Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty endings contain many different ways to finish V’s journey. Here is every ending in the large expansion, and how to obtain them in the game.

Owing to the branching structure of the story, Cyberpunk 2077 offers players a wide range of possibilities. Each playthrough ends differently because the game remembers the decisions you make, from the most immoral to the most horrific.

You’ll have to make some tough calls about who to trust, and what to do with the relic implanted in V’s skull. No matter how seemingly inconsequential a decision may seem, it all adds to where you fall on the moral spectrum and shapes the path you take.

Like the original game, the Phantom Liberty expansion (check out our review) features multiple paths to an exciting climax that players can choose for themselves. Although it may be difficult to play through all of the endings in Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty at once, here’s every ending explained and how to get them.

Note: This article contains spoilers for the Phantom Liberty expansion.
