Cyberpunk 2077 Update Adds Balatro Crossover Quest

CD Projekt Red is reciprocating the love Balatro showed Cyberpunk 2077 a couple of months ago by adding a quest based on the roguelike card game. It's one of the new secrets that's now discoverable in Night City after the recent launch of Update 2.2 for the action-RPG.

The official Balatro account on X teased the crossover, showcasing that the poker-inspired game's joker mascot--named Jimbo--appears as graffiti in Cyberpunk 2077 now. That led to CD Projekt Red global PR director Radek Grabowski revealing that the collaboration is official and part of a new in-game quest.

"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," explained Grabowski on X. "Amazing work, Maria!"
