Although it has been a long time since CD Projekt Red’s long-awaited production Cyberpunk 2077 was released, it manages to maintain its popularity with new updates and new content related to the game. The recently released Netflix series Cyberpunk: Edgerunners also increased the number of active players in the game.
A few days ago, the number of instant Cyberpunk 2077 players on SteamDB exceeded 37 thousand, breaking a record. The previous record set in August was 16 thousand. The production, which broke a new record, managed to exceed 68 thousand active users this month.
Netflix support for Cyberpunk 2077
Cyberpunk 2077: Edgerunners, the result of the Netflix collaboration with Studio Trigger, which has also signed successful anime such as Kill la Kill, takes place in Night City, which is located in the universe of the game. Although we cannot see the characters in the game in this production, we are faced with an impressive story. Netflix, which managed to make a “good game series” with Arcane, raised the bar even higher this time.
It is not enough to explain the interest created by the anime and the new update only with Cyberpunk 2077 records. The instant player numbers of games such as Elden Ring and FIFA 22, which attracted great attention, were also behind this record.
Of course, it is not healthy to determine the general popularity of the game by looking at the number of people playing Cyberpunk 2077 on the computer, but it is necessary to accept that the number of computer players is also an important factor. Various fixes, gameplay improvements and extra features, especially after the last update, made the game even more attractive.
CD Projekt Red is currently working mainly on The Witcher 4.
