Theory Briefing

  • A fan theory with 740K views claims cyberpsychosis in Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is not a biological condition but a social or systemic construct.
  • The theory reframes the game's central threat — chrome-induced madness — as something the world's power structures may be manufacturing or misrepresenting.
  • Cyberpunk 2077's lore uses cyberpsychosis to justify violence against the augmented underclass, making the 'not real' reading a pointed political claim.
