Romance

Romance is a gameplay mechanic in Cyberpunk 2077.

Background
In Cyberpunk 2077, V is able to romance or have intimate scenes with a number of characters in Night City.

Gameplay attributes
V must meet specific requirements in order to romance. Characters have their own preferences as to who they want to romance, dependent on V's body type of choice and gender-dependent voice. Life path or genitalia do not affect romance (for example you can romance Judy as a female V with a penis, as long as you have feminine body type and voice, and River will romance a male V as long as he has a feminine body type).

If V's body and voice match, they can pursue romances with two characters simultaneously with no consequences. Male V can romance both Panam and Kerry, while female V can romance both River and Judy. However, during the final mission Nocturne OP55N1, V will have to choose which of the two to call one last time. The character you choose is then considered V's primary romantic interest, and plays a role in the game's various endings.

Minor romances
Additionally, there are four joytoys in Night City V can have sex with, regardless of gender. Two (male and female) can be encountered on Jig Jig street, while two others (male and female) can be encountered at the bar in Dark Matter in Japantown (a location which opens up after the Kerry side job Off The Leash).

Endings
Only the romances involving Panam, Judy, River and Kerry have an impact on the endings, and it is possible for them to end their relationship with V depending on the path you choose.

If V calls Panam or Judy and then chooses the Aldecaldos ending ("The Star"), they will stay in a relationship with V and leave Night City together. However, if V calls River and Kerry, they will show up to the Watchtower but refuse to leave Night City, ending their relationship with V.

If V calls Judy and chooses either the Path of Glory ending ("The Sun") or the Arasaka ending ("The Devil"), Judy will eventually leave Night City and break up with V. If V calls Panam, River or Kerry, they will stay in a relationship with V and ask V to visit them in Night City when they return.

If V chooses Johnny's ending ("Temperance"), Johnny will ignore all romances and leave Night City, and the romanced character will leave angry voicemails on V's phone. If V chooses the suicide ending, all characters will be devastated and leave upset voicemails on V's phone.

If V's body and voice match and you have romanced two characters at once (either Panam and Kerry as male V, or Judy and River as female V), whoever you choose to call will lock the other one out of the endings. This means the secondary love interest will not show up to the Watchtower ("The Star"), or wake up with V in bed ("The Sun"), or call V while they are in space ("The Devil"). They will only appear in the credits with the other characters, and their voicemail is no different then if V never romanced them in the first place.
