I think there are three vectors going on:
It's apparently a super good game. I'm just basing it on reviews, I won't be playing it until the PS5 version launches.
It has nudity and is being described as "super horny", so, you know, clickbait.

You've also missed all the hype about the lack of microtransactions. That one is pretty big.
And the bear sex. Although you'd think a sub bullet of point 2, I think its less horniness and more absurdity and "you can do anything".
It's the modern equivalent of "see that mountain? You can go there."
"See that bear? You can fuck it"
It's not REALLY bear sex though, it's a druid who SHAPESHIFTS into a bear...
Poteto potato
It's bear sex without passing Peta off
I was a bit taken aback that, at a certain point in the game during a celebration, neutrality with most companions meant that they all wanted to fuck my brains out. O.o
