Is there new game plus in Cyberpunk 2077?

Unfortunately, Cyberpunk 2077 still does not have new game plus, or NG+. If you’ve completed the main campaign of Cyberpunk 2077 with one save and want to start a new character because it’s been three years since you’ve played, you won’t be able to transfer all your weapons, gear, upgrades, and skills into a fresh new game plus file.

Especially in Cyberpunk 2077’s case with the Phantom Liberty DLC, new game plus is a feature that would be incredibly helpful. There are many people who have completed or got close to completing the main story in Cyberpunk 2077. If there was a new game plus feature, they’d be able to take everything they earned in their first playthrough and apply it into their second as they relearn the game, experience the 2.0 update, and get ready for Phantom Liberty.

The sad truth is that Cyberpunk 2077 may never get new game plus. Mike Tost, a lead designer at CD Projekt, tweeted a year ago that “NG+ for CP2077 is an incredibly complex feature to make.”
