

RPG Site reports that Update 2.1 added a repeatable hangout quest for Judy, River, Panam and Kerry, and that later updates added scenes and phone calls. Phantom Liberty also affects relationships through its ending, which we do not spoil.

Tips

  1. Decide who you like early, since it affects how you spend your time.
  2. Do each character's side quests as they appear.
  3. Keep a manual save before big choices.
  4. Remember that body type, not life path, is what the guide lists as the requirement.
