Cyberpunk 2077: Johnny Silverhand's Bionic Arm Is Now a Real World Prosthetic

Xbox, CD Projekt Red, and the non-profit Limbitless Solutions have teamed up to create a real world prosthetic based on the bionic arm of Keanu Reeves' Johnny Silverhand from Cyberpunk 2077. As reported by Xbox Wire, these Johnny Silverhand-themed prosthetic arms will be donated for adults in upcoming clinical trial starting in 2021. A behind-the-scenes video is also available to show more of how this project came to be.

This Cyberpunk 2077-inspired bionic arm is just one of the many pulled from pop culture. In 2015, Limbitless teamed up with Robert Downey Jr. to present a young superhero fan Alex Pring with an Iron Man prosthetic limb, and in 2018, it partnered with 343 Industries to offer Halo-themed prosthetics. Another company, Open Bionics, recently teamed up with Komani to create a bionic arm based on Venom Snake's arm from Metal Gear Solid V for a UK-based gamer named Daniel Melville who was born without a hand.
