Cyberpunk 2077 Sees a Sharp Rise in Player Count on Steam Following Patch 2.0 Release, Over 100,000 Active Players

The release of the major update 2.0 for Cyberpunk 2077 has clearly inspired the gaming community. According to Steam statistics, the active audience of the game has significantly increased, reaching a mark of 101,041 users at the time of publishing this material.

Up to this point, online indicators barely surpassed the threshold of 15,000 players, but after September 21, when patch 2.0 was released, the situation drastically changed. Of course, this is far from the absolute record, which was set on the day of the game's release with more than 1 million active players on Steam, but this growth speaks to the resurgence of interest in Cyberpunk 2077.

The main improvements offered in the update include a revamped police behavior system, a new skill system, and armed car chases. These changes have allowed players to re-evaluate the gameplay and return to the world of Cyberpunk 2077 with new enthusiasm.

On a related note, another significant release awaits players on September 26 — the expansion Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty for PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S. Judging by the community's reaction, expectations around the update and story expansion are quite high, and possibly, the number of active players will continue to grow.
