Steam uses their own version of Digital Rights Management (DRM.) Basically it just means you need to have the steam client open when launching and playing a game. Even if you're playing offline or without any Internet.
That's not true.
You can play the Steam version of the Witcher 3 without having to launch Steam. Opening the witcher3.exe from the game's folder will launch it regardless of Steam and internet connection.
I expect Cyberpunk to be the same, but no one can be sure at this point.
