📝 Description
A modern marvel, the Neuroport is a cyberware control package loaded with extras, ranging from a holophone to a HUD display. The Neuroport is considered so safe and unobtrusive that most children are fitted with one. Learning to use it is part of many primary school curriculums.
Early installation is linked with better outcomes in adulthood, and the reverse is true as well. Those not installed with a Neuroport are at a disadvantage to their peers.
2070s Standard
By the 2070s, nearly everyone in Night City has a Neuroport installed. It replaces the Neural Link from the RED era.
