Cyberpunk 2077 Casts Shadow on Call of Duty Modern Warfare II’s Hype by Smashing Steam Records

Call of Duty’s return to Steam has ignited new excitement among all the franchise fans who are hyped for the upcoming Modern Warfare II. So much so that the game has claimed the first spot in Steam’s list of Global Top Sellers. However, the biggest game of 2022 is currently getting an unexpectedly tough challenge from a nearly two-year-old AAA game; it’s none other than CD Projekt Red’s Cyberpunk 2077.

Yes, that’s actually right! Cyberpunk 2077 is smashing records on Steam as of now. Especially after the recent Edgerunners update, combined with the launch of a Netflix series based on the lore of the sci-fi title. As a result of positive momentum, the open-world title has now become one of the best-selling games on Steam, while even threatening a heavyweight like Call of Duty Modern Warfare II.

Cyberpunk 2077 giving Call of Duty Modern Warfare II a run for its money on Steam!

The CD Projekt Red game was released nearly two years ago in December 2020. Not to mention that it turned into a nightmarish experience for many players following an extremely hyped launch. There were extensive issues in the gameplay. However, the ambitious, open-world project seems to have come a long way since those initial days.

It’s because fans are now really digging into Cyberpunk 2077‘s captivating world, thanks to the recent improvements by the developing team. The performance of the sci-fi dystopian game on Steam’s digital store has been undoubtedly amazing lately. Currently, it has become the 2nd best-selling title on Steam‘s Global Top Sellers list.

Cyberpunk 2077 is only behind Call of Duty Modern Warfare II. The latter made it to the top spot with a large amount of pre-order sales. However, Cyberpunk 2077 might end up giving it a run for its money the way it’s swaying the users right now.

It went past 70,000 concurrent users, for the first time since its launch. All of this implies that CD Projekt Red’s team is really putting effort into making it supremely amazing for fans to enjoy.

Fans of the AAA open-world will hope the game succeeds in regaining the glory that it had before the release. This time, it looks like it’s set to deliver a lot on many different aspects.
