Cyberpunk 2077 has been out for a little while now and you might be wondering what the Max Level is if you’re jumping back in after the recent game-changing update from CDPR.

As it stands, Cyberpunk 2077 has a level cap placed on Level 50. This might seem a little low and you’re not wrong. There’s enough stuff to do in Cyberpunk 2077 for you to almost double the current max level!

That being said, it does mean that it’s easier to hit max level in Cyberpunk 2077 than quite a few of its competitors. This gives the game a better sense of progression and you’ll find yourself actually aiming for something while you’re playing.

It also encourages you to try out new characters on different playthroughs and different character builds. If there’s one thing CDPR did right in Cyberpunk 2077 it’s adding depth to character build and the lower max level cap means you have to make sure every decision you make counts.

Fast XP Tips & Tricks

If you’re here looking for exploits, you’ve come to the wrong place. We’re talking about Crafting.

Crafting in Cyberpunk 2077 is one way to get a lot of XP fast and make a real dent in your quest for max level in-game. It also is a good way to get a few extra Eddies while you’re levelling up too!

You will find schematics dotted about and in most stores in Night City and as long as you’re a “looter” as well as a “shooter”, you should have quite a few crafting materials knocking about.

Of course, the higher the rarity of item the more XP you’re getting per item so crafting Uncommon/Rare items is worth your time even more.

This isn’t to say you should solely spend your time crafting but even if you prefer the Side Missions and Activities, throwing a few things together in-between is a great way to boost your XP gain with minimal effort.
