The Cyberpunk 2077 franchise has seen recent growth through new media and community projects. In mid-October 2026, Weird Co. announced the official licensed trading card game, ‘Cyberpunk TCG: Welcome to Night City’, scheduled for a November 6 release in the United States. Concurrently, a community-developed multiplayer mod named ‘OPEN//77’ was released for the PC version, introducing features such as custom economies and PvP combat.

By late October 2026, the game experienced a significant resurgence on Steam, reaching a three-year peak of 162,291 concurrent players. This increase in activity is attributed to the release of the free ‘Edgerunners 2 Update’, the launch of the second season of the ‘Cyberpunk: Edgerunners’ anime on Netflix, and a 70% discount on the Steam store. The update introduced new gameplay mechanics, including the ‘Double Trouble’ perk and a new story mission titled ‘Clampdown’.
