“I Really Want to Stay At Your House” isn’t just a bop; it’s the name of a Cyberpunk 2077 side job added in the 2.1 update. This job adds one of the most requested features to the game—the ability to hang out with romantic partners freely in V’s apartment.
Read our guide below to learn how to start and properly complete I Really Want to Stay At Your House in Cyberpunk 2077.
How to start “I Really Want to Stay At Your House” side job in Cyberpunk 2077
Starting this new side job is simultaneously the easiest and most troublesome part of I Really Want to Stay At Your House. Before this job becomes available, you must have romanced at least one of the romance options in Cyberpunk 2077. It doesn’t matter who your partner (or partners, we don’t judge) is; all that matters is that you have one.Â
Shortly after booting Cyberpunk 2077 version 2.1, you will receive a text message from your romantic partner. The text will mention wanting to stay at your house—and again, they’re talking about the activity, not the song. You don’t need to do anything special to trigger this text message; it should come within just the first few minutes of launching the game after the update.
The text will have the subject line “Do you have time?” (Side note: Why do text messages have subject lines in this game?) It doesn’t matter how you respond to the message. You will only need to choose which apartment you want to hang out in if you own multiple.

If you mustered up the energy to respond to a text message, the hard part is over. Track the job from your journal, and you will be led to whichever of your owned apartments you selected as the hang-out spot. When you get there, your partner will already be waiting for you—and there are several different things you can do during your date.
How to dance
If you go to the center of V’s apartment, you can begin dancing, and your partner will join you if you do. Fair warning—if you thought V’s dancing was weird and awkward when you danced with Alex during the Phantom Liberty DLC, prepare to have your mind blown. Dancing during I Really Want to Stay At Your House is almost physically painful.
How to cuddle and talk
If you sit on the couch next to your partner, you can ask them any of the same questions you can during a phone call. However, since you are now in the same room, you also have the dialogue option to cuddle. Once you start cuddling, you can kiss your partner as well. However, things don’t escalate from there. This is a family game, after all.
After kissing your partner while cuddling on the couch, your only dialogue option is to stop cuddling. However, standing up from the couch and then sitting back down, you can replay the cuddling sequence.
How to sleep with your partner
Get your mind out of the gutter—there aren’t any steamy cutscenes, and by “sleep,” I mean sleep. You can go to bed and sleep as usual, except your partner will be involved in the cutscene this time.
Some players have experienced a bug with Panam in this quest where her body is invisible. The only current fix is to ensure that you don’t have any downloaded mods affecting her appearance, or looking at the mirror will occasionally trigger her body to reload into the scene.
When you wake up, they will lie on the bed next to you, and you can kiss them on the neck while they sleep. Even after standing up, your partner will still be lying in bed; it’s pretty cute if you ignore that the bed is still made and they’re lying on top of the blankets.
How to replay I Really Want to Stay At Your House
The date ends in the way most dates end—by walking out of the apartment that you own while leaving your partner in the place alone with Nibbles the Cat. After you leave, your partner will text you and say how lovely the evening was. Respond however you wish, and then close your phone. When you reopen your phone, the initial text message “Do you have time?” will be highlighted as though you have received a new message.
Open the text message, and you can send the single most cringey text message ever sent—”Been missin ya lately…got any time for little old me?”
Unfortunately, this is the only option to hang out with your partner again. If you wanted your V to have game, well, that’s too bad. After you send the text message, your partner will say they’ll let you know as soon as they’re free, and I Really Want to Stay At Your House will be added back to your Journal. After two days, your partner will be free for another date. This process can be repeated as many times as you wish.
We haven’t had time yet to test out every apartment in Cyberpunk 2077. Different locations affect date activity options, but it stands to reason that you can do different things in different spaces. Since the job can be replayed as often as you want, I recommend choosing different locations each time.
So, there you have it. You know everything you need to complete the I Really Want to Stay At Your House quest in Cyberpunk 2077. Good luck!
