Cyberpunk 2077 Player Finds Funky Easter Egg After Over 400 Hours Of Playing

Summary Cyberpunk 2077 features real-world references like Keanu Reeves and bootleg Daft Punk for players to discover in Night City.

A group of in-universe musicians resembling Daft Punk can be found in a club during Kerry Eurodyne's side mission.

Private Press, the Daft Punk-esque duo in the game, can also be spotted at a special event on the 99.9 Impulse radio channel.

Cyberpunk 2077 is full of references to notable real-world people, from Johnny Silverhand actor Keanu Reeves - who is canon in the game's universe - to the late rally driver, Ken Block. The series' creator Mike Pondsmith even appears in-game as a radio host. After 400 hours of exploring Night City, one player has found the in-universe equivalent of the French electronic music duo Daft Punk.

Daft Punk are known for songs such as Around The World and Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger, and are easily recognizable due to their distinct stage attire, which consists of futuristic helmets disguising their identities. Such an item of clothing wouldn't be out of place in the futuristic world of Cyberpunk, and developers CD Projekt Red opted to include a similar design for a group of in-universe musicians, who Redditor HackSama referred to as "bootleg Daft Punk".

Other Redditors joined in with the joke, referring to what knock-off songs a bootleg Daft Punk would produce, including Around The Globe, Tougher, Gooder, Quicker, Musclier, and One Additional Time as a parody of One More Time.

Where To Find The Daft Punk-Esque Duo In Cyberpunk 2077

Unsurprisingly, The Duo Can Be Seen On Night City's Music Scene

While it took HackSama over 400 hours to find the "bootleg Daft Punk", whose actual name in-universe is Private Press fellow Redditor Alex369S pointed out that the duo can be seen in one of Kerry Eurodyne's side missions, “I Don't Wanna Hear It”. As part of this quest, V and Kerry must sneak into an Us Cracks gig at Riot, a club in Little China, Watson to talk to the group about their cover of one of Kerry's songs. There are many ways to do this, but if players steal a ticket from one of the fans, buy one legitimately, or intimidate the bouncer, they can go through the main entrance, which is where they'll see the Daft Punk-esque duo. There are other options to sneak into the club through the back, however, and this is one way for players to easily miss them.

If the quest Violence has been completed before I Don't Wanna Hear It prior to this quest, V can access Riot through the VIP entrance.

There is another event at Riot for the 99.9 Impulse radio channel where players can spot Private Press, however. This event seems to be the one HackSama spotted them at and is available to those who pay attention to the messages they get via their Holocom. This DJ playing at this show is Mr. Kipper, who is actually Idris Elba, who portrayed the Federal Intelligence Agency (FIA) sleeper agent Solomon Reed in the Phantom Liberty expansion, and the track Walk Of Shame that Kipper plays at the event was created by Elba. This track can be heard on the 99.9 Impulse radio channel alongside a variety of different tracks by Private Press.

Solomon Reed can also be seen working undercover as a bouncer in a different bar in Night City, the Electric Orgasm, where fixer Dino Dinovic operates.

While easily missed, Cyberpunk 2077's Daft Punk homage is a fun one that fits in perfectly with the sci-fi world of the game. The band's lore is further explored in promotional shards across the city, with one stating that they hail from Grobel Orbital Station, thousands of miles from Earth, and identify with the cultural heritage of the Highriders, the space-dwelling, high-tech colonists of Low Earth Orbit (LEO), so players should definitely keep their eyes peeled if they want to learn more.
