Not too long ago, CD Projekt Red shadow-dropped the PS5 and Xbox Series X versions ofCyberpunk 2077, as well as thelong-awaited Patch 1.5. The new versions and update did a lot to bring the game up to speed, with many claiming that this is how the game should have launched. It also seems the patch added a ton of new secrets to the game.
One player, known as Makavelinow on Reddit, has potentially discovered one of those secrets inCyberpunk 2077. It’s not clear if it all of this connects to something bigger, but it’s definitely a little confusing.

Makavelinow found a new NPC inCyberpunk 2077, one with a little more time and attention put into them than the non-story NPCs, crying on a dock. Upon approaching the NPC, they say nothing and do nothing—almost as if there was nothing to do with this character. It certainly doesn’t track like any normalquest inCyberpunk 2077.However, upon searching the area, it seems they are crying because they dropped something in the water.
Players can dive down and pick up the item, which turns out to be a key instead of a phone or something. Upon returning the key to the NPC, they will then thank them and pull out their phone. As Makavelinow shows, if players zoom in on their phone, there appears to be some important code. Now, whether that code goes anywhere or not is the big question. It could be nothing, marking just anodd encounter inCyberpunk 2077. Or, it could play some mystery—it would make more sense for it to mean something given the odd circumstances.
For now, it remains to be seen, but several communities have thrived on a game’s mystery.Red Dead Redemption 2players, still to this day, look into mysteries likePrincess IKZand the third meteorite. That’s not to say this code is to the same level as those, but it could be that players manage to figure out the code, the whole mystery, or just one part of it.
As players return toCyberpunk 2077or begin playing it for the first time, it’ll be interesting to see how these communal aspects change—if they do at all. For now, this is one for the mysteryhunters ofCyberpunk 2077.
Cyberpunk 2077is out now for PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X.
