Today marks the worldwide release of Cyberpunk 2077. It’s almost shocking to know that the game that many in the community have been waiting eight years to play has finally arrived. Though, that sentiment is certainly not hard to tell, especially given the tremendous response that Cyberpunk 2077 has already received on Steam and other platforms.
Entire weeks ahead of its scheduled release, Cyberpunk 2077 had topped the sales charts on Steam, beating out some of the most popular games on the platform by a hefty margin. Although, now that the game is actually available to play, this has led to an influx of users playing the game on Steam and the statistics are quite shocking to say the least.
In less than a few hours, Cyberpunk 2077, a single-player game, had over one million concurrent players playing online. This beat out numerous popular online multiplayer games like CS:GO, Grand Theft Auto 5, and even Among Us. This is quite the achievement to say the very least, but at the same time, it’s one that makes a lot of sense.
This game was one of the most highly anticipated releases of 2020; a game that was announced back in 2012 and had many members of the gaming community for quite a long time. Combined with reports of numerous players taking time off work when the game releases and a multitude of delays, Cyberpunk 2077 is an experience that most in the gaming community could no longer wait to sink their teeth into and these analytics do plenty to convey that.
In any case, this is an impressive achievement, considering that most of the games listed on the concurrent players stat list consists of predominantly multiplayer games like Rust, Team Fortress 2, and Apex Legends. The fact that a single player game like Cyberpunk 2077 managed to outpace all of them and by a margin of over six-hundred thousand players is quite the feat. This may eventually lead to Steam breaking a new user record.
Ever since the COVID-19 pandemic first hit, the amount of online users for Steam has grown incredibly, in fact back in March, Steam set continuous records for the amount of users online. If given enough time, the release of Cyberpunk 2077 will certainly attribute to a greater pool of online users on not just Steam, but practically every single platform the game is available on. Now that the game has finally released, all that’s left is for players to dive into Night City and experience everything the game has to offer.
Cyberpunk 2077 is out now for PC, PS4, Stadia, and Xbox One, with PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions currently in development.
