Cyberpunk 2077 reached a reported peak of 187,215 concurrent Steam players over October 24–25, 2026. That was the game’s highest reported Steam peak since October 2023 and its third-highest overall. Concurrent players are people playing at the same time, so the figure is a Steam count, not a total across platforms or a count of everyone who played during the weekend.
How the peak compared with earlier highs
| Date | Reported concurrent Steam peak | Context |
| December 2020 | About 1.05 million | Launch-era peak |
| September 2022 | 136,724 | Following the first Edgerunners season |
| October 2023 | 274,526 | After Update 2.0 and Phantom Liberty |
| October 24–25, 2026 | 187,215 | Highest peak since October 2023; third-highest overall |
Reports citing SteamDB put the exact October 2026 count at 187,215. The earlier October 2023 peak was higher, as was the roughly 1.05 million launch-era high. Paweł Sasko later rounded the October figure to 187,000 in his own post.
What coincided with the surge
The October peak coincided with Update 2.5, the release period for Cyberpunk: Edgerunners II, and a reported 70% Steam discount. Update 2.5 was reported to add dual-wielding, cosmetic options, customizable cyberware fashion, digital-tourism additions, and a story mission linked to Edgerunners.
Paweł Sasko asked players for feedback
On October 25, Paweł Sasko of CD Projekt celebrated a rounded peak of 187,000 concurrent players on Steam and invited players to share what Update 2.5 could improve.
Players also discussed post-update problems
A Spanish-language video by JugonGamer92 discusses player reports of performance drops and mod problems after Update 2.5. Viewers also described crashes, save-loading failures, visual glitches, mission-progression issues, and mods that stopped working. These are individual reports from players, including accounts from PC and console users.
