Cyberpunk 2077 is enjoying some hype again which skyrockets the player count after latest news of upcoming expansion Phantom Liberty, and the patch 1.6 which both adds content and fixes some more problems. After these steps by CD Projekt Red, game is seeing a surge of players especially combined with the discount.

This surge of players towards Cyberpunk 2077 resulted in a new concurrent player count record, with more than 68000 players. This is the highest concurrent player count ever seen by the game since the launch. 

Besides the news of expansion and the latest patch, it is very likely that the Netflix anime called Edgerunners also attracted some people to the game. Only negative news about Cyberpunk 2077 was that CD Projekt Red had to make the difficult decision of abandoning support for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. As much as this is sad, it is equally understandable after the problems everyone had with those versions.

Now the next step is the release of Phantom Liberty, and possibly breaking through 100.000 concurrent players.
