In a first-person perspective, players assume the role of the customisable mercenary V, who can apply experience points to stat upgrades to reach prominence in the character classes NetRunner, Techie, and Solo. V has an arsenal of ranged weapons and options for melee combat, all of which can be modified. V travels Night City by foot and in a range of vehicles.

"Cyberpunk 2077" entered pre-production as soon as developer CD Projekt Red had finished "". Around this time, approximately fifty staff members were involved; they later devoted a team larger than that of "", and after it was released, began upgrading their REDengine 3 to complement "Cyberpunk 2077". They learned early on how aspects like stream processing and global illumination would function without disturbing the central processing unit.

Role playing game publisher R. Talsorian Games, owner of the "Cyberpunk 2020" franchise, trademarked the word "Cyberpunk" in the United States in 2012. Video game developer CD Projekt, which is developing "Cyberpunk 2077", bought the U.S. trademark from R. Talsorian Games, and has filed a trademark in the European Union.

The teaser trailer received the People's Choice award for Best Animation at the 2013 FITC Awards, the award for Best Trailer at the 2013 Machinima Inside Gaming Awards, and a nomination for Best Video Game Trailer at the 2013 Golden Trailer Awards. Following E3 2018, "Cyberpunk 2077" won the awards for Best Game, Best Xbox One Game, Best PC Game, Best RPG, and People's Choice at "IGN", Best Role-Playing Game and Game of the Show at "Game Informer", Best of E3 at "PC Gamer", and Game of the Show at "GamesRadar+". The second trailer was broadly considered one of the best at the expo, although writer William Gibson, credited with pioneering the cyberpunk subgenre, said "the trailer for "Cyberpunk 2077" strikes me as "GTA" skinned-over with a generic 80s retro-future". The fact that it is played in a first-person perspective, contrary to "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt"s third-person view, was also subject to criticism. At the 2018 Golden Joystick Awards, "Cyberpunk 2077" won the Most Wanted Game award.

The game draws inspiration from several cyberpunk works, including the 1982 film "Blade Runner", Japanese cyberpunk manga / anime series "Ghost in the Shell", and video games "System Shock" (1994) and "Deus Ex" (2000). It also features a motorbike from the "Akira" manga / 1988 anime film. Mike Pondsmith, who created the original tabletop game "Cyberpunk 2020", started consulting on the project after being approached in 2012. "The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt" composer Marcin Przybyłowicz was chosen to write the score.

CD Projekt Red was granted subventions of US$7 million by the Polish government, whose funding application confirmed the employment of REDengine 4. In June 2017, data containing early designs were stolen and threatened to be released to the public, but the developer refused to comply with the ransom demand. The development reportedly reached a milestone in late 2017, and in March 2018, a new studio was opened in Wrocław to aid the production. That July, nearly 350 employees were developing it, and by the following month, the story was fully realised and could facilitate a complete playthrough. In October 2018, CD Projekt Red announced the establishment of a long-term partnership with Canadian studio Digital Scapes to craft additional technology for "Cyberpunk 2077". Originally to launch with multiplayer, this was later assigned to research and development, with the single-player since prioritised. The first-person perspective was selected to immerse players more than a third-person view would allow, given the detail the developer devoted to the open world. Cutscenes and gameplay were made to seamlessly blend together, also for the purpose of immersion. "Cyberpunk 2077" will feature full nudity, which game director Adam Badowski said encapsulates the theme of transhumanism—"the body is no longer sacrum [sacred]; it's profanum [profane]". The quest designers, who oversee the development of their own ideas, resolved to make the quest system allow players to decide the order in which quests are partaken of. Side quests are often made from unused parts of the main story. Animation and facial animation systems were remade to better generate lip syncing and muscle movement; motion capture was also improved. Environments are created from prefabricated designs for scalability's sake. Reused models have altered colours and details.

Several RPGs called "Cyberpunk" exist: "Cyberpunk", "Cyberpunk 2020" and "Cyberpunk v3", by R. Talsorian Games, and "GURPS Cyberpunk", published by Steve Jackson Games as a module of the GURPS family of RPGs. "Cyberpunk 2020" was designed with the settings of William Gibson's writings in mind, and to some extent with his approval, unlike the approach taken by FASA in producing the transgenre "Shadowrun" game. Both are set in the near future, in a world where cybernetics are prominent. In addition, Iron Crown Enterprises released an RPG named "Cyberspace", which was out of print for several years until recently being re-released in online PDF form. CD Projekt Red is currently developing "Cyberpunk 2077," a cyberpunk first-person open world RPG video-game based on the tabletop RPG "Cyberpunk 2020".
In 1990, in a convergence of cyberpunk art and reality, the United States Secret Service raided Steve Jackson Games's headquarters and confiscated all their computers. Officials denied that the target had been the "GURPS Cyberpunk" sourcebook, but Jackson would later write that he and his colleagues "were never able to secure the return of the complete manuscript; [...] The Secret Service at first flatly refused to return anything – then agreed to let us copy files, but when we got to their office, restricted us to one set of out-of-date files – then agreed to make copies for us, but said "tomorrow" every day from March 4 to March 26. On March 26 we received a set of disks which purported to be our files, but the material was late, incomplete and well-nigh useless." Steve Jackson Games won a lawsuit against the Secret Service, aided by the new Electronic Frontier Foundation. This event has achieved a sort of notoriety, which has extended to the book itself as well. All published editions of "GURPS Cyberpunk" have a tagline on the front cover, which reads "The book that was seized by the U.S. Secret Service!" Inside, the book provides a summary of the raid and its aftermath.

On May 30, 2012, it was confirmed that Pondsmith was working with CD Projekt Red on a video game set in the "Cyberpunk" universe. On October 18, 2012, the game's name and settings were revealed to be "Cyberpunk 2077". Immediately afterwards, Brian Crecente was able to confirm with the game's creators that Pondsmith was also working on a new edition of "Cyberpunk" pen and paper RPG game that would evolve the genre. In the interview for GameSpot, CD Projekt's Marcin Iwiński divulged that Pondsmith's involvement in the video game development mostly focuses on the game world aspect and mechanics and his input, though constant, does not happen on a daily basis due to the distance between the parties. Video game creators as well as Mike Pondsmith and other RTG designers will contribute on the newly formed cyberpunk.net blog.
