The Phantom Liberty quiz that Cyberpunk 2077 launched is sending players over the edge. The official Cyberpunk 2077 account linked to a “super official and FIA-approved quiz” to let you decide if you should be packaging a date to play Phantom Liberty. But the real news lies within the replies, where folks are debating the endings, especially around Songbird and betrayal. The threads are deeply emotional and packed with spoilers, so I strongly urge you to tread with caution if you haven’t played the game yet.
The quiz is pretty straightforward; they say the questions prepare one for the DLC. It’s the comment section that is anything but simple. Here’s where things get very deep about lore and the difficult moral choices that you will be lured into making in Phantom Liberty. One player, Nicolas, joked about an option, “Because I love So Mi,” followed by a crying emoji. Honestly? Can relate. The Songbird bond causes so much strife with some players saying that they would never betray her in any way. Yet, anther commenter, shaurya_maurya_, states, “i would never even think of betraying songbird.(period).”
Others, however, are asking questions such as “Wait… Can you help both Songbird and Reed?” Confusion is the real deal.
And the Tower ending discussions are going to give you another headache in this mess. One player, Marmo, said that they were now in a modded-New Game+ with no implants to prove that the Tower ending wasn’t stopping their V.
The mixed bag of reactions is love and despair. Some have completed Phantom Liberty numerous times, with one stating they have now completed it four times, to which the official account humorously replied, “You can play twice. 😏” Then there are those who are waiting for it to go on sale, like Mixatli, who commented that they would play when the price drops below 20.99. After that, majinn_goku2002 states that it isn’t on Xbox One, posing another hurdle for some players.
If you were to observe anything, almost everything about this is how divided the community is about the characters and their choices. Massive threads are being generated where users debate whether Songbird is justified or not in what she has done. Fuck Tyrants said, “Yeah… He is. But like still. Like i understand she betrays V but like think about it…. Can’t blame her,” to which Mozzarella responded, “guy who misunderstands the point of cyberpunk,” so ouch. The discourse is deep; it does show how players are so invested in the story.
If we’re even going to mention it, Nibbles, the cat, comes up. aquelagibbles said, “Nibbles being left behind is a crime 💔,” which is so true, given who would leave that adorable kitty behind? Priorities, people! Then there is EmmanuelBigombe, who regrets two decisions and has just decided to stick with Mr. Hands: “the rest of you can burn.” I believe there is a way to handle it.
In all, those are some troubling waters), and this quiz has bounced into the biggest discussion in the Cyberpunk community, marking the huge influence of Phantom Liberty’s storyline. The players get stuck in the characters, and speculations of the morality of their decisions go on until they start another playthrough to change the results. It’s obvious that CD Projekt Red produced something that hits so close to home that the warm feeling caused by the storyline leads to an uproar of emotion and opinion from the players themselves. So yeah, if you haven’t done the quiz yet, definitely knock it out, but be ready to tumble way, way down the fan theory rabbit hole. And if you haven’t played Phantom Liberty, what on earth are you doing?
The expansion mashes and rocks from start to finish and is worth immersing yourself in, despite the emotional tear stains it will leave behind. First thing, remember nothing ever is simple in Night City; every choice comes with a price to pay whether you’re ready for it or not.
