Cyberpunk 2077 Has Been Hiding An Easter Egg In Its Main Menu

thegamer.com:

Cyberpunk 2077, arguably more than any other massive open world RPG out there, is crammed with secrets, references, and Easter eggs celebrating the video game industry, CD Projekt Red, and the games we all love. Think of any popular IP released in the past two decades, and you'll more than likely find a secret or two referencing it, whether that be GTA, Death Stranding, The Matrix, Sailor Moon, Mortal Kombat, The Witcher 3, and plenty more.

Fans of the title are still finding little secrets to this day, but you'll struggle to find one more devious than the discovery that Twitter user Crushovitz made earlier this week, one which even multiple developers at CD Projekt Red thought might never be found. You can watch a video of the Easter egg being discovered down below, as Crushovitz randomly moved their mouse cursor over the number displaying the game's current version on the top right of the main menu.

After leaving their mouse cursor over the number while they had a sip of tea, they noticed that the number - which currently reads 2.12 - glitches and shifts around before finally settling on the number 2.0.77. It's not a massive discovery, and doesn't really reference anything other than te title of the name, but it's an extremely devious Easter egg that has potentially been hiding in front of players for years at this point.

It's so devious that even CD Projekt Red's own developers were starting to think that it might never be found. Cyberpunk 2077 quest director Pawel Sasko and producer Monika Janowska both congratulated Crushovitz on the discovery that they made, the latter saying that she's "super happy" it's finally been found, while the former admitting that it was probably "hidden way too well".

Neither Sasko nor Janowska reveal quite how long this little Easter egg has been sitting on the main menu for players to find, but their responses to its discovery suggest it must have been there at least a couple of years at this point. It's also yet another Easter egg
