Johnny Silverhand (Keanu Reeves) Sad Easter Egg
One of the new additions to Cyberpunk 2077’s Update 2.1 is the metro system.
This was originally intended to be in the game at launch, but we all know that the game had a… rocky launch, to say the least.

How to Get to DRY CREEK in Cyberpunk 2077 Patch 2.3Jul 26, 2025Due to that, there was some in-game excuse about V’s NCART City Pass causing trouble. As such, you weren’t allowed to ride the metro at all, no matter what!
It seems that V has finally managed to fix whatever the issue with their NCART City Pass was, though.
Now, you can ride the metro to travel to any of the 19 stations spread throughout the city!
More interestingly, there’s one unique easter egg in the metro that calls back to a popular meme involving Keanu Reeves.
As we’re sure you know, Keanu Reeves plays the character of Johnny Silverhand in Cyberpunk 2077.
Anytime you take a ride in the metro system, Johnny Silverhand might appear sitting in one of the train’s seats. He will seem dejected and sad, but he’s also accompanied by a pigeon.
This is all in V’s mind, of course, as is usually the case in this game.
This encounter is completely random, too, so there’s no specific way to trigger it.
For those unaware, this is a throwback to the popular “Sad Keanu” meme. The original meme photo showed Keanu Reeves himself sitting on a bench, surrounded by pigeons, but seemingly sad.
Johnny Silverhand is even holding a sandwich, just like his real-life counterpart was in the meme!
There’s nothing to do with this little easter egg, but it’s fun to see a reference to a meme that is quite old by now.
