Cyberpunk 2077 is a 2020 open-world RPG developed and published by CD Projekt Red. It centers around fictional Night City in a neon-covered tech future. Here\u2019s how to get it working on your Linux system.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Cyberpunk 2077 works on Linux, but only with the power of Valve\u2019s Steam Play technology. To get access to Steam Play, you will need to install the Steam for Linux client on your system.<\/p>\n

Install Steam<\/h3>\n

To install the Steam for Linux client on your system, start by opening up a terminal window on the desktop. You can open up a terminal window on the desktop by pressing\u00a0Ctrl + Alt + T\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>on the keyboard or by searching for \u201cTerminal\u201d in the app menu.<\/p>\n

Once the terminal window is open on the desktop, follow along with the installation instructions outlined below that correspond with the Linux OS you currently use.<\/p>\n

Ubuntu<\/h4>\n

On Ubuntu, the Steam application is easily installable via the software repositories included on the system. To install it on your system, make use of the\u00a0Apt\u00a0<\/strong>command below.<\/p>\n

\nsudo apt install steam\n<\/pre>\n
Debian<\/h4>\n
On Debian, you can install Steam on your computer through the default software repositories; however, it is much better to download Steam from Valve directly.\u00a0<\/p>\n
To download the latest Steam from Valve directly, make use of the following\u00a0wget\u00a0<\/strong>downloader command below. The\u00a0wget\u00a0<\/strong>tool will quickly grab the newest DEB release of Steam and put it in your home folder.<\/p>\n
\nwget https:\/\/steamcdn-a.akamaihd.net\/client\/installer\/steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
After downloading the latest Steam DEB package to your Debian Linux PC, the installation can begin. Using the\u00a0dpkg<\/strong> command below, install Steam on your Debian system.<\/p>\n
\nsudo dpkg -i steam.deb\n<\/pre>\n
During the installation of the Steam DEB package on Debian, you may have noticed some errors. To fix these errors, execute the command below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo apt-get install -f\n<\/pre>\n
Arch Linux<\/h4>\n
To get Steam working on Arch Linux, you will need to enable the\u00a0\u201cmultilib\u201d software repository. Once you\u2019ve set up the \u201cmultilib\u201d software repository on your computer, install Steam with the pacman\u00a0<\/strong>command below.<\/p>\n
\nsudo pacman -S steam\n<\/pre>\n
Fedora\/OpenSUSE<\/h4>\n
Both Fedora and OpenSUSE users can install Steam via an RPM package. However, this method of installation isn\u2019t great, especially for new users. Instead, we highly suggest following the Flatpak installation instructions.<\/p>\n
Flatpak<\/h4>\n
To get the Steam app working on your Linux PC, you will first need to enable the Flatpak runtime. To enable the Flatpak runtime on your system, please follow this guide on the subject.<\/p>\n
After setting up the Flatpak runtime, you must enable the Flathub app store. Flathub allows for Steam to be installed, so it is a must.<\/p>\n
\nflatpak remote-add --if-not-exists flathub https:\/\/flathub.org\/repo\/flathub.flatpakrepo\n<\/pre>\n
With Flathub configured, it\u2019s time to install Steam. Using the command below, get Steam working on your system.<\/p>\n
\nflatpak install flathub com.valvesoftware.Steam\n<\/pre>\n
Install Cyberpunk 2077 on Linux<\/h3>\n
Now that Steam is installed open up the app and log in with your user credentials. Once logged in, follow the step-by-step instructions down below to get Cyberpunk 2077 working on Linux.<\/p>\n
Step 1:\u00a0<\/strong>Find the \u201cSteam\u201d menu and click on it with the mouse. After that, select \u201cSettings\u201d to open up the Steam settings window. Inside this window, select \u201cSteam Play\u201d and check both \u201cEnable Steam Play for supported titles\u201d and \u201cEnable Steam Play for all other titles.\u201d<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 2:<\/strong> Find the \u201cStore\u201d page and click on it with the mouse. From there, look for the search box and type in \u201cCyberpunk 2077\u201d into the search box. Press the\u00a0Enter<\/strong> key to view the search results.<\/p>\n
Select \u201cCyberpunk 2077\u201d in the search results to access the game\u2019s Store page.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 3:<\/strong> On the Cyberpunk 2077 store page, click on the green \u201cAdd to cart\u201d button to buy it and add it to your account. Then, click on the \u201cLIBRARY\u201d button to go to your Steam game library.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 4:<\/strong> In the Steam game library, search for Cyberpunk 2077 and right-click on it with the mouse. In the right-click menu, select \u201cProperties\u201d to access the game\u2019s properties.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Inside the properties window, locate \u201cCompatibility.\u201d Then, check \u201cForce the use of a specific Steam Play compatibility tool.\u201d<\/p>\n
Step 5:<\/strong> Find the blue \u2018INSTALL\u201d button and click on it with the mouse to start the installation of the game on your Linux PC. The download may take a bit of time as Cyberpunk 2077 is quite huge.<\/p>\n
\"\"<\/p>\n
Step 6:<\/strong> When the download is complete, the blue button will become a green \u201cPLAY\u201d button. Select the \u201cPLAY\u201d button to start up the game. Enjoy Night City!<\/p>\n
