New statistics by Valve reveal that Cyberpunk 2077 is the most played and sold game on Steam in 2021, despite its controversial launch and history.
Despite its disastrous launch, new statistics have revealed that Cyberpunk 2077 has risen to the top as one of the most played and sold games on Valve's Steam storefront in 2021. Cyberpunk 2077 received an influx of positive reviews on Steam in the last month, with players blurring out its numerous issues and giving the maligned title a fair shot after continued support from its developers.
Cyberpunk 2077 was released in late 2020 and quickly became one of the most controversial releases in recent video game history after launching with an abundance of serious bugs, low frame rates, and blurry textures that chipped away its performance on multiple platforms.
In a recent statement, the CEO of CD Project Red Adam Kiciński reaffirmed the studio's belief in Cyberpunk 2077 even with its ongoing issues and negative acclaim. Interestingly, Kiciński claims that Cyberpunk 2077 will be perceived as a good game and sell for years, despite its original rocky launch and infamous history.
Although breaking records in 2021, CD Projekt Red's first-person sci-fi sandbox still has a long way to go before its disastrous launch can be redeemed and break the bar set by the studio's universally acclaimed The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. How well Cyberpunk 2077 will be perceived in the future is unknown, but the addition of even more quality-of-life updates in 2022 could vindicate the title.Cyberpunk 2077 is available now across Google Stadia, PC, PlayStation, and Xbox platforms. .
