WHAT IS IT?
Cyberpunk 2077 is an open-world, action-adventure story set in Night City, a megalopolis obsessed with power, glamour and body modification. You play as V, a mercenary outlaw going after a one-of-a-kind implant that is the key to immortality.

WHAT WE SAY:
Avoid.

• Mature, violent cyber-dystopian action game for adults only.
  
• Cyberpunk 2077 is a first-person open-world action game for the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Serieds X/S, Google Stadia, and Windows PCs. 
  
• Players take on the role of V,  who works as a freelance mercenary, roaming the streets of Night City taking on shady jobs for civilians, gangs, and even the police that typically involve a bit of hacking and a lot of gunplay. V is in the process of slowly building a reputation when their life is turned upside down by an advanced piece of technology that inserts a human construct of a long dead terrorist into their brain. Now they must race to understand the technology before it completely overwrites their personality. 
• Players will see plenty of intense, blood, and gory violence in which players use guns, grenades, knives, and blunt objects to viciously attack and kill human enemies. Innocents can be victims of crossfire or purposely targeted by the player. 
  
• Full frontal nudity occurs frequently within the game, including sex scenes.
  
• Players will interact with prostitutes called "joytoys," encounter a wide variety of sex toys in shops, homes, and even on the street, and hear sexually-charged dialogue.​

SAFETY TIPS TO CONSIDER:

• This game is not for anyone under 18!
  
• However safety tips to consider when gaming and online might be:
  
• Families can talk about sex, gender, and body image in games. ​
• Make sure that children and young people always use their device in a room whereby adults are present.
• Discuss 'friends' - there is no such thing as an 'internet friend'. Encourage children and young people to only engage with other users whom adults know in the 'real-world', and that they know and trust.
• Use protection settings, such as time limitations, or only allow social media usage with parental guidance.
• Outline clear rules for your children. Pay attention to their development. As they get older, they should generally be given more freedom.
• Communication will also become more important as children get older. Explain that you are not trying to control them but want to agree upon a set of ground rules.
• Try to stay up-to-date on Internet trends and best practices.
• Talk to your children about the risks of disclosing personal data.
• Have open discussions with children and young people about the topics associated with online use - bullying, grooming, sexual and criminal exploitation, body image, as well as accessing support and how to report.
