There are unused voice lines within the game's files for male V that pertain to the Judy romance, which are normally exclusive to female V.

Located on the rooftop of Tom's Diner (over at Bradbury & Buran) is a pair of binoculars. If the players uses the binoculars to look up to the left, they'll find graffiti of the Northern cardinal bird that's used in CD Projekt RED's logo. After waiting a few moments, the vision in the binoculars will glitch and shift to show a picture of the game's dev team superimposed over the screen. According to global community director Marcin Momot and senior PR manager Marta Piwońska, this picture was taken at an annual company picnic on CD Projekt RED's 20th anniversary in 2022.

By completing the side job "I Fought the Law", you will eventually gain access to another side job called "The Hunt". During the mission, you break into the NCPD Lab.

The function of the container is to simulate conditions in the uterus for the intended purpose of maintaining the life of the BB and detecting BT's.

Near the start of the mission "The Heist", you follow Jackie around the premises of Konpeki Plaza. Eventually, Jackie will offer to either continue looking around the plaza or to go straight to their hotel room.

A fan mod for the game which allowed players to have sex with the character Johnny Silverhand, played by actor Keanu Reeves, was taken down at the request of the game's developer CD Projekt Red as they considered it to be potentially harmful towards those who had lent their likeness.

If the player goes to the bathroom in V’s homestead, three seashells can be found on a ledge by the toilet.
