A few weeks after the long-awaited patch 1.5 of cyberpunk 2077 focusing in particular on the versions PS5 et Xbox Series X|S, a new mystery is brewing in Night City…

Reddit user makavelinow has indeed discovered a mini-quest that does not appear on the game map or in the journal, but which seems to lead to a much larger secret.
