It’s a freaking good game.
I never played it at release, but modded to the brim just before phantom liberty came out (yes, I know, bad timing), and I was blown away.
The gold standard in games retaining playerbases in this genre is Baldur’s Gate 3, which still puts up over 100,000 players nightly, though it released just over a year and a half ago.
“Released”…
Going off memory but I think BG3’s act 1 was out before cyberpunk or close to the same time. I had 100+ hours before the game released, and it was with huge gaps of play time. I think it was in Beta for at least two years.
Well… Cyberpunk was basically an unfinished alpha when it was released.
Also, BG3 has no major DLC.

I played it the day it was released on pc, the only issue was how shitty the cars drove. But you could change the setting so bikes were usable
Consoles were different, but PC I never really had issues.
I bought both cyberpunk and BG3 in gog instead of steam. I would guess cyberpunk sells more through gog than BG3 would since it’s their own platform. Would be interesting if gog stats could be seen as well, but since it’s DRM free, tracking stats on some people are outright impossible.
It helps that there’s a pretty robust modding community. It gives the game good replayability, in addition to all the improvements and changes CDPR have made. Sure, a huge percentage of the mods are sexy outfits, but that’s pretty normal for a heavily modded game.
Oh yeah? well I’m doing seventy thousand and ONE steam players a night. Take that, CyberFlunk.
I mean I upgraded my PC just to be able to play it when it came out and now I want to upgrade again for Path- and Raytracing.
Wait for DLSS4, the mfgen is series 5 exclusive but the transformer model with the improved performance is being ported all the way back to the 2000 series. Might get the performance uplift you need without buying anything if you already have an RTX card.
I just upgraded to a 4070 Ti, and I gotta say that coming from my old 2080 Ti, it’s not that much better looking.
Yeah, probably but my PC is also for me what for other people is their car or instrument. I just want to keep upgrading and fiddling with it.
Me too, just letting you know what to expect tho.
Good, they deserve it.
They released among death threats and stick by their game this entire time.
I would buy it again if I could, so I just gift it to friends who get Steam Decks.

How is player count meaningless? Even for single player games, that’s the most important number to gauge the ongoing interest in a game. Every player contributes to the strength of the fandom.

It means it’s selling well and people are playing it long term.
