CyberMP is making strides on the road to a free, open-source Cyberpunk 2077 multiplayer mode.
Multiplayer has long been one of the most requested features for Cyberpunk 2077. While CD Projekt Red abandoned plans for an official online mode, the CyberMP team is continuing development of a fan-made multiplayer framework that could eventually allow players to share Night City on custom servers.

CyberMP, a fan-made mod developed by the titular team, is tackling a massive challenge in attempting to bring a fully functional multiplayer mode to CD Projekt Red's Cyberpunk 2077. As of now the project is not intended to function as a traditional co-op campaign. CyberMP currently focuses on free-roam gameplay rather than synchronized story progression, meaning quests and missions cannot be completed cooperatively. Instead, the platform is designed around sandbox gameplay, roleplaying servers and community-created experiences a'la GTA Online. 

A robust multiplayer-focused architecture

One of the most significant additions is a dedicated anti-cheat system. Since Cyberpunk 2077 was never built around multiplayer functionality, the base game lacks protections against trainers and gameplay-altering modifications. The CyberMP team says anti-cheat measures are being integrated directly into the platform, although implementation details remain undisclosed ahead of future testing phases.

The developers have also rebuilt their free-roam server infrastructure from scratch. The new architecture is intended to improve stability while making it easier for other modders to create custom content. In the future, the free-roam server package is expected to become open source, allowing users to host their own servers or use the framework as a starting point for entirely new multiplayer game modes. Footage of the team's latest playtest showcases impressive, well-synchronized multiplayer racing and combat already.

The future of CyberMP

Recent development updates highlight several major technical milestones. The team reports that roughly 200 bugs have been resolved while features such as character appearance synchronization, improved player and vehicle networking, combat-capable vehicles, passenger-seat shooting and synchronized Basilisk tank support have already been implemented. New chat functionality, voice communication improvements and an in-game overlay have also been added.

CyberMP is still in active development and remains unavailable for public download. However, following a series of internal testing sessions, the developers are preparing a semi-open test for selected participants. If progress continues at its current pace, the project could become one of the most ambitious community-made expansions for Cyberpunk 2077.
