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

While there's only a one-night stand awaiting you if you want to romance Meredith in Cyberpunk 2077, doing so doesn't block you from wooing other characters in Night City, so why not have some fun with Millitech's icy agent?

She may seem extremely standoffish and uninterested when you first meet Meredith, but fear not, there is a way to make her a minor romance option in Cyberpunk 2077, whether you're playing as a female or male V. Actually, on second thought, maybe you should still keep a little bit of fear after your rendezvous—this is Meredith, after all.

To make sure you don't annoy Meredith too much and score that one night alone with her, this Cyberpunk 2077 Meredith Stout romance guide has you covered. Just be wary of some spoilers below.

Meredith Stout is interested in both male and female Vs, so you're in with a chance here no matter what choice you made during Cyberpunk 2077 character customisation. However, Meredith isn't one of the main romance options, so even if you're successful in putting on the charm, you'll only end up having a one-time encounter with her. If you've got something more long-term in mind, you'll need to look elsewhere.

You'll first have the opportunity to meet Meredith during The Pickup main story quest when you have the choice of meeting with her before heading to the All Foods Warehouse. It's possible to skip this meeting with Meredith altogether, as it's an optional step that can be ignored for the purposes of the quest. But if you want to start something with her, it's probably a good idea to at least let her know you exist, so start with giving Meredith a call and head to the meeting place.

You'll be offered various dialogue options during your meeting with Meredith, but it doesn't matter which you choose. It also doesn't seem to matter whether you accept her infected credchip or not.

Next, head to the All Foods Warehouse to continue with the mission. There will be some very important decisions to make here which will affect your chances of getting some alone time with Meredith later:

If you refused the infected credchip: Shoot Cyberpunk 2077's Royce during the conversation with him.
If you accepted the infected credchip: Either buy the Flathead with the infected credchip OR shoot Royce during the conversation.

All of these scenarios mean that after you escape the gang's hideout, you'll get an additional mission objective to talk to Meredith and she'll arrive in a car shortly after. Later in the game, Meredith will contact you and suggest meeting at a motel. Obviously you want to agree to this, so head to the No-Tell Motel—press J to bring up your mission log and track the 'Venus in Furs' quest for the exact location—and Meredith will be waiting for you in room 6.

There is no option to enter into a long-term romance with Meredith Stout and you'll simply receive a text message from her after the hook-up. Harsh!

In 2021, she was offered a full-time position on the PC Gamer team where she takes every possible opportunity to talk about World of Warcraft and Elden Ring. When not writing guides, most of her spare time is spent in Azeroth—though she's quite partial to JRPGs too. One of her fondest hopes is to one day play through the ending of Final Fantasy X without breaking down into a sobbing heap. She probably has more wolves in Valheim than you.
