Cyberpunk 2077 Multiplayer: Custom Servers & Vehicle Combat Planned

Developers is tackling a massive challenge

CyberMP, a fan-made mod created by the titular team, is taking on a massive challenge in there attempt to bring a fully functional multiplayer mode to CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077. As of now this project aint intended to operate like a traditional co-op campaign. CyberMP currently focusses on free-roam gameplay insted of synchronised story progression, meaning that quests and missions cannot be done cooperatively. The platform is built around sandbox gameplay, roleplaying servers and community-created experiences similar to GTA Online.

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 what people use. The CyberMP team tells us that anti-cheat measures is being integrated directly into the platform, although implementation details stay undisclosed ahead of future testing phases which they have planned.

Developers have also rebuilt their free-roam server infrastructure from scratch

The developers have also rebuilt their free-roam server infrastructure completly 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 there own servers or use the framework as a starting point for entirely new multiplayer game modes. Footage of the team’s latest playtest shows impressive, well-synchronized multiplayer racing and combat that already works good.

Recent development updates highlight several major technical milestones

Recent development updates highlight several major technical milestones what they have achieved. 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 which is quite a lot. 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 at this time. However, following a series of internal testing sessions, the developers are preparing a semi-open test for selected participants who might get chosen. If progress continues at its current pace, the project could become one of the most ambitious community-made expansions for Cyberpunk 2077 what anyone has seen.
