Should You Skip Cutscenes in Cyberpunk 2077?

We don’t recommend skipping cutscenes or dialogue in Cyberpunk 2077, as you’ll miss out on core elements of the game’s story. That said, by skipping through, you can reduce the total amount of time it takes to beat the game. If you’ve started a new game instead of going straight to the Phantom Liberty DLC, you may want to skip cutscenes and dialogue to reach the DLC faster, as it unlocks partway through Act 2.
