A recent incident involving a player of Cyberpunk 2077 has sparked interest after they experienced a peculiar bug that teleported them unexpectedly. While stopping in front of The Afterlife, an iconic bar in the game, the player found themselves abruptly transported to Judy Alvarez’s apartment, where they were met with a strangely intense stare from Judy herself. This incident highlights the ongoing issues with bugs in software, as even a game like Cyberpunk 2077, which has undergone significant updates since its rocky launch, still contains edge-case scenarios that lead to unusual gameplay experiences. Cyberpunk 2077 has evolved remarkably over the years, moving past its initial troubled release.
The current version of the game features a plethora of new content, substantial quality-of-life improvements, and an extensive reworking of its leveling mechanics. Despite these advancements, a recent bug involving glitched vehicles turning into hats serves as a reminder that no game is ever entirely bug-free. The player, identified on Reddit as Curilan_, was taken by surprise when the teleportation occurred after they exited their Quadra Turbo-R 740. The game transitioned to a loading screen, only to place them in front of Judy’s apartment on the opposite side of Watson.
Judy’s bizarre lighting and unsettling expression as the situation unfolded inspired fans to refer to her as “creepy Judy,” adding to the oddity of the encounter. Analyzing the footage shows that the player’s character, V, was unexpectedly launched into the air while trying to approach The Afterlife, triggering the teleportation when reaching a certain height. Notably, this bug appears to have been encountered on a PC, as indicated by the keyboard-and-mouse controls shown in the shared gameplay footage. Although it remains uncertain if other platforms could be affected by similar issues, this incident seems to be the first report of its kind.
While reaching a fix may be unlikely, the game’s history of unanticipated patches means nothing is completely ruled out.
