So, in case you didn't know, Keanu Reeves showed up on stage at the Xbox E3 2019 press conference to talk about Cyberpunk 2077. Reeves is playing a seemingly central character in CD Projekt Red's open world RPG named Johnny Silverhand, and his shock appearance at the show has pretty much been the highlight of E3 so far.
An especially entertaining moment happened when Reeves described his experience with the game as "breathtaking". A man in the crowd, now confirmed to be a YouTuber called Peter Sark, shouted "you're breathtaking!" back at Reeves during a momentary pause. This prompted Reeves to fire the compliment back at Sark, and then the rest of the audience. Naturally, the whole thing got a huge cheer. If you're unfamiliar with the whole scenario, we've included the presser footage above courtesy of Platform32.

But the story doesn't end there. After revealing on Twitter he was the one who shouted back at Reeves, CD Projekt Red replied to Sark's post, saying "it got you a free #Cyberpunk2077 Collector’s Edition on top! Check your DMs."
A free copy of Cyberpunk 2077? And the collector's edition to boot? For calling Keanu Reeves breathtaking? Man, what win that is.

He truly is mesmerizing in both appearance and personality.
Quite right too!
Man, I'd have done it for free.
Just when you thought there was no way to get people more excited for Cyberpunk.
I’m not jealous at all...honest...🙄🤥
@LieutenantFatman I can't even bring myself to be cynical about it.
We need Keanu to revive Dogstar (his old, actual band), and then maybe, just maybe - he will actually save the world with music!
He gets a free collectors edition for stating what is constantly in all of our minds when we look at Keanu
Seeing Keanu as the only celebrity i respect appeared inside a game that dont actually have interest (I'm not fond of the cyber theme), makes me even want to play it.
i mean, look at him, he is cool and humble at same time, yet also kinda funny to present the game.
i watched few times and still laughed , lol
Best part of E3 so far. His entrance on stage was like a wwe superstar entrance 😂
Amazing! I bet Keanu wanted to give free copies to everyone in the world
Everyone here at PushSquare's breathtaking!
I'm betting Peter Sark has been feeling pretty good for last 24 hours. I saw on Twitter he was filming when he called out so has footage of Keanu pointing back at him and calling him breathtaking.
@WanderingBullet You're breathtaking!
Keanu seems like such a nice fellow. Probably the only actor I would like to meet.
That's a bit weird
I'm only buying the game cuz he's in it.lol
I only know Keanu Reeves from flicks like Point Break, Speed and The Matrix so I was a bit puzzled as to why he showed up in the game I'm most looking forward to. He was a cool cat on stage, though.
He is breathtaking, Keanu is breathtaking, the game will be breathtaking, CD Projekt red is breathtaking... this story is breathtaking and if you are reading this... hell.... you are breathtaking... all of us and breathtaking.... love it... not gonna lie..
He said what we were all thinking
@WanderingBullet Are you by any chance expecting PushSquare to give you free games? 🤔
I’m expecting the word “breathtaking” to be the new buzzword around these parts and within the gaming industry.
@ApostateMage It's odd you say that since The Matrix is the most famous cuberpunk movie, probably the most famous cyberpunk thing full stop. Nothing else he's been in is more relevant to the game than that.
@MaccaMUFC Breathtaking comment, mate.
I do wonder how big a part he will have in the game. The fact that they kept it a secret makes me think it's a pretty small part. Pretty cool either way tho...
I see a bit of Jonny Mnemonic inspiration in the game, the laser whip and Keanu Reeves - cool!
No, BREATHTAKING!
