Cyberpunk 2077 Resurgence Continues [11:16 am ET] – Share – 41 Comments
SteamDB now shows that
Cyberpunk 2077 has hit a peak player count of 122,376 players in the past 24
hours. This is well below the peak concurrent player count of 1,054,388 the game
hit around the time of its launch. But
a tweet from Benji-Sales notes that nearly two years after its release, the
sci-fi RPG hit more simultaneous players than The Witcher 3 ever achieved. The
gap has grown even larger since the tweet, which says:
Cyberpunk 2077 just passed the ALL TIME Steam Peak Concurrent Players for The Witcher 3
Cyberpunk: 104,827
The Witcher 3 (all time peak): 103,329
Absolutely nuts. Nearly 2 years after launch Cyberpunk has more people playing it right now on Steam than The Witcher 3 has ever had

I'm going to do some rare socializing today, as I'll get together with my old
softball buddies. This will be a low-key affair, and we'll spend most of it
outdoors as a precaution against getting sick (two of them are cancer
survivors). Though the weather has cooled significantly over the past couple of
weeks, it's thankfully warm enough to accommodate our festivities.
