Cyberpunk 2077 79 users in one month

Last year, the number of users of CD Project Red (CDPR)’s most popular work’Cyberpunk 2077′ is rapidly decreasing.

According to game analysis company GitHyp, the number of Steam users of’Cyberpunk 2077′ recorded 222,000 in the first week of January, down 79% from over 1 million in early December, the first week of release.

GitHyp evaluated that such a sharp drop in the number of users in open world games such as’Cyberpunk 2077′ is unusual. “Compared to CDPR’s previous hit, The Witcher 3, CDPR’s new digital playground has attracted the interest of returning users,” GitHyp said. It is not suitable for turning,” he said.

“The Witcher 3 recorded 92,000 users on Steam in the first week of its launch in 2015, and maintained 55,000 users after a month.” “It took 3 months for the Witcher 3 to lose 79% of its users. “He said.

“If the bugs in Cyberpunk 2077 are fixed, the number of users will increase again,” he said. “With The Witcher 3, we have seen similar things happen several times. The content needed to revive the number will have to wait a long time,” he added.

Meanwhile,’Cyberpunk 2077′ was released on various platforms such as PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, PC, and Google Stadia. Among them, the console version was criticized for bugs and optimization issues, and Sony and Microsoft implemented a full refund policy unusually for AAA games. On the other hand, in the case of the PC version, the number of users on Steam was 1 million and received good reviews, such as receiving’very positive’ reviews.
