Cyberpunk 2077 released in 2020

Cyberpunk 2077 was released in 2020 as a video game set in a futuristic, dystopian city called Night City. It was developed by CD Projekt Red, a Polish video game company known for creating The Witcher series.

Game had poor performance on PS4

The game faced criticism for its poor performance on the PlayStation 4, leading Sony to remove it from the PlayStation Store from December 2020 to June 2021. This was due to numerous technical issues and bugs reported by players.

Unofficial browser version released

On October 23, 2026, an independent developer known as omonkey released an unofficial browser version of Cyberpunk 2077. This version allows the game to be played directly in a web browser without traditional installation, using a URL shared by the developer.

Unofficial port may be short-lived

The browser version has no connection with CD Projekt Red and could be taken down soon. Legal action by the studio’s lawyers may remove it, though they appear slower than those of Nintendo. A similar unofficial port of GTA V for the browser appeared and disappeared within hours.

Browser version requires strong hardware

Not everyone will be able to run Cyberpunk 2077 on their browser. The first launch can take time, depending on the internet connection and the PC's performance. The game uses the computer’s resources directly, unlike cloud gaming services that use remote servers.

Technology behind the browser version

The browser version relies on technologies like WebGPU and WebAssembly, which allow web applications to use a device’s graphics capabilities and run compiled code in a web environment. The site provides the game files directly, without checking if the user owns the game.

Unofficial port raises legal concerns

The browser version allows anyone to access a paid game for free, which gives CD Projekt Red a strong reason to have the site closed. The developer recommends using Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge on PC, and claims the game also works on some recent Android smartphones.

Game has improved since release

Female and male players have reported multiple bugs in the browser version, such as image freezes, missing sound, and long loading times. However, the official Cyberpunk 2077 game has improved significantly since its release, thanks to patches, updates, and the Phantom Liberty expansion.

Cyberpunk 2077 expanded into other media

The Cyberpunk 2077 license has expanded beyond video games, with an anime titled Cyberpunk: Edgerunners and a collectible card game. The game has regained the trust of many players through ongoing improvements and additional content.
