The main storyline in Cyberpunk 2077 is featured by about 30 Main Jobs. Whether we like it or not, it is quite linear.
New Main Jobs will appear sequentially after completing the previous ones, some we will have to wait for while performing other activities in the game.
Only Nocturne OP551N Main Job as we approach the game finale decides how our adventure will end. The number of possible endings and epilogues is influenced by the choices made during this mission. In fact, it doesn't matter what we do from the beginning of the game until the beginning of this mission, how we behave and who we meet. But the number of possible endings is influenced by some Side Jobs which we will complete during the game.
Below you will find diagram describing the plot development, the sequence of Main Jobs and possible endings in Cyberpunk 2077.
On mobile devices, watch the chart below in landscape mode.

Corrections from Bread Bread
- Never Fade Away: Map layout and numbering indicates it takes place after Transmission, when in actuality it takes place during.
- Play It Safe: You cannot do this quest until finishing Transmission and Life During Wartime.
- Don't Fear (The Reaper): Holdin' On, A Like Supreme, Riders of the Storm, With a Little Help from My Friends, and Queen of the Highway aren't necessary.
- You also need either 70% friendship with Johnny and/or pick the correct dialogue options during Chippin' In. (the latter guarantees this quest will be available)
- You also need to pick Rogue's option, THEN wait for Johnny's plan.
Thanks to Bread Bread for the corrections.
