If there’s one thing Cyberpunk 2077 will be remembered for, it’s its eventful release. So expected as the messiah, the title of CD Projekt flopped with critics and was singled out for its finish. The Polish studio, however, did not let go and continued to work on her baby to improve it. The efforts pay off, since the title is one of the most popular of Steam in this year 2021.

The platform has indeed released its top titles that made the year 2021. There is no ranking strictly speaking (no number 1, therefore) but levels that define the popularity of a game. Thus, Cyberpunk 2077 is placed at the top.

Cyberpunk 2077, one of the most played titles of the year

Cyberpunk 2077 rises to the pantheon of “platinum” titles who have exceeded 200,000 simultaneous players alongside New World, DOTA 2, GTA V (which seems indestructible) but also Valheim, little surprise of the year.

Regarding sales, Cyberpunk 2077 is categorized as “silver”, not “platinum”. This reflects already very good sales figures in 2020, but also good momentum this year, in particular thanks to promotions. It is thus placed alongside successes like Resident Evil Village, Mass Effect Legendary Edition or Age of Empires 4. We are still on the high level. Note also that GTA 5 remains one of the best-selling Steam games of the year on Steam and that it is placed alongside Battlefield 2042, a title which also had a tumultuous launch.

CD Projekt continues to work on his Cyberpunk 2077. While the PS4 and Xbox One versions seem unrecoverable, the PC version is now relatively clean, although there are still plenty of bugs left. In 2022, the app will benefit from a PS5 and Xbox Series X version which, we hope, will be up to the task. Then, players should take advantage of DLC of magnitude, CD Projekt wishing to reproduce what had been done with The Witcher 3.
