Cyberpunk 2077 Continues To Thrive In 2025; Still Reaching 70K Steam Players

Expert Verified By

Fans Can't Get Enough of Night City!

Story Highlight
  • Cyberpunk 2077 was released back in 2020, but its main arc was started in 2022 after the Edgerunners update and, of course, the anime Cyberpunk Edgerunners. 
  • Furthermore, after the release of update 2.0 and Phantom Liberty, the game’s fandom spiked again.   
  • Thanks to all of these factors, the open-world action-adventure RPG can still retain 70K players on Steam even in 2025. 

The Cyberpunk 2077 launch was a disaster. Many fans had high expectations for this game, but due to countless technical issues on launch, they weren’t able to enjoy it. However, CDPR made a comeback and turned the game into a completely different one. 

After the anime show Cyberpunk Edgerunners, update 2.0, and Phantom Liberty, its reception completely changed, and Cyberpunk 2077 became one of the best games, even the best for some. The Night City and Dog Town experience for the fandom is unforgettable. 

Because of this, its player base is enjoying the experience even in 2025, as the game is still reaching over 70K players on Steam.

Why it matters: It is pretty impressive for over 4-year-old games to reach such players on a single platform. Some games released last year can’t even manage to retain half of what this game is retaining after over 4 years.

As you can see in the image above, the open-world action-adventure RPG reached over 72K players on January 1, 2025. The game maintained an average of 70K players for a while, then stooped down to 50K, which is still pretty great.

It is impressive that a title that has been around for over four years can still perform like this. The achievement sounds huge because RPGs like Dragon Age: The Veilguard were released last year and have lost almost all of their player base in just a couple of months. 

CDPR never gave up on Cyberpunk 2077 and made sure its fans enjoyed every second of it. The game features characters that talk to you, meaning you can have a deep emotional connection with them. In fact, those characters look alive to you, which is one of the main reasons why its fandom is still alive in massive numbers

CDPR still takes the launch failure to heart and has guaranteed fans on many occasions that it will never repeat such mistakes. So, fans can have high expectations for its sequel as it will feature photorealistic graphics and, most likely, multiplayer
