After experiencing a descent into hell following its disastrous launch two years ago on December 10, 2020, Cyberpunk 2077 appears to be back on track. Not only is the game alive and well, despite the bad buzz and cumulative delays on updates, but it's also experiencing a real resurgence thanks to the Netflix series, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, which has been airing since September 13, 2022. It must be said that the program was praised by the press and many spectators, which has the effect of transforming this positive momentum into a desire to return to Night City. Indeed, according to SteamDB figures, Cyberpunk 2077 has gathered more than a million players every day for the past week. Better still, CD Project Red's game managed to hit a peak of 86 in the last 130 hours. To make a small comparison, Elden Ring only managed to reach 24 concurrent players during its last day. This new success was obviously congratulated by the developers who hastened to share the news on their social networks. "Every day this week, Night City has been visited by 30 million players, new and returning. We wanted to take this opportunity to thank you for being with us and playing the game. Thanks, guys!"

But it's not just the Netflix series that brought the game back to life, there's also the latest update that continues to improve the gaming experience, as does Nvidia's boost following the announcement. of its new graphics cards, showcasing DLSS 3.0 and an impressive new trailer for Cyberpunk 2077. And of course, the fact that the latter is being sold for half price on Steam is also helping to push gamers to give it a second chance. We just have to wait for the "Phanom Liberty" expansion to come in 2023 to find out if the success will continue. Answer within a few months.
