Photo Mode Challenge:

Phantom Liberty Edition

Nobody knows Night City better than the legends that rule it, so we want to see the best shots of the dark future coming from your lens. With three thrilling categories to be inspired by, take part in our Photo Mode Challenge for a chance to win Cyberpunk 2077 themed prizes.

RULES

Three categories means three chances to share your art with the world. Each category invites you to capture completely different aspects of the Cyberpunk 2077 world. Use the photography setting of your Kiroshis — aka the in-game Photo Mode — to take shots of your in-game experience.

Here’s what you need to keep in mind if you want to participate:

Do:

  • use the in-game Photo Mode only

  • use any and all features available in the Photo Mode

  • make sure your screenshot fits the theme of the chosen category

Do not:

  • further edit the screenshot using any software apart from flipping or cropping

  • submit more than one screenshot per category

Of all the entries submitted for each category, a jury consisting of CD PROJEKT RED team members will select three winning submissions. Their creators, in addition to eternal glory as Cyberpunk 2077 Photo Mode Challenge winners, will also receive a set of prizes!

Important: while it is possible to submit an entry in every category, an already crowned winner will not be able to claim another win — we want as many gamers as possible to have a shot at becoming a Night City photography legend.

The complete set of rules and regulations for the contest can be found here.

CATEGORIES

It’s all about having an eye for detail, and in this edition of the Photo Mode Challenge we’re looking for unique details in the following three categories:

Car Chases

Driving around Night City is never boring. Explosive vehicle combat, flaming wreckage of downed enemies, and the NCPD chasing trigger-happy gangers are all everyday sights on the streets. To win in this category, you may have to put your four (or two)-wheel drive through some damage, but it’ll all be worth it once you nail that shot!
Dogtown

Phantom Liberty's new location* is a lawless city-within-a-city filled with crime, crawling with cut-throat gangs, and riddled with secrets. So, the perfect place to do some street photography. Whether it be the smoke of burning streets, the buzz of Dogtown’s black market, or the neon lights of the Heavy Hearts nightclub, we want to see your coolest shots of the ex-corpo dreamland turned outlaw wasteland.
*location requires the Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty expansion
Netrunning

Netrunners might be some of the most sly characters around and we want you to expose their secrets. We’re looking for images of cyber-enhanced netrunners like Phantom Liberty’s Songbird, shots of tech-filled netrunner hideouts, and, if you’re up for the challenge, you could even photograph some netrunners in action. Anything connected to the Net counts in this one.

Prizes

So, what’s in it for you? Only Night City’s best photographers will find themselves on the podium, and those who do will receive exciting prizes (and street cred, of course). Take a look at what’s up for grabs!

5. HOW AND WHEN WILL WINNERS BE CHOSEN?

Winners will be chosen by a dedicated Cyberpunk 2077 Photo Mode Challenge jury. We’ll announce the winners on the game’s social media channels as well as on the challenge website within a month of the competition's submissions deadline.

9. WILL YOU USE SCREENSHOTS I SUBMITTED TO THE CONTEST LATER IN ANY WAY?

We will be sharing all winning screenshots across Cyberpunk 2077’s social media platforms and on the Photo Mode Challenge website when announcing the results of each challenge. We might also share other entries to highlight the amazing work and creativity of our community.

10. CAN I USE ANY COMMUNITY-CREATED MODS FOR CYBERPUNK 2077 WHEN COMPOSING MY SCREENSHOT? CAN I EDIT THE SCREENSHOT USING ANY GRAPHIC SOFTWARE BEFORE SUBMITTING?

Community-created mods are allowed to be featured in your screenshot, but they shouldn’t be the main focus of your submission and cannot drastically change the game (e.g. by swapping entire character models).
