Despite undergoing one of the most extensive and expensive promotional processes in history in 2020, Cyberpunk 2077 faced significant issues, deemed disastrous, upon its release, leading to player dissatisfaction, refund requests, and even legal actions against CD Projekt RED. However, in recent times, the game developer has managed to mend its relationship with players to a large extent. The 2.0 update and the Phantom Liberty DLC, released in the past weeks, contributed to the game regaining popularity.
Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty dropped on Steam charts
The 2.0 update and Phantom Liberty DLC indeed revitalized Cyberpunk 2077, with the standard game reaching the second position and the DLC claiming the third position on Steam’s charts two weeks ago. Considering that Counter-Strike 2, developed by Valve, held the first position, this was considered a significant achievement.
According to the latest report from Steam, this situation has changed. Last week, the standard game dropped to the seventh position, and the new DLC fell to the tenth position. This has led to speculations among players that the game is losing its regained popularity.
The Phantom Liberty DLC received very positive reviews on Steam with 8,016 ratings. A similar situation applies to the standard game. Of course, it is important to note the significant contribution of the free 2.0 update to the success of the standard game in sales.
