Cyberpunk 2077’s single and final expansion pack, Phantom Liberty, released on September 26, 2023, brought more than just a new story and location for players to explore. Some players uncovered a reference to another iconic open-world game known for its fictional depiction of California.
GTA San Andreas reference discovered in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty
In one of the first scenes of Phantom Liberty, the player-controlled character V needs to make a crucial phone call to advance the plot. However, eagle-eyed fans noticed a series of cryptic numbers etched into the phone during this scene: 2 x 9, 1 x 9 L, 1 x 6, 1 x 7 and 2 x 45. This seemingly random sequence of numbers is the same as the legendary fast-food order placed by Big Smoke in GTA: San Andreas.
For those familiar with San Andreas, the fast-food parody joint Cluckin’ Bell was the subject of a mission in which Big Smoke placed an epic and unforgettable order: “Two number 9s, one large number 9, one number 6 with extra sauce, one number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese and one large soda.” It’s a nice touch for players that Phantom Liberty pays homage to this iconic moment from another beloved game.
