I'll guess it tops out at a million and change.
People thirsty for CP2077 after 5 years
edit: i will not be one of them, since my CDPR mindset is always 'get the patched definitive edition with expansion and dlc already built in'.
Fool me with Witcher once, shame on me. Fool me with another series and 2 Witcher sequels, shame on you.

you may carry on with cyberpunk number posting
I love me some dungeon crawling, but I'm not sure I want to re-do all my progress from the original Sword City release.

Regarding 2077, what's really wild to consider is that -- as far as I know, correct me if I'm wrong -- you only get the game on Steam directly from Steam. So anyone buying a cheaper key or from any other store is not in that number.

Also, on my friend list, at this point, there are twice as many people who have played the game but are now probably sleeping than there are people actively playing it -- and that's not counting those still downloading. I wouldn't be surprised if it had already sold over 2 million units on Steam alone.

Steam is still biggest platform for CDPR.

The jumps are starting to slow down, so I don't know if 1 million will happen. This is also the lowest point for daily Steam activity. If CDPR had released it during peak hours, it would have easily hit >1.5 million.

Well, C77 is massively impressive. Not just because of the fact it runs rather well at Ultra/1080p on my Shadow, but just... The art of it. The vision. Wow.

Man, even with DLSS mode set to quality, Cyberpunk has tons of aliasing. Especially on clothing and ground textures.

It's currently 8PM for me right now. The game runs between 40-60fps for me on low settings on 1440p.

So far the game is kinda ehhhhh

Also only 1 million? I bet if this released on PS5 this would have already hit 5 million I tell you!!!! /S maybe I don't actually know.
20 min in CP and you already see Ciri haaaaaa "retro gaming magazine"

Yeah, I started off with Corpo, and so far it hasn't grabbed me.

My G-sync monitor is certainly getting a workout. God bless VRR. No way in hell could I play this game without it. Runs between 60-90 FPS for me. Below 90 nearly most of the time. Haven't dropped below 60 yet, though.

Using a mix of high and medium settings with RTX @ 1080p.

Cyberpunk opening areas (as nomad, got up to where you pick up your 45 or whatever from the gun vendor after the initial missions/tutorials) run surprisingly well on my PC (3770k/gtx1080). No counter but it feels smooth so probably around 50fps with medium/high settings (high for those important to me, like the last detail/lod one) though I might just increase the graphics, lock to 30 and play with a gamepad given the horrible un-PC menus (think Oblivion, lol). I'm not impressed with the graphics or any part of it yet. It feels super clunky like the 2020 equivalent of Deus Ex: Invisible War in 2003. There aren't many graphical options and in particular I'm annoyed there's very little in terms of lod distance for stuff, even just wandering in the protagonist's small initial apartment and looking at the door from the far corner then walking towards it has the shadow on the door pop-in. Much of the clutter objects everywhere are similar and just materialize as you run around (hate this in so many modern games). My PC probably couldn't handle higher distances but I also can't turn off that clutter altogether either. Bigger environment elements also have really obvious and close up lod switches . Also it has very unrealistic systems, get seen shooting some random for no reason (I was just testing) and police will spawn in and home in on your ass, even from dead ends that were clear just a moment ago and such. I guess this sort of thing is to make it more RPG style than normal action game but even The Witcher or TES games didn't have that so abrupt and just had the proper npc guards and stuff show up when alerted rather than crazy spawns, right? It's definitely not an immersive sim game given stuff like this. So many minor bugs so far too, npcs disappearing in floors or floating in some weird pose, similar for objects, collision issues, checking the mirror shows my character messed up, bald, sometimes naked, instead of with my clothes/looks, there's just a general unpolished, clunky feel (try shooting while carrying a body, lol?).

Well, just got to drive the car...

Holy hell, the driving is awful. GTA 5/Mafia 3 have a better handling model than this.

Yea that Fallout record got crushed lol. 1 million is ridiculous and it should be a little bit higher later in the week.

Not really surprising tbh. Steam is much larger today than it was back in 2015. Also Cyberpunk reviewed better than Fallout 4 despite bugs and the preorder on steam has been available for like 14+ months vs Fallout 4 which only had 4 months.

Bethesda will probably beat this record with Starfield or Elder 6. Those will be very highly anticipated as well. GTA6 would as well if Rockstar actually gave a shit about PC gaming.
