Cyberpunk 2077 has become a controversial topic of discussion since its release on December 10 last year, with its 'fall from grace' hitting major news networks around the world. After reaching a record 1 million concurrent players on Steam, CD Projekt Red's futuristic RPG is now struggling to maintain 225,000 users within 4 weeks of the game's release. A drop in player numbers is to be expected, of course, as previous games like The Witcher 3 saw a similar drop in user numbers, although it took three months. For PC gamers at least, these numbers falling at such an alarming rate are an interesting indicator of the level of satisfaction of gamers who have purchased Cyberpunk 2077 and the potential future of the game itself.
Well it was faster than expected
It's easy to see why we're seeing such a dramatic drop in player numbers when we look at the player-documented gameplay issues on PC and consoles, with bugs and hardware limitations making the game unplayable for some and unsatisfactory. for many. . A massive drop in player numbers is typical of video game lifecycles and isn't news in and of itself, but the rate at which we see gamers abandoning games should be CD Projekt Red's With the story With recent research providing examples of games like Marvel's Avengers and Anthem struggling to retain a player base, it's not hard to see why developers should look to offer enhanced products with playable content. While not directly comparable, as Cyberpunk 2077 is a single player open world game, a consistent player count is important for future longevity developments such as DLC and expansions. The developer is currently working on a number of fixes and bug fixes, and has already promised refunds to dissatisfied PS4 and Xbox One gamers after admitting they didn't pay enough time on the previous-generation version of consoles. CD Projekt Red's diminished reputation may be a factor in gamers' decline, so putting the game up a notch is to continue to rebuild the confidence that had previously fueled the hype around Cyberpunk 2077 before its release. We hope that the issues will be resolved in the coming weeks so that CD Projekt Red can save the day and deliver a game that players can enjoy on PC and consoles. For now, we'll continue to try to ignore the NPC's T pose in the clubs and the V pants that disappear in a firefight.
