Cyberpunk 2077 is losing player base quicker than Witcher 3

According to the stats provided by Githyp, It took relatively longer for Witcher 3 to see a drop in the player count, and it seems like this is another area where Cyberpunk has managed to best his predecessor. As per the reports from Githyp the franchise is in serious trouble in terms of users playing the game, on the contrary, the same game managed to put a record-breaking number of over 1 million concurrent players on the launch date.

This can be attributed to the game not being able to perform up to the mark, as fans expected a lot more from the famous gaming studio CD Projekt RED (CDPR). The game was well-received on the PC platform while the older gen console users reported a majority of the performance issue. The developers have already offered an apology along with refunds to the users who are not happy with the game.
