Cyberpunk 2077 Smashes Steam's Record for Concurrent Players in a Single Player Game

Cyberpunk has set a new record for the highest number of concurrent players in a single player game, dominating the previous high by more than double. As tracked by Steam Database, Cyberpunk 2077 saw a record high of 1,003,262 players within hours of it launching at midnight GMT on December 10. The previous peak players for a single player video game on Steam was held by Fallout 4, which back at its launch in 2015 achieved 472,962 players. As you can see, Cyberpunk 2077 has more than doubled that record.

Factoring in consoles and Stadia, too, and there were certainly a lot of people playing Cyberpunk within hours of its release.
