Cyberpunk 2077<\/a> has just passed another huge sales milestone for CD Projekt Red, showing that despite a somewhat disastrous launch, the retro-futuristic role-playing game remains an incredible success for the Polish studio.<\/p>\n

CD Projekt Red announced today that Cyberpunk 2077 had passed 40m sales which, when you consider Cyberpunk 2077 passed 35m sales<\/a> back in November, represents impressively strong ongoing momentum.<\/p>\n

“40 million copies sold shows the incredible, lasting strength of Cyberpunk 2077 and is a testament to what CD Projekt does best – creating high-quality, immersive stories that keep players returning for years,” commented Micha&lstrok; Nowakowski, joint-CEO of the company. “It’s a great foundation for our upcoming projects in this universe, including the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 anime arriving this fall.”<\/p>\n

For reference, The Witcher 3 has sold 65m units worldwide<\/a>. Both tallies represent extraordinary successes in the video game world.<\/p>\n

The reason for Cyberpunk 2077’s ongoing success is not detailed, but it probably has something to do with the additional Switch 2 version<\/a> released last year, the popularity of the Netflix Cyberpunk Edgrunners series, which is about to get a second season<\/a>, and something to do with attractive discounts offered late into the game’s lifetime. Cyberpunk 2077 is currently 70 percent-off on Steam<\/a>, for example.<\/p>\n

CD Projekt Red is also a big believer in long-term support for its games – an effort that was doubled here by virtue of such a messy launch. The turnaround point for Cyberpunk 2077<\/a> is largely accepted to have been the excellent expansion Phantom Liberty<\/a>, which arrived in autumn 2023 alongside a 2.0 systems overhaul for the base game<\/a>. But support continues even now with a PS5 Pro update for the game that Digital Foundry analysed<\/a> and said made for “a much better looking game”.<\/p>\n

There is of course a sequel in development, Cyberpunk 2<\/a>, which is being made by CD Projekt Red’s relatively new Boston office in the US – a studio that’s to be the home of Cyberpunk going forwards. Meanwhile, over at Poland HQ, CD Projekt Red is hard at work on The Witcher 4<\/a>, while simultaneously overseeing an unprecedented expansion for The Witcher 3 called Songs of the Past.<\/a><\/p>\n

CD Projekt also recently rebranded to CD Projekt Red<\/a> – Red being the name of its game development studio which used to sit alongside a game distribution company and GOG, but with those arms of the business gone, game-making serves as the totality of what the company does.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cyberpunk 2077 has just passed another huge sales milestone for CD Projekt Red, showing that despite a somewhat…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":742271,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[74],"class_list":["post-742270","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-technology","tag-technology"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/742270","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=742270"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/742270\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/742271"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=742270"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=742270"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=742270"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
