A new \u201cEdgerunners\u00a0update\u201d was also applied to the game, bringing in three new side 11 new weapons, and several secrets that make reference to the series. The \u201cEdgerunners effect\u201d was in full swing this morning, as the game peaked at 85,555 concurrent players on Steam earlier today, the highest peak for Cyberpunk since its launch nearly two years ago, according to player-tracking stats site Steam Charts.\u00a0\u00a0 Perhaps the biggest achievement of Edgerunners is its attention to detail. Many of the show\u2019s stylistic choices align directly with Cyberpunk 2077. Fans of the game should be able to spot one-to-one comparisons between the game and the show, including the cell phone ringtone and interface used by V, as well as the usage of Cyberpunk-specific buzzwords such as \u201cpreem\u201d and \u201cchoom.\u201d With so much of\u00a0Edgerunners\u2019 on-screen content paying homage to\u00a0Cyberpunk 2077, it shouldn\u2019t be surprising why so many players got the itch to return to Night City. On the flip-side, the\u00a0Edgerunners\u00a0update also has some elements to keep an eye on for in-game fans of the Netflix series, which may be taking the plunge into\u00a0Cyberpunk\u00a0for the first time. Related: Cyberpunk 2077 developer says Phantom Liberty is the \u2018only planned expansion\u2019 Cyberpunk\u2019s all-time player peak came immediately following its launch, as over 830,000 players participated in the game\u2019s release on PC. The following month, January 2021, saw a 75 percent month-to-month dropoff in total players. According to Steam Charts, the game hadn\u2019t eclipsed a peak-player threshold of 60,000 until today. Cyberpunk 2077 saw a slight increase in active players earlier this year when Patch 1.5 was released in February.\u00a0 Cyberpunk will also keep the content flowing for its players, with the Phantom Liberty expansion set to release next year. With a new animated series, corresponding in-game patch, and eventual expansion all coming to fruition, it\u2019s clear that the Cyberpunk franchise is receiving a second wind.\u00a0","apple_news_notices":[],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/09201817\/Cyberpunk2077_Always_bring_a_gun_to_a_knife-fight_RGB-en.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/686899"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1865"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=686899"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/686899\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":702390,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/686899\/revisions\/702390"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/335811"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=686899"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=686899"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=686899"},{"taxonomy":"invoiceable_action","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/invoiceable_action?post=686899"},{"taxonomy":"internal-label","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/internal-label?post=686899"},{"taxonomy":"article_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/article_type?post=686899"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/dotesports.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=686899"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
