The RTX 4090 is Nvidia’s latest top-tier graphics card, and the custom Cyberpunk 2077 version comes with a unique backplate with a design inspired by Samurai, Johnny Silverhand’s gang. There are three custom graphics cards available, with the first being awarded to the player who finds the save code in Cyberpunk 2077, though no one is really sure where they can find this secret code right now. Through suggestions on the CD Projekt Red website and Twitter, fans have currently narrowed down the location of the code to be somewhere in the Arasaka Tower. In the coming weeks, CD Projekt Red will provide hints for two more tasks or challenges, leading to two additional RTX 4090 graphics cards being given away.
For the first task, it is yet to be discovered what this code actually is or where it can be found in the Arasaka Tower. As the headquarters of the Arasaka Corporation in Night City, the Arasaka Tower is a huge complex where many secrets can be hidden. Some gamers think the code will be an item found in the building, while others think they’ll be able to get their custom RTX 4090 by hacking a terminal. Whichever way the secret is unlocked, the race is still open for anyone who wants to win “preem” gaming hardware.
Cyberpunk 2077 is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, Stadia, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
