Good news for CD Projekt Red. After Cyberpunk 2077 got a new update, significantly more players are playing the sci-fi game again. In addition to the update, the anime series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners has also started on Netflix.
You can follow SteamDB to see that Cyberpunk 2077 now has a peak player count of 67,000 players. In August, the peak was around 16,000 players.
The recent success is due to both the Update 1.6 and the successful launch of the Netflix series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners. The reviews of the series and the rating on Netflix make it one of the best series of recent years. This shows that the formula for success of a video game adaptation for Netflix still works very well. Another example of this is the adaptation of The Witcher by Netflix.
So that new players can also get started with Cyberpunk 2077, there is currently a 50% discount on the game on Steam.
We hope that the developer will now do clean work again and that the upcoming The Witcher 4 will be at least as good as the predecessor.
