Cyberpunk 2077 was Steam's No. 1 best-selling game overall last week and it reached its highest concurrent player count since January 2021, according to Benji Sales on Twitter. As of today, September 21, Cyberpunk 2077 remains in the top 10 most-played games on Steam.
Cyberpunk 2077 is currently marked down to just $30 on all platforms.
As mentioned, the renewed success for Cyberpunk 2077 came after the launch of the Edgerunners update that added a number of exciting new features to the game. As for the Edgerunners TV series, all 10 episodes of its first season premiered on September 18. GameSpot's Edgerunners review said the show is a "fantastic companion piece" to Cyberpunk 2077.
Looking ahead, Cyberpunk 2077 is adding a new expansion, Phantom Liberty, in 2023. The expansion brings back Keanu Reeves' Johnny Silverhand and takes players to a new part of Night City.

Show made me cry. The fact I can visit the same places in the game make the emotions hit that much harder. If you're still on the fence go watch the show and play the damn game already.
God I love cyberpunk 💓
