Spoilers follow, obviously. You’ve been warned.
How many acts are there in Cyberpunk 2077?
There are technically only two acts in the Cyberpunk 2077 story. The first act ends shortly after you see the Cyberpunk 2077 title flash up at the end of a certain pivotal quest. From there, technically, you’re in the final act of the main story. This is pretty misleading though. The second act is far, far larger than the first, and takes much longer to complete. If you really want to figure out how far into the Cyberpunk 2077 story you are, then you should consult the below story quests list. Here is every main mission in order, from prologue to ending:
