Cyberpunk 2077 has four difficulty settings: Easy, Normal, Hard, and Very Hard. The Normal difficulty is the default option and provides a balanced experience that is neither too easy nor too hard. If you are new to the game, Normal is a good place to start as it allows you to try things out and have fun. However, if you want to make use of the complex systems in the game, the hardest difficulty is usually the way to go.
On Hard and Very Hard difficulties, combat will be a substantial challenge, and players will need to invest in the best skills and cyberware to survive. Enemies will be more aggressive, and players will need to use the environment for cover and protection during intense battles. If you want to experience the story without worrying about tough combat encounters, Easy is the best option.
Players can change the difficulty at any time during their playthrough by pausing the game, selecting the Settings menu, clicking the Gameplay Difficulty slider, and confirming the new chosen difficulty setting.
