The Cyberpunk 2077 Character Creation meme gained massive traction following the game’s highly anticipated launch in late 2020. This meme typically involves placing the game’s distinctive yellow-and-black HUD and attribute sliders over images of eccentric real-life people, animals, or odd fashion choices, implying they were designed using the game's deep customization tools. It satirizes both the extensive hype surrounding the game's next-gen immersion and the often bizarre visual glitches or unique aesthetics found in the Night City universe. It serves as a versatile template for highlighting weird aesthetics or 'futuristic' failures in the real world, turning any strange photo into a playable protagonist.
