CD Projekt revealed in September that Keanu Reeves will return as Johnny Silverhand in the upcoming Cyberpunk 2077 expansion Phantom Liberty<\/a>. And he won’t be the only celebrity to appear in the add-on: Gaming streamer Sasha Grey revealed on Twitter that she’s in it too, as a new radio DJ named Ash.<\/p>\n

“A new community radio station is coming to Night City in the Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty expansion,” CD Projekt tweeted on October 14. “Help Ash set up 89.7 GrowlFM by creating a music track inspired by the video below.” In a reply, Grey tweeted:<\/p>\n

Hi, I’m ASH \ud83e\udee2 https:\/\/t.co\/fn1pblenVYOctober 15, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n

It is admittedly not the most detailed announcement ever, and Grey did not state explicitly that she is portraying Ash in the expansion rather than, say, submitting her music as a contest entry (more on that below) or feeling an emotional kinship with a character attempting to kick-start a media career. When Monster Prom producer Jesse Cox welcomed her to the role, though, she thanked him<\/a> rather than correcting him, which I take as a sign that she is playing the role.<\/p>\n

Prior to becoming a content creator, Grey had a relatively brief but successful career in adult films; she’s also been involved in the music industry as a vocalist and DJ, and has also published a photo book and trilogy of novels. These days, though, she’s probably best known (among gamers, at least) for her online presence: Grey has 428,000 subscribers on YouTube<\/a>, 1.1 million followers on Twitch<\/a>, 1.5 million on Twitter<\/a>, and 1.7 million followers on Instagram<\/a>. She’s been in videogames previously too, appearing as Viola DeWynter<\/a> in Saints Row: The Third and Saints Row: Gat Out of Hell.<\/p>\n

CD Projekt is also looking for music for the new Cyberpunk 2077 radio station, which is what the tweet Grey replied to is actually about. The studio is holding a contest for original music tracks to be used in the game\u2014full details on that are up at cyberpunk.net<\/a>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
