The concurrent player count for Cyberpunk 2077 in Steam reached 187,215 users. According to studio CD Projekt RED, this represents the highest audience activity metric recorded since October 2023, when the major 2.0 update and the Phantom Liberty story expansion were released.
This sharp increase in player numbers is attributed to two main factors: the premiere of the second season of the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime series on Netflix and the launch of update 2.5.
The new patch introduced dual-wielding shooting mechanics, new cosmetic items, expanded cyberware customization, and a special story mission that intersects with the events of the series. An additional incentive for audience engagement was a temporary 70 percent discount on the Cyberpunk 2077 Ultimate Edition on Steam.
