Am I SEEING THINGS?!

There are just under 850k playing Cyberpunk on Steam right now...

The highest concurrent player count for Witcher 3 was just over 100k which is really high already.

How the hell this game do this?!

It is literally the most hyped game of the year. This thread is....pointless.

Years of hype, Covid, releasing at a time when there's not a ton of other stuff coming out.

Cyberpunk was always going to be huge.

A heap of money invested into marketing, combined with the PC version being the far and away best looking version given that the next-gen versions aren't coming out yet.

It's been a very hyped game for several years now, plus The Witcher 3 got CDPR a lot of fans, plus the coronavirus is keeping people inside, and so on and so forth. Also I don't think there have been any other massive games being released, apart from the usual Calls of Duty and Assassins Creeds.

It’s like the only big budget fall game that isn’t a dull sequel, and it has all the hype of being the next game from the Witcher 3 devs. Pretty much anyone with a PC that can run the game is probably going to check it out.

Almost a million now...

Yes the stars did align quite a bit for this game, but still almost a MILLION?!

@bisonhero: It's like the only big budget fall game that isn't a dull sequel.

Is there a Dragonball power level meme for “Almost 1 million!”?

If not, I don’t got much to work with here.

I mean it makes sense. I feel like the only thing that could have possibly out hyped this would be like.. suddenly Half Life 3 is real.

Source SDK Base 2013 Multiplayer looking strong

Yep. It's a million.

And this is just on Steam. Not including GoG or consoles.

Makes sense.

thats million bucks i mean players

It had better be almost a million, for all the money CDPR has poured into marketing. Frankly, I'm tired of seeing ads for it despite being interested in the game.

I don't know why you made this thread. Because, I'm not sure what your point is.

It only makes sense that a game from the same maker to have a comparable performance of another game they made. That's why brands sell.

@giant_gamer: Yes but their point was it isn't comparable. It's 10x the record concurrent players for the Witcher 3. However, as others have pointed out, there are reasons.

@ape_dosmil: oh, it's 10x!

Sorry about that.

A lot of players joined in late to witcher 3 party and fell in love with it, me included so this is another factor.

Not to mention it being a timed exclusive on PC for the next-gen feel.
