What This Actually Is
When people search for Cyberpunk 2077 Gameplay Ending No Commentary, they're usually looking for one of two things: raw footage to edit into their own videos, or just a clean look at how the different endings play out without a streamer talking over everything. The second use case is probably what brought you here. Either way, the process isn't as simple as recording your own playthrough. There are a few ways to get clean ending footage. Some people use console recording features and mute the mic. Some download existing no-commentary videos and extract just the ending segments. A smaller number of people actually mod the game to strip audio entirely. Each method has real tradeoffs that nobody really talks about. When I was pulling together ending footage for a friend who was editing a comparison video, I hit a wall pretty quickly. The in-game cutscenes during endings have a lot of ambient audio — wind, distant traffic, Jodie's voice breathing — that wasn't part of any commentary track. Muting the microphone doesn't remove that. You're still stuck with a video where the music swells at exactly the wrong moment because the original composer's mix plays at full volume underneath.
The workaround I ended up using was straightforward enough. I found a no-commentary YouTube upload of each ending, then I pulled the audio stem using a tool like Audacity or even iZotope RX Elements if you have it. I isolated the voice track, removed any stragglers, and replaced the music bed with something royalty-free that fit the mood better. Took about forty minutes per ending. Not glamorous but it gets the job done. Now here's the thing most people miss. Cyberpunk's ending sequences aren't just one continuous cutscene. There are loading dividers between certain segments, especially on the base game before the 2.0 update. If you grab a full no-commentary video, those dividers will show up in your footage unless you trim them out. The 2.0+ versions smoothed some of this over but not all of it. Check your source material first.
Getting the Footage
The most common route is downloading from YouTube. Uploads like "Cyberpunk 2077 All Endings No Commentary" tend to run anywhere from eighteen to forty-five minutes depending on which ending you're targeting. The Phantom Liberty endings add another layer of complexity since they diverge significantly from the base game conclusions. For extraction, I'd recommend using a dedicated video downloader rather than a browser extension. Browser tools tend to grab lower quality streams or miss the full resolution. A proper downloader lets you pick the 1080p or 4K version directly. Resolution matters more than you'd think for ending footage because the lighting work in those scenes is genuinely well done and you'll want to preserve it. There's also the option of recording it yourself if you own the game. This is actually the cleanest source if you have a capture card. Direct game output means no re-encoding, no compression artifacts, and you can skip straight to whichever ending you want. Saves you from hunting through someone else's upload.

What People Get Wrong
The biggest mistake I see is assuming all no-commentary videos are actually comment-free. A lot of streamers upload videos labeled "no commentary" when they're just wearing a dead mic or muffled by chat interaction noise. The background audio isn't cleaned — it's just quieter. You'll notice it when you're editing and suddenly hear someone saying "what do you think guys" at thirty percent volume during a quiet emotional moment. Another pitfall is the Phantom Liberty endings. The Dogtown expansion has its own ending sequence that isn't included in standard "all endings" compilations. If you need the Kenji ending footage specifically, you have to find a separate upload. These tend to be less reviewed and lower quality. Budget accordingly. Video length expectations also matter. Each ending runs roughly three to seven minutes depending on which path you take. The Sun and Temperance endings tend to be longer due to the additional cutscenes. Don't plan on getting everything in under twenty minutes total unless you're combining multiple paths.
When This Approach Falls Apart
No-method footage isn't always the right call. If you're making commentary content about the endings themselves, having no audio at all defeats the purpose. You'll spend more time replacing audio than you would have just recorded over it. In those cases, using the game's built-in photo mode for stills and recording with muted narration works better. Another limitation: YouTube's compression algorithm crushes the HDR color grading in the ending sequences. If you're working from a YouTube download, you'll lose a significant amount of the visual fidelity that makes those endings look distinct from the rest of the game. This is especially noticeable in the Devil ending with all the neon colors. If visual quality is your priority, self-recording through a capture card is the only reliable path. I should mention that some of the more popular no-commentary uploads have been taken down for copyright reasons, mostly due to the soundtrack. The game's music rights are complicated and YouTube takes them down periodically. What was available last month might not be there today, so don't treat any specific link as permanent.
Quick Technical Notes
If you're editing these clips, ProRes or DNxHR export will keep the footage usable through multiple generations. H.264 or H.265 from a YouTube source is already compressed once, so exporting to another codec just compounds the artifacting. It's noticeable in shadow areas during darker ending sequences. Frame rate matching matters too. Cyberpunk runs at a variable frame rate on most systems even when you cap it. Some of those YouTube uploads are 30fps, some are 60fps depending on when the creator recorded. Make sure your timeline matches the source or you'll get judder during panning shots, which are frequent in the ending sequences. The game's New Game Plus carries over some visual differences between endings. A second playthrough through the same path won't look identical to the first due to subtle character model variations and dialogue tree outputs. If you need consistency across multiple ending clips, stick to a single save file and don't reload from backups.
Most of this is straightforward once you know what to watch for. The process itself takes maybe thirty minutes from start to finished clip if you've done it before. First time through, expect an hour or two as you figure out which uploads are actually clean and which ones have hidden audio problems.
