Summary

  • CD Projekt RED's renewed push around the franchise—including the presentation of Cyberpunk: Edgerunners season 2—helped draw back returning players and first-time buyers.
  • A Steam discount added momentum to that surge, boosting visibility and lowering the barrier to entry during the latest spike in activity.
  • The player rebound comes as Cyberpunk 2077 has already sold more than 40 million copies, reinforcing its place among CD Projekt RED's biggest releases.
