We’ve already reported on the cool things Cyberpunk 2077 players are doing with Patch 2.2’s new and improved photo mode, but it turns out the update also added a secret quest to the game.
The quest in question is actually a crossover with LocalThunk's smash hit poker-inspired roguelike deckbuilder Balatro, which itself received Cyberpunk 2077 card packs back in October.
Warning! Cyberpunk 2077 spoilers ahead!
The Balatro quest sees ‘Jim B’ message V to ask them to track down rogue Jokers scattered around Night City. Jim B helps V out on this treasure hunt by providing images that point players in the right direction, complete with card-based puns. You'll know you're in the right spot by the joker image sprayed on a surface. It’s basically a fun collectathon / exploration side quest themed after Balatro.
As for quest rewards (spoiler warnings end here!), the hunt ends with the Joker of Night City package, which includes a new joker shirt and a Balatro trophy displayed in your apartment.
CD Projekt Global PR Director Radek Grabowski tweeted to add some context, saying the quest came about after he asked the quest design team about the possibility of putting Balatro cards in Cyberpunk 2077. Quest designer Maria Mazu then created the Balatro quest for Patch 2.2.
This is one of a number of secrets game director Paweł Sasko teased were added by Patch 2.2, and that’s on top of secrets from the base game that still remain undiscovered even now, four years after Cyberpunk 2077’s launch. Players are documenting unlisted Patch 2.2 updates, which so far include a street race and more color variants on weapons.

Some time ago, I asked the Quest Design team at CDPR: “You liked the Cyberpunk cards in Balatro? What if we had Balatro cards in Cyberpunk 2077?” Thanks to the talented Quest Designer Maria Mazur, we now have the Balatro quest in Update 2.2.Amazing work, Maria!
