📋 About This Mod

Spawns real AVs into the skies of Night City

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Night City Skies adds a dynamic ambient AV traffic system to Cyberpunk 2077, spawning up to 100 physical AVs across 10 lore-friendly vehicle types with collision avoidance, takeoff/landing sequences, time/weather responsiveness, and performance options. Ideal for immersion-focused players wanting a living skyline; updated August 2026 with 76 endorsements and 9,503 downloads.

✨ Key Features

Simulates up to 100 active AVs simultaneously across 10 lore-friendly vehicle types, from heavy Zetatech Surveyor buses to nimble Militech combat drones.
Intelligent Flight AI includes advanced collision avoidance so AVs weave around skyscrapers, terrain, and each other instead of moving on rails.
AVs intelligently seek out valid landing pads and rooftops and perform vertical takeoffs and landings.
Traffic density shifts based on time of day, with heavy evening rush hours and quiet late nights, and weather grounds AVs during sandstorms, toxic rain, or dense fog.
Emergency AVs like Trauma Team and MaxTac fly faster and use sirens, while corporate stealth variants dynamically toggle optical camo.
Performance Optimized with customizable Level of Detail (LOD), culling distances, and flight-tick update rates to tailor CPU load.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved: 76 endorsements and 9,503 downloads prove this mod fills a real immersion gap.
  • Spawns up to 100 physical AVs at once — Night City's skyline finally feels alive instead of empty or scripted.
  • Time and weather reactivity means rush hour traffic and grounded AVs in sandstorms, making the city feel genuinely dynamic.

⚠️ Cons

  • Simulating up to 100 AVs with collision avoidance is CPU-intensive even with LOD and culling options — low-end rigs will struggle.
  • No compatibility notes for other vehicle or traffic mods, so conflicts with existing AV replacers or visual overhauls are possible.
  • Description doesn't list any required dependencies or install steps, leaving new modders to figure out Cyberpunk 2077 mod installation on their own.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Cyberpunk 2077 players who want a living, breathing skyline and spend time watching the world from rooftops or streets. Ideal for immersion junkies with mid-to-high-end PCs who enjoy tuning performance settings. Skip if you're on a low-end rig or don't care about ambient traffic.
📦 Install:Easy· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Install by extracting the mod archive into your Cyberpunk 2077 root folder, then boot the game and check for a mod settings menu to adjust the AV cap and LOD.
  • Start with the default 100 AV cap and drop it to 30-50 if you see framerate dips in dense areas like Corpo Plaza.
  • Disable any other AV or traffic mods before installing to avoid duplicate or conflicting spawns.
