Cyberpunk 2077 players discover hidden vehicle feature we never knew about

Cyberpunk 2077 is the gift that just keeps on giving, but I kind of wish I knew about this gift a couple of years ago so navigating the dark streets of the appropriately named Night City could have been a little easier.

So, turns out, vehicles in CD Projekt RED’s Cyberpunk 2077 have headlights. That’s not the “hidden vehicle feature” by the way, before you close the page and start writing up an angry post in the Facebook comment section.

If you press left on the d-pad on consoles or V on PC, your headlights will turn on. Pretty standard stuff that I think most of us knew about. Once again that is NOT the secret, stop typing the angry comment. I SEE YOU.

There's also a Cyberpunk 2077 board game to extend your adventures through Night City.

The bit I didn’t realise is that when you have a vehicle that sports fancy rims, like for instance when you’re on a motorbike, your tyres will glow and light up the road.

I’m not sure if I just never clocked this one because of the direction the camera faces, which would obscure the lights on your tyres, but this is 100% news to me.

You know, sometimes when I learn about stuff like this, I feel genuinely pretty stupid - especially when I’ve played this game for like 100+ hours.

Then I check the comment section and see everyone who is equally surprised, and thankfully I start to feel a little less silly.

In a thread titled, “I was today years old when I learned you can turn your tires on”, on the r/cyberpunkgame subreddit, a bunch of the comments from other players reveal that most were clearly just as clueless as I was.

“There's a f**king headlight key?” replied user Flimsy_Adhesiveness7, “500 hours in I'm just finding out”

Amongst the comments from folks simply stating “HOW” was one reply that made me feel a lot better though.

“I believe this came in an update sometime after 1.5 but before 2.0 I think. Don't quite remember,” stated user Sinsanatis.

I’m not gonna Google which patch the game was on by the time I played it and just assume that this is the reason why, for my sake.
