A Cyberpunk 2077 PC contest has been announced and it’s got some huge prizes for creative gamers! If you really think you’ve nailed the aesthetic of Cyberpunk 2077, you could win big — and by “big”, I mean a brand-new gaming PC with a GeForce RTX 2080Ti Cyberpunk 2077 Edition inside.
The “Cyber-up your PC contest” is all about flexing your creative muscles. In short, participants will have to create a cyberpunk-style computer case and submit it on the contest website. The winner will score a neat gaming PC, and second through fifth place will get something else entirely — a gaming laptop and set of cool headphones.

What do you need to do for the Cyberpunk 2077 PC contest? The devs outline the following criteria:
- At least one part of the design has to be/include recycled material (for example, an old circuit board as decoration)
- The design has to follow one of our style guidelines, feature a megacorporation logo, or a gang logo from Cyberpunk 2077 (assets are available here)
- In Night City, the rich and the poor live right next to each other; make this contrast visible in your design
Participants will have to send in three images of the front, left, and right of their PC design. It doesn’t have to be an actual PC case, mind — it can simply be a digital mockup or drawing. From there, cast modding experts will build the five best designs and a winner will be chosen from that group.
