June 2025: Now that Cyberpunk 2077 has made its way into Nintendo households via the Switch 2, we've gave this page another update to make sure everything's accurate and up to date.

You can romance Judy in Cyberpunk 2077 if you meet the right voice and body requirements, but you also need to make sure you select the correct dialogue choices to enter into a relationship, or just have one NSFW night, with Night City's best braindance editor.

While you meet Judy fairly early on in the main story of Cyberpunk 2077, you have to wait until Act 2 before you can properly start wooing her. Then, as you progress with her questline, it's important to make the right choice on the Pisces mission to take your relationship to the next level.

So if you've got your heart set on Judy as your Cyberpunk 2077 romance option, but aren't quite sure how to impress her, this is the guide for you. It should be noted that there are spoilers below, but if you're ready to get started with how to romance Judy Alvarez in Cyberpunk 2077, read on.

Before we go any further you should know that Judy will only be interested in getting romantic with V if they have a female voice tone and female body type—if you meet those requirements, you're good to go. That said, there is a mod that now means you can romance her if you're a male V, too.

You'll first meet Judy at Lizzie's Bar in Watson during The Heist story mission but it will be a while before you see her again. So let's fast forward to Act 2 where you'll encounter her when you're searching for Evelyn during the Automatic Love story quest. A few more missions that include Judy will follow on from this, so you should carry on with those until you receive the Double Life main story quest.

Once that's complete, wait about 24 hours and you'll receive a call from Judy which will begin her questline, starting with Both Sides, Now.

From this point on, you'll receive more missions from Judy as you complete each one so it's worth keeping an eye on your phone so you don't miss one. After Both Sides, Now, you'll get the Ex-Factor, then Talkin' 'Bout A Revolution missions, which is where you'll want to start paying attention to the choices you make. You must agree to help Judy when prompted or the rest of the questline will be locked out, including the option to romance Judy.

With those quests out of the way, you'll receive the Pisces mission a little while later and you'll need to tackle the Cyberpunk 2077 Pisces choice. There are a few timed options that you'll need to deal with here so it might be a good idea to do a manual save before you start the Pisces side mission.

Basically, make sure you either refuse to go along with Maiko's plan. or if you do, don't accept the payment that Maiko offers you.

Once you've successfully finished the Pisces mission, wait for 24 more hours and you'll receive Judy's final quest, Pyramid Song. This is the point where you'll get to be with her—just be sure to give Judy attention whenever you can and hug or kiss Judy when you're given the option. After you've gotten close, you'll be given the chance to start a long-term relationship with Judy, or keep it as a one-off encounter.

If you're keen to spend even more time with Judy after this point, as long as you have the 2.1 update or later installed, you can experience Romance Hangouts with her at any of V's apartments (except in Dogtown) after you've completed Judy's romance questline.
