The Cyberpunk 2077 Xbox One X has a hidden message revealed with UV light

Eagle-eyed fans were quick to realize that the official Cyberpunk 2077 Xbox One X has a hidden message that can only be revealed with UV light.

The news comes from Reddit, where one of the many players who pre-ordered the official Cyberpunk 2077 Xbox One X shared a neat little detail they found on the back of the console.

At the back of the console, the words Uniform, Victor, Mike, and Echo are inscribed as a list of four, with the first letter of each word being heavily emphasized. On one hand, you might recognize these as the words representing their corresponding letters in the NATO alphabet. However, if you look a little closer, you’ll notice that the letters spell out, “UVME” – something players took as “UV ME,” or an invitation to shine an ultraviolet light on the area in question.

So, that’s what this particular Redditor did. After using an ultraviolet pen to shine UV light on the UVME section, they noticed a hidden message scrawled across the console. Some fans were upset that it has nothing to do with the potential of a Cyberpunk 2077 ARG (alternate reality game), in which the game begins to weave real-world aspects into its virtual story. However, others enthused over what amounts to quite a refreshing message from CD Projekt Red itself.

“There is indeed a hidden message but I think it’s better than something for the ARG,” writes Redditor Eversmans037. “It reads: ‘many languages, one message,’ and thank you in I think 15 languages.” It was later revealed by a commenter that these are the languages Cyberpunk 2077 will be made available in at launch.

You can check out two photos of the hidden message under ultraviolet light below, sourced from the Imgur post linked by the Reddit user who initially shared the detail.

Is there going to be a femshep for this game? Pfffffffft the male PC is lame-o.

 

[Echo Mirage]

I still have a hard time believing that is going to be the alternate cover for the game. What is it with modern cyberpunk and the Deus Ex piss filter of doom?

 

[urmom]

The original Deus Ex had kind of a bluish-gray piss filter.

And more about cyberspace:
"..and especially what will be possible in this Cyberspace when it comes to depth and features, because the Cyberspace in Cyberpunk 2020 is a bit like Skyrim meets Tron. There are weapons like in a phantasy RPG. That u can summon someone who burns out an evil hacker. He scorches his brain and the hacker topples over. Or that you throw fireballs and block them with shields. So it sounds like a phantasy-RPG in a high-tech environment."

They could just rip off TRON 2.0 and it'd be glorious, but we will get jRPG summons instead.

But now that we have summons we can all agree that Cyberpunk 2077 is a RPG amirite lads?

It's a JRPG!

Jokes aside, cyberspace summons is a substantional upgrade from Shadowrun games from gameplay standpoint, tbh.

 

[Peachcurl]

Was there a gameplay video that covered cyberspace in any detail?

 

[Echo Mirage]

The Sega version of Shadowrun had an interesting turn based RPG version of cyberspace I recall. But beyond that I can't think of anything that really did anything interesting with the idea.

Saints Row 3 is as close to Cyberspace and Netrunning as it can get.

EDIT: Oh you meant cyberspace in CP2077? Only 2019 gameplay.

CDPR's senior quest designer said the translation about summoning creatures for combat in cyberspace is incorrect, writing, "The main thing is that this description of cyberspace was actually one of us talking about how it worked in Mike Pondsmith's Cyberpunk 2020, so we weren't talking about Cyberpunk 2077's features at that point". I'd be careful with information that isn't in English for this game, because mistranslations and sheer bullshit seem to seep in far too frequently. Unless I get a source beyond one redditor citing a podcast supposedly hidden behind a paywall no one else has mentioned or managed to translate accurately (details like this would probably be reported from an English media source), I'm considering the rest of that post unverified, repeating old information or riddled with bullshit. I can even remember some of the points like about the openness of the quest design being repeated in previous interviews, so some of it isn't a new revelation.

Of course its incorrect, they cut all the interesting things from the tabletop afterall

They cut everything interesting from the game already, not only from the tabletop.

2020 and people are still replying to templarGR seriously

Sadly enough it is one of the best cyberspace gameplays around to this day...

did he made any comments on twitter where there was a nano-hint that he's not woke enough?

Can't help but think this was case. He's much better than most of the literal whos in the music trailer.

 

[Tom Selleck]

Too many sexy babe covers?

 

[jf8350143]

Around three month before release and still no marketing push.

Also they still haven't introduce any character other than Keanu.

Did CDPR run low on budget or something?

Me thinks they don't want to start marketing campaign until they know for 100% game is ready. Especially not after that delay from before where they had partners doing stuff for them and all of that was wasted.

Me also thinks that they are working on next gen port to launch game on both current and next gen.

The final point is that CDPR probably realized that they are big boys and end of the year spot usually is reserved for biggest hitters which sells the most copies due to christmas and all of that.

In addition to the above, they could be preparing for the marketing push 4 weeks before the release. After all the majority of people are already conscious about CP77 and are expecting it. What CDPR really needs is broadcast the release date. Maybe throw in a few more short gameplay trailers to spike the hype, so people rush in to buy the game ASAP.

 

[Daedalos]

You really think CP2077 lacks awareness at this stage?

Lol.

CP2077 is probably THE most hyped game of 2020 on all platforms.

Nah nigga, the game is gon sell like a naked thot on an island full of rapists.

The marketing push will happen soon anyway.

 

[Naraya]

Agree and frankly I can't wait for it to start. If CDR is known for something, it's that they know their marketing/promo game.
