With the exception of No Man's Sky, Cyberpunk 2077 is one of the best examples of a modern game that was able to turn things around. Despite being one of the most disastrous launches in recent video game history, CD Projekt Red has been working diligently to undo the massive amounts of damage that was left in the game's original wake. Many would agree that a lot's been improved since December 2020, though it's interesting to note that the player base is nowhere near what it was almost 18 months ago.

According to statistics pulled from SteamDB, a third party website that tracks all things related to the Steam client, the amount of users that play Cyberpunk 2077 has seen a massive drop over the last year and a half. At the time of writing, it's showing a recent 24-hour peak of just 19,789 players. When the game first came out, it had a peak of 1,054,388, no doubt inspired by its marketing campaign and the fact that fans have been waiting for literal years for it to come out. This also made it the fifth-highest Steam game in terms of concurrent users.

Even though the initial reputation is getting better all the time, these figures show that concurrent player base has dropped by around 98% since the game was released. The monthly breakdown shows that this number does not seem to be getting better. However, there was a massive 113% leap back in February, when patch 1.5 for Cyberpunk 2077 was released. This enormous update brought with it a laundry list of changes and big fixes, of which there were many. It shows that, when the patch rolled out, fans were willing to give the game another chance.

Sadly, it doesn't look as though many are too interested in the game these
