The daily peak averaged roughly 49,000 between September 26 and October 19, then hit 55,678 on October 20, the day Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 began streaming on Netflix, and 91,417 on October 22, when a free update tied to the anime launched. On October 25 the count reached 187,215 concurrent players, according to the SteamDB database. Netflix posted all 10 episodes of the anime at once; it is a standalone story with new characters, produced by CD PROJEKT RED with animation studio TRIGGER. The free update, numbered 2.5, added a side quest written as a prequel to the series, a radio station stocked with the anime's music, and a perk for dual-wielding Power pistols and revolvers.
The 187,215 peak was logged at 14:50 UTC on October 25, which is 23:50 on the same date in Japan. The figure is measured against a baseline that spans September 26 to October 19 in UTC, when the daily peak averaged about 49,000, a number given as an editorial estimate rather than a SteamDB reading.
Each addition in the October 22 patch carries its own name. The side quest is "Clampdown," written as a prequel to the anime. The radio station is "HKGN 102.0 FM," stocked with music from the series. The new perk is "Double Trouble," which lets a player dual-wield Power pistols and revolvers.
The update is titled the "Edgerunners 2" Update, numbered 2.5. CD PROJEKT RED posted a video walkthrough of its new elements on YouTube under the title "Cyberpunk 2077 | Introduction of New Elements in the 'Edgerunners 2' Update." The Steam version of the game sells for 8,778 yen.
