The gaming community has been abuzz with discussions around Cyberpunk 2077's latest significant update, version 2.0. Developed by CD Projekt Red, this update has not just revitalized the game but also presented players with unexpected surprises. Notably, players have found a rather intriguing easter egg related to GTA San Andreas, another cult classic. But that's not all: there’s even a case of GTA San Andreas becoming playable on a smartwatch. In this blog post, we'll delve into these extraordinary occurrences. The Easter Egg in Cyberpunk 2077 Update 2.0 The Subtle Reference to Big Smoke Posted on X (formerly Twitter) by the gaming and entertainment news source Chaos, a video caught our attention. This video portrays a player walking into an in-game restaurant in Cyberpunk 2077. An NPC is seen placing an order to the waitress, an order strikingly similar to the iconic fast-food request made by Big Smoke in GTA San Andreas. The NPC orders "two number nines, one supersize, one regular," and when asked for any additional items, adds, "a number six with extra sauce, two forty-fives, one seven, and a large Nicola." Such a specific reference seems designed to appeal to fans of both games, serving as a respectful nod from CD Projekt Red to the enduring legacy of GTA San Andreas. Encouragement for Fan Exploration The discovery of this easter egg suggests that the developers have probably planted other hidden references within Cyberpunk 2077’s latest update. Given the complexity and depth of the game, it's highly likely that other surprises are waiting to be discovered by observant players. This enriches the game experience, sparking renewed interest among the gaming community. The Smartwatch Feat: Playing GTA San Andreas How Artur Sychov Achieved the Impossible In another noteworthy moment involving GTA San Andreas, Artur Sychov, the founder of Somnium Space, a social VR platform, shared a remarkable video. Using a small controller, he powers up a smartwatch and launches GTA San Andreas on it. The game starts up relatively quickly, and he's seen navigating CJ on a bicycle, recreating the opening scene of the game. The Multi-Platform Capability of Today's Gaming What’s truly astonishing here is the extent to which gaming has evolved to adapt to various platforms. It's almost surreal to witness a game like GTA San Andreas, initially developed for significantly more robust platforms, running smoothly on a device as compact as a smartwatch. The video also reveals that the smartwatch has other popular games like Among Us and PUBG Mobile installed, highlighting the versatility of modern gaming platforms. Final Thoughts The fascinating intersections between Cyberpunk 2077 and GTA San Andreas serve to highlight the expansive and interconnected world of modern gaming. From subtle references designed to ignite nostalgia to the sheer technological feat of making older games compatible with the most modern of devices, these occurrences enrich the broader narrative of gaming culture.
