Cyberpunk 2077 is having another moment, but not for the usual reasons.<\/p>\n

There is no new expansion, no major patch, and no live-service-style content drop pulling players back into Night City. Instead, CD Projekt Red\u2019s open-world RPG has surged on Steam because the conditions around it have changed: the game is heavily discounted, its reputation has been rebuilt over several years, and the broader conversation around Cyberpunk 2077 is no longer dominated by its disastrous 2020 launch.<\/p>\n

Oh, and the recent Wuthering Waves content collaboration<\/a> for the Cyberpunk Edgerunners anime, plus the Season 2 teaser trailer<\/a>, surely help as well. Not to mention the PS5 Pro update from April<\/a>, which got me to return for a good chunk of hours.<\/p>\n

According to SteamDB<\/a>, Cyberpunk 2077 recently reached nearly 88,000 concurrent players on Steam, its highest figure in around two and a half years. Steam\u2019s own public stats also showed the game among the platform\u2019s most-played titles on June 29, 2026, with more than 78,000 peak players that day.<\/p>\n

For an entirely single-player RPG released more than five years ago, that is a notable achievement, and it doesn’t even account for console players.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cyberpunk 2077 is having another moment, but not for the usual reasons.
