50 free Cyberpunk 2077 trivia questions with answers — technology quiz, new questions added Aug 2026.
This Cyberpunk 2077 trivia quiz covers CD Projekt Red's sprawling Night City epic from Mike Pondsmith's tabletop roots through the years of hype, the calamitous December 2020 launch, and the patient rebuild that ended with Phantom Liberty, Edgerunners and 40 million copies sold. The easy questions cover the basics: who plays Johnny Silverhand, the name of the city, the three lifepaths, the megacorporation and the biochip at the heart of the plot. From there the quiz moves through the districts, the characters, the endings, the engine, the delays and the refunds. The harder half is for players who have finished every ending: the four visual styles of Night City, the Polish government grant behind REDengine 4, the Winnie the Pooh censorship tag, the Run the Jewels song, the seizure warning, the class-action settlement, the Idris Elba expansion, the Switch 2 cartridge and the sequel codenamed Orion. Every answer was checked against the encyclopaedia entry for Cyberpunk 2077 before publishing. If you enjoy this, try our Witcher and video game history quizzes next.
