Cyberpunk 2077 Romance Guide

What are all romance options in Cyberpunk 2077 and which characters can you romance? In this Cyberpunk 2077 guide, we're going to detail all of the lovely people that you can start a romantic relationship with in CD Projekt Red's open world game.

Needless to say, this guide contains some spoilers for both side quests and main story quests.

Cyberpunk 2077: All Romance Options

There are just four main romance options in Cyberpunk 2077. What's more, these four characters have their own physical preferences, meaning that your options are limited depending on which body type (male or female) V has.

All four of these characters first appear either during the main story, or during a major side quest. We'll give you all of the details below.

Judy Alvarez

Cyberpunk 2077 Judy Romance

You can only romance Judy if V has a female body type and feminine voice.

You first meet Judy near the beginning of the game. She's a tech-minded individual who initially seems a little prickly — but her heart's clearly in the right place.

How to Romance Judy

You must follow these steps in order to start a relationship with Judy:

  • During the side job 'Pisces', reject Maiko's plan OR reject Maiko's payment
  • During the side job 'Pyramid Song', choose to go diving with Judy, and then agree to spend the night
  • During the side job 'Pyramid Song', choose to kiss Judy when the opportunity arises
  • During the side job 'Pyramid Song', talk to Judy the next morning and tell her this is the beginning of a relationship

Panam Palmer

Cyberpunk 2077 Panam Romance

You can only romance Panam if V has a male body type.

Panam is a headstrong woman who'll stop at nothing to help those she cares about. She's brash and instinctive, but sometimes that's what you need when your back's against the wall in Night City.

How to Romance Panam

You must follow these steps in order to start a relationship with Panam:

  • During the side job 'Riders on the Storm', flirt with Panam when the opportunity arises
  • During the side job 'With a Little Help from My Friends', do not reveal Panam's plan
  • During the side job 'With a Little Help from My Friends', do not tell Panam that you're helping her for the money
  • During the side job 'Queen of the Highway', choose to synchronise

River Ward

Cyberpunk 2077 River Romance

You can only romance River if V has a female body type.

River is an extremely rare breed in Night City: a (relatively) honest cop. Behind his calm demeanour is a burning sense of justice and a desire to help people.

How to Romance River

  • During the side job 'The Hunt', save Randy
  • During the side job 'The Hunt', express your romantic interest in River
  • During the side job ' Following the River', choose to kiss River whenever the opportunity arises

Kerry Eurodyne

Cyberpunk 2077 Kerry Romance

Kerry's an experienced personality to say the least. He's a major player in Night City and knows how to strike a deal, but deep down, he's a kind and caring guy who knows what's right.

How to Romance Kerry

  • During the side job 'Boat Drinks', flirt with Kerry at every available opportunity
  • During the side job 'Boat Drinks', confirm your romantic interest in Kerry
