Developer CD Projekt Red announced that Cyberpunk 2077 has sold 20 million units and thanked the players for their support via a tweet. It would not be wrong to say that the game, which reached a sales figure of 2022 million at the end of April 18, revived its popularity after the latest update of Edgerunners (also the name of an animated series set in the Cyberpunk universe published on Netflix).

Cyberpunk 2020, originally released in December 2077 after multiple delays; It was heavily criticized for its bugs, glitches, and nearly unplayable status on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 consoles. Sony even took the drastic action of removing the PS2077 version of Cyberpunk 4 from sale on the PlayStation Store for a while.

It is currently one of the most played games on Steam, with over 86.000 concurrent players, making it the seventh most played game on the platform.
