Summary <\/p>\n
Thematically, Cyberpunk 2077's Night City can be quite a dark place, with various criminal factions looking to stab each other in the back to gain control, while many are just fighting for any gigs and scraps they can get to survive, no matter how dirty the deed may be. There is one hidden feature that can make the futuristic city even darker; however, this is in a far more literal sense. <\/p>\n
As shared to the r\/cyberpunkgame Subreddit, there is a switch hidden in plain sight on a sidewalk in Westbrook, with a message that reads \"Don't press me after dark!\" above it. Of course, this reverse psychology is practically begging those with a curious mind to push the button, and while nothing happens during the day, if they do this any time at night, many of the lights will go out across Night City, plunging entire streets into darkness, with only select buildings' lights illuminating the way. <\/p>\n
This hidden feature wasn't in the launch version of Cyberpunk 2077, and was added as part of its 1.5 patch in February 2022 alongside the game's next-gen upgrade, which brought new lighting features and graphics modes. <\/p>\n
The nearest fast travel point to the switch is Republic & Vine. <\/p>\n
In a game as long and complex as Cyberpunk 2077, it can be frustrating to face unexpected consequences hours after making a small decision. <\/p>\n
Once the light switch is activated and Night City is plunged into darkness, the message above it - which remains illuminated - changes. Instead of its previous warning, the text changes to various song lyrics, with the example shown in the video being \"Turn out the lights, the party's over\" from the Willie Nelson song, The Party's Over. <\/p>\n
As spotted by Redditor MockingBirdBox, all of the lyrics the light switch displays are as follows: <\/p>\n
The lights don't come back on automatically, giving players a chance to explore the entire city with this newfound ambiance. Fortunately, this is ultimately undone each time Cyberpunk 2077's day and night cycle resets, so players don't need to worry about having to find the switch each time they want to turn the power back on. Still, it's a fun feature to have and can make exploring Night City at night feel even more atmospheric and somewhat intimidating, with more shadows for potential threats to be lurking in. <\/p>\n
While its story is certainly engaging, Cyberpunk 2077 is absolutely filled to the brim with hidden features and Easter eggs like this one for those who want to explore Night City. It may not change the game drastically, but they're fun components that reward those who spend more hours going off the beaten path or curiously pushing buttons. <\/p>\n
