Kotaku reported some interesting tidbits from Valve’s recent Steam statistics dump, most notably Cyberpunk 2077 Quietly become a bestseller in 2021. This may surprise many people, because CD Projekt Red’s game is controversial due to flaws and unfinished. However, this may be reversing.
Although games such as Shinsekai, Walheim, and Nara Card occupy the top of the rankings and continue to generate revenue even after someone starts the game, cyberpunk managed to make the silver part of the top 100 revenue a reality. This is the fact that what is even more impressive is that, unlike things like New World, it is a completed sale. The Silver section also hosted “Resident Evil Village” and “Age of Empires 4”, both of which have a reputation outside the door. For CD Projekt Red, seeing cyberpunk in their company is definitely welcome news. It also has more than 200,000 peak concurrent players, which is an impressive number no matter how you divide it.
Cyberpunk 2077 seems to have a tough 2021. The true cost of the large number of refunds that the game eventually issued turned out to be 51 million US dollars. CD Projekt Red still cannot guarantee that the current version will be released this year. And don’t expect to see Cyberpunk 2077 in the subscription service, although it is clearly not needed at the moment.
Cyberpunk 2077 is now available for PS4, Xbox One, PC and Google Stadia. PS5 and Xbox Series X/S versions may be launched next year.
