Night City is in Cyberpunk 2077 the dystopian, futuristic city where your protagonist asserts themselves. However, some fans have taken issue with one aspect and believe they have found the culprit.
What problem do fans have in Night City? User Double_School5149 made an observation on Reddit after taking a closer look at Night City. Generally, it’s about the layout of the city, as he had trouble finding a parking space. If Americans had designed the game, there would be many more parking spaces, as they take up about 22% of urban areas in the USA according to the user.
Instead, he has to park on the street and even maneuver around railings. For him, the culprits are clearly the Europeans, as there are hardly any proper parking opportunities. The post has received much agreement, as seen in the 3159 upvotes (as of July 30, 2025).
You can hardly find a parking space
What exactly do fans have to say? The Reddit user improperbenadryl responded with an old interview of the developers of SimCity to Double_School5149’s observation. In it, they stated that parking spaces take up way too much room in the real world. This would make the game world duller if parking spaces were generated proportionally to the surrounding city.
Others agree with the interview and compare it to the American city of Houston in Texas. User iTzJdogxD joked: “Houston, Texas, has 30 parking spaces for every resident,” a statement that many players agree with.
SuperMajesticMan also confirms the statement from the interview and says: “Moreover, countless parking spaces everywhere would be ugly and boring. Just like in US cities, lol.”
Although Europeans aren’t known for their wide SUVs and large amounts of parking spaces, Night City offers many details thanks to the designers to draw you into the world of Cyberpunk 2077.
Cyberpunk 2077 wasn’t always the strong RPG in the futuristic world of Night City. The developers faced a lot of criticism, but after several years of hard work, their efforts have paid off: Cyberpunk 2077 achieves major success on Steam 4 years after the rough launch – developers can hardly believe it
