Cyberpunk 2077 Shards

A datashard, commonly abbreviated to shard, is an item in Cyberpunk 2077, which can contain various forms of information, including: text, images, maps, schematics, audio, videos and braindances. While there are a few shards used in quests which contain more than just textual information, the majority of those found in-game contain only text and can be picked up and optionally read for extra information or lore pertaining to the Cyberpunk universe. Each shard found in-game will be catalogued into the player's journal after being picked up. The player can choose to read them immediately or at a later time.

This is a catalogue of all shards in Cyberpunk 2077 organized by category. For locations and transcripts, please refer to the individual articles. For an alphabetical list, see Category:Cyberpunk 2077 Shard.
