New Cyberpunk 2077 Quest Mod Lets Players Tour Night City as a Musician

If the brief moment you spend on stage with Samurai during the Cyberpunk 2077 main story left you wanting more, a new fan-made project is looking to fill that void. The ‘Guitar Gigs Across Night City’ mod expands the RPG’s musical side, allowing V to embark on a career across six different performance venues throughout the city. Rather than simply acting as a one-off set piece, the mod introduces a progression system that lets players unlock new stages, draw larger crowds, and earn in-game rewards.

Taking the Stage in Night City

While the mod builds upon existing animations and assets from the base game, it adds custom cinematics, including backstage interactions with Johnny Silverhand. The experience is designed to feel like a recurring side activity; once a player has performed at a venue for the first time, they are free to return and play there again at their leisure. The creator has even included the ability for users to import their own MP3 files to create custom setlists. While V’s on-stage animations will not perfectly sync with custom tracks—meaning you might be playing complex guitar solos that don’t match your character’s hand movements—it offers a unique level of creative freedom for fans of the game’s aesthetic.

Technical Requirements

As is common with script-heavy mods for Cyberpunk 2077, this release requires a specific set of foundational tools to function correctly. Players will need to have ArchiveXL, AudioXL, Codeware, RED4ext, Redscript, and TweakXL installed. An optional add-on, ‘Playable Guitar Weapon – Play Your Songs,’ is also available for those who want to carry their instrument with them while exploring the world outside of the scripted gig locations.

Why it matters

For Cyberpunk 2077 players, this mod represents a significant expansion of the game’s immersive roleplaying elements, turning a static background activity into a repeatable gameplay loop. It gives dedicated fans a way to extend their time in Night City by focusing on the game’s music culture, which has been a standout feature since the game’s launch.

Since this is a PC-based mod, it is only available to players on that platform and requires a robust set of underlying frameworks to run. If you are planning to dive into the Night City music scene, ensure your mod loader is up to date with the required dependencies, as the stability of these complex interactions relies heavily on the latest versions of these community tools.
