Following the release of Update 2.5 for Cyberpunk 2077, the peak concurrent player count on Steam has exceeded 100,000 for 20 consecutive days. This wave of returning players has persisted for several days, rather than being a short-term fluctuation lasting only a day or two.
CD Projekt RED previously announced that the game recorded approximately 187,000 concurrent players on October 26, marking its best performance since the launch of the narrative expansion Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty. Nearly six years after its initial release, Night City and the new content continue to attract a large number of players.
It is important to note that the figure of over 100,000 refers to the peak concurrent players recorded each day, not that 100,000 players were online continuously throughout the entire day, nor does it mean the player count never dropped below this number during the 20-day period. Compared to the phase high of 187,000, maintaining a threshold of over 100,000 for 20 consecutive days better demonstrates the sustainability of this player resurgence.
Current statistics cover only the Steam platform and do not include PlayStation, Xbox, or other PC digital storefronts, so they cannot be considered representative of the game's cross-platform active player base. The long-term impact of Update 2.5 still needs to be assessed in conjunction with future trends and more comprehensive cross-platform data.
