Second Chance For Cyberpunk 2077

 


Since January 2021, the number of players actively playing Cyberpunk 2077 on Steam has reached a high point.

This past weekend, Cyberpunk 2077 had about 85,555 active gamers on Steam, according to the Steam Charts. The game, which was introduced in December 2020, had over 1 million concurrent players at debut before progressively falling. There were about 80,483 active gamers on January 21, 2021.



This increase in popularity can be ascribed to the positive critical reception of Studio Trigger's Cyberpunk Edgerunners anime series and the 1.6 Patch that was released with it and contained Edgerunner content.

The trajectory of Cyberpunk 2077 has been extremely unpredictable. Due to numerous flaws and malfunctions, notably with the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions, it had a terrible launch in December 2020. As events were developing, game developer CD Projekt Red offered refunds to any unhappy consumers, and Sony removed the title from the PlayStation Network Store.

On June 21, 2021, the game was eventually relisted, albeit with the disclaimer that PlayStation Pro and PlayStation 5 are the optimal systems for playing it. On February 15, 2022, Cyberpunk 2077 was eventually published for the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S.

Even though Phantom Liberty is the only planned DLC for Cyberpunk 2077 and the production on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One versions has come to an end, CD Projekt Red is still working on the IP in spite of this upheaval.

Without revealing any spoilers, my own assessment on this series. Even if the conclusion was great, the show should have lasted two seasons to allow for character growth and bonding that would have increased the impact of the plot. However, undoubtedly, this series is worth bingeing.
