Cyberpunk 2077 Attracting One Million Players Daily, CD Projekt Red Claims

gadgets.ndtv.com:

Cyberpunk 2077 is currently attracting over one million players daily. In a tweet, developer CD Projekt Red confirmed that “each day of this week,” Night City has seen a massive surge in traffic, from both returning and new players. The one million figure, of course, accumulates data across both consoles and PC, with Steam hitting 86,130 concurrent players on Wednesday, as per the unaffiliated database SteamDB. Following its disastrous launch, Cyberpunk 2077 has seen a resurgence — some of which could be partly attributed to the release of the Netflix anime Cyberpunk Edgerunners.

While most video game-to-screen adaptations are synonymous with bad ratings, Netflix's latest Cyberpunk Edgerunners seems to have broken the stereotype, lauded with critical acclaim. The 10-episode series, released on September 13, caused a positive turnout for Cyberpunk 2077 on PC (Steam), as previously reported. However, the ultimate count, which brings together numbers collected from PlayStation and Xbox systems, alongside Epic Games Store and CD Projekt Red's own GOG platforms, was not revealed. And while there are still no exact details, it's good to see that the developers' post-launch efforts have paid off.

Each day of this week Night City has been visited by 1 million players, both new and returning.We wanted to use this opportunity to thank you for being with us and playing the game. Thanks, Chooms!
