Cyberpunk 2077's cyberpsychosis — the idea that too many implants destroys your humanity — is a fan-debated fiction, and one theory says Arasaka invented the myth to control people.

Theory Briefing

  • Cyberpsychosis in Cyberpunk 2077 is presented as a medical condition where cybernetic overload drives people to violent madness.
  • A fan theory argues cyberpsychosis is not a real illness in the game's world but a corporate myth spread by Arasaka to suppress body modification.
  • The theory reframes every "cyberpsycho" encounter as a social control story, not a medical one — violence explained away to protect corporate power.
  • Edgerunners 2 fan speculation has reignited the debate about whether the lore will confirm or challenge the cyberpsychosis premise.
