Cyberpunk 2077 Gets a Hilarious Crossover: Secret Balatro Quest Unveiled
CD Projekt Red has dropped a doozy in the latest update for Cyberpunk 2077. Hidden amongst the new car customizations, photo mode features, and the promised “surprises,” is a quest directly inspired by indie darling Balatro. This unexpected crossover adds a layer of playful humor to Night City, tasking players with a treasure hunt filled with Balatro themed clues and cosmetics.
Jim B’s Texting Spree
The quest kicks off with a text message from someone named Jim B, a clear reference to Balatro’s clown mascot Jimbo. This message sends V on a wild goose chase across Night City, following a trail of Jimbo logos and riddles that lead to hidden goodies. Throughout the quest, players can unlock exclusive Balatro themed cosmetics, including a cool trophy to display in their apartment.
A Bugged Quest? Not For Everyone
While the quest sounds like a lot of fun, reports suggest a possible bug preventing some players from receiving the initial message from Jim B.
"In the meantime, if you’re looking for some help on all the clue locations, YouTuber vinal has a video showing each location on Night City’s map," says the article.
Cyberpunk x Balatro Merchandise
The Cyberpunk 2077 x Balatro crossover extends beyond the in-game quest. A special line of merchandise featuring shirts and hoodies is now available for pre-order on CD Projekt Red’s website.
