CD Projekt Red announced the launch of Cyberpunk 2077: Chrome Rush, a new combat racing title developed in partnership with UNISGames. The game recreates the franchise’s iconic settings, such as the Badlands and the districts of Night City, in an experience designed exclusively for arcade machines. Players sit in cabins that simulate moving plastic motorcycles, where riding is combined with actions to avoid rivals and face dynamic obstacles in the environment.

The announcement took place during Amusement Expo International in Las Vegas, between March 16 and 19, 2026, and reinforces the continued expansion of the Cyberpunk 2077 universe following the recent announcement of the Chrome Rush lets you choose between seven characters, including male and female versions of V, as well as eight futuristic motorcycles. The races take place on four maps inspired by the original game, with the possibility of ranged or melee attacks against opponents.

Participants speed along neonized tracks while avoiding parts of the scenery from falling on their bikes. Combat integrates gunfights and melee attacks directly into piloting, creating a mix of speed and intense action.

Technical features and game environments

The routes include places familiar to fans, such as the dangerous areas of Night City, where driving is only part of the dynamic. Players need to dodge competitors while dealing with interactive elements on the map.
