Cyberpunk 2077 remains an active property through deep discounts, a modding community, crossovers, and the upcoming Cyberpunk: Edgerunners II anime, which is set for a fall 2026 premiere.
Cyberpunk 2077 continues to draw engagement years after launch. A 70% discount sale on Steam pushed concurrent players past 80,000 on June 28 and over 100,000 by early July, with the game surpassing 40 million copies sold globally as of July 3. The same sale, running through mid-July, framed the game as a genre staple during Valve's Steam Cyberpunk Fest, where it was listed at 2,633 yen.
The property's expansion into other media remains central. Netflix confirmed Cyberpunk: Edgerunners II for a fall 2026 premiere, with Studio Trigger returning and Bartosz Sztybor as showrunner. The 10-episode sequel tells a standalone story with a new cast, positioning the franchise as an anthology. The original anime's success helped revive interest in the game, and the sequel's teaser drew attention ahead of its release. Modders continue to support the game, from recreating Edgerunners II character Talia to a volunteer multiplayer mod that tested with 66 players.
Crossovers extend the brand beyond its own titles. A July collaboration with Apex Legends transformed the E-District map into Night City, adding cyberware mechanics and a Mythic Alternator skin featuring Skippy. Merchandise and retail presence also grow, with a Cyberpunk 2077 pop-up store at Ikebukuro PARCO in September and themed goods at Tokyo Game Show 2026. The company behind the game, CD Projekt, voted to rename itself CD Projekt Red, unifying corporate and studio identity as it develops multiple projects under Unreal Engine 5.
