NightCoop Release Status and Open Beta Timing
Track the official NightCoop release stage, reported open beta timing and the points that still need confirmation before installation.
Status for October 22, 2026
The official NightCoop page reviewed on October 22, 2026 says the project is still in closed testing and that download availability is not yet open.
That is the primary status statement for this page. A search result, social post or reposted file does not override it.
Reported open beta timing
Recent media reports mention an open beta beginning on October 23, 2026 at 15:00 UTC.
This timing is currently a media-reported claim, not an official confirmation from the NightCoop page reviewed for this article. Treat it as pending until the official site or an explicitly confirmed NightCoop channel publishes the same information.
Before installing anything on that date:
- Reopen the official NightCoop site.
- Confirm that downloads are actually available.
- Confirm the supported Cyberpunk 2077 version.
- Confirm the NightCoop build every player should use.
- Confirm the RED4ext requirement and source.
Download status
Do not link to a download until an official NightCoop source exposes one. It is not enough for a file to use the NightCoop name or appear in a recent search result.
Use these rules:
- Official source visible: record the URL and date.
- Official source says testing only: do not mark downloads as available.
- Media report only: label the date or download claim as unverified.
- Third-party mirror: do not present it as official.
Known compatibility statement
The official page lists Cyberpunk 2077 patch 2.31 as the supported game version for the information reviewed here.
That statement should be checked again when a new NightCoop build is released. A new mod build and a new Cyberpunk 2077 patch can require a fresh compatibility statement.

What has not changed yet
