The gold standard in games retaining playerbases in this genre is Baldur’s Gate 3, which still puts up over 100,000 players nightly, though it released just over a year and a half ago.

"Released"...

Going off memory but I think BG3's act 1 was out before cyberpunk or close to the same time. I had 100+ hours before the game released, and it was with huge gaps of play time. I think it was in Beta for at least two years.

Well… Cyberpunk was basically an unfinished alpha when it was released.

Also, BG3 has no major DLC.

I played it the day it was released on pc, the only issue was how shitty the cars drove. But you could change the setting so bikes were usable

Consoles were different, but PC I never really had issues.

On launch it was surprisingly playable on Stadia. My first playthrough was entirely on Stadia.
