Cyberpunk 2077 Steam Player Count Hits 187,215 After Edgerunners Season 2 Launch and Update

Cyberpunk 2077 has seen its biggest Steam player surge since the Phantom Liberty expansion, reaching 187,215 concurrent players following the release of Edgerunners Season 2 on Netflix and a major game update. The new content adds dual-wielding, cosmetics, cyberware fashion, and a story mission tied to the anime, giving both new and returning players fresh reasons to dive into Night City. This peak surpasses the 136,724 players recorded after the first Edgerunners season in September 2022, highlighting the anime's continued power to drive engagement. CD Projekt Red is also capitalizing on the momentum with a 70% discount on the Ultimate Edition, lowering the barrier for newcomers across PC platforms like Steam, GOG, and Epic Games Store, as well as consoles including PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Switch 2. The resurgence reinforces the long-tail success of Cyberpunk 2077 nearly six years after its troubled launch. As development on the sequel progresses under game director Gabe Amatangelo, the franchise's cross-media strategy is proving to be a winning formula for sustained relevance.
