Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 is officially a hit. A new report confirms the Netflix anime has pulled in millions of views, ranking it among the biggest releases of the year — not just on the streamer, but across most of 2026's anime slate, per ComicBook Anime.

The result extends one of the more improbable success stories in the game-to-anime pipeline. The original Edgerunners, set in the world of CD Projekt RED's Cyberpunk 2077, became a 2022 phenomenon that famously revived interest in the game itself. A sequel carried real risk — the first season's story was self-contained and emotionally final — but the viewership numbers suggest the audience showed up regardless.

For Netflix, it's another data point that premium video game adaptations are a reliable engine, and for CD Projekt RED it keeps the Cyberpunk brand hot ahead of the franchise's next game era.

Strong streaming performance also tends to shape what gets greenlit next. With Edgerunners 2 landing among the year's top anime, expect the game-adaptation gold rush to keep accelerating.
