How to Level Up Fast (and Max Level)
There are many ways to gain experience in Cyberpunk 2077 that will increase V's overall level, Street Cred level, and Attributes levels. This section of the guide will teach you the best ways to level up fast, as well as provide the max levels for V. When you level up you'll increase your overall level as well as earn Attribute Points and Skill Points that you can use to level up your Attributes and skill tree. This page has been updated for Cyberpunk 2.0.

What is the Max Level in Cyberpunk 2077?
The max level for V in Cyberpunk 2077 is 60, up from 50 after the 2.0 update. This is your overall character level and a direct result of the XP you obtain while completing various jobs in the story.
Your max Street Cred level, on the other hand, is 50. This acts as V's reputation, allowing you to access special weapons and gear, as well as new vendors. You'll gain Street Cred by completing many of the side jobs, gigs, and NCPD tasks while exploring Night City.

The max Attribute level is 20. This includes Body, Reflexes, Technical Ability, Intelligence, and Cool. Since you get 1 Attribute Point every time you increase V's level (for a total of 50), you won't be able to max out every Attribute, so be sure to choose wisely.
How to Level Up Fast
The easiest way to gain XP fast and level up quickly is by completing the Main Jobs provided to you. These are the story missions in Cyberpunk 2077 and will offer the most XP, however, they are generally longer than other missions.
Alternatively, you can earn a decent chunk of XP by completing Side Jobs and Gigs. These offer less XP than Main Jobs, but are far more abundant and take less time to complete.
You can view all your available Jobs and Gigs by opening your Journal.
Be sure to complete the various NCPD tasks that pop up around Night City as you explore as well. These aren't tracked in your journal and occur randomly, but are very quick to complete and generally have you dispatching a group of enemies. Completing these tasks will reward you with Street Cred and XP.
Another great way to gain XP in Cyberpunk is by finding a reliable farming spot. YouTuber Radical Dave Gaming did just that with a spot by the pier in Pacifica!
To get to this location, start from the Batty's Hotel fast travel point in Pacifica (it's located right near the Chapel fast travel point on its western side).
From here, take one of your vehicles down the road toward the water and continue following the road as it curves left. Follow this road until there's a path on your right you can take onto the beach. Hop out here, and you'll see several groups of enemies camped out along the shoreline. Equip your weapon, and get ready to rumble, picking up the weapons and gear that they drop along the way.
When you've cleared the area, head back over to your vehicle and drive underneath the pier, then do a full turnaround to head back to the beach. It will have reloaded with enemies again, so you can keep going!
How to View Your Level in Cyberpunk 2077
When you open your main menu, you'll see your overall level and Street Cred level in the top left corner. However, if you want to know exactly how much XP you need to reach the next tier of each it's a bit trickier to find. Navigate to the Character tab and click on the Stats button below it.
On the Stats screen, you'll see a detailed breakdown of your character's stats, as well as how much XP is needed to increase your overall level and Street Cred levels on the left side of the screen.
