Wait and Skip Time in Cyberpunk 2077

Just like in The Witcher 3, there are certain missions that will require you to be at a certain time of day before you can actually attempt them. Instead of just waiting around till it’s the right time of day, though, you can make use of an in-game feature to speed things up.

To do this, press the touchpad on PS4 or the View button on Xbox One to bring up the character menu. From there, select the Skip Time option near the bottom of the screen, and you’ll be able to choose how many hours you want to pass.

Once you’ve made your selection, press the X or A button again to confirm, and time will speed ahead to whatever you picked. You’ll then be able to explore Night City in the day or night, or whenever you choose, and attempt the relevant missions.

Of course, you won’t be able to make use of this feature if you’re in combat or in pursuit. Aside from that, there don’t seem to be any major repercussions or negative side effects from using the skip time feature, so feel free to use it as many times as you need over the course of your playthrough.

That’s all you need to know about how to wait and skip time in Cyberpunk 2077. Be sure to check our guide wiki for more tips and information on the game.
