Cyberpunk 2077 has more concurrent players than The Witcher 3’s all-time peak on Steam

The recent release of the anime series of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners in Netflix not only brought new content to Cyberpunk 2077. As was the case with The Witcher series on the same platform, the release and success of the anime has also seen a resurgence for CD Projekt RED’s RPG which has seen its player numbers steadily increase, with the game having been played by over a million players across all platforms every day for the last week.

And that number of players keeps going up, apparently. As reported by @BenjiSales on Twitter, on Steam, Cyberpunk 2077 has seen an increasingly high 24-hour concurrent user spike every day for the past seven days. It started at a peak of over 78,000 players on Monday (Sep 19), and has climbed to over 136,000 players on Sunday (Sep 25).

Interestingly, that means its current player numbers have also surpassed the all-time concurrent user count peak on Steam for CD Projekt RED’s previous open-world RPG, The Witcher 3 (which stands at over 103,000 players).

CD Projekt RED is currently working on the expansion from Cyberpunk 2077phantom liberty due out in 2023 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, PC, and Stadia. The Polish developer has confirmed that it will be the game’s first and only expansion, though of course it remains committed to the IP. cyberpunk long-term.
