CD Projekt Pink has simply introduced that Cyberpunk 2077 has handed 35m copies bought, and that it reached the milestone quicker than The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt – the sport that preceded it.
CDPR introduced the gross sales milestone on X and in a quarterly monetary report and accompanying video. It was in that video that chief monetary officer Piotr Nielubowicz mentioned, “It is a higher consequence than The Witcher 3 was capable of obtain in the identical post-release timeframe. Cyberpunk is presently our foremost income,” he mentioned, “and we proceed to develop its availability.”
It has been a busy yr for Cyberpunk 2077, with a powerful adaptation launched for the Swap 2 launch earlier this yr, a tailor-made model launched for Mac computer systems, and a launch for Sony’s subscription service PlayStation Plus. All of these items helped push CD Projekt’s earnings greater than when the Cyberpunk 2077 growth Phantom Liberty launched – alongside a significant recreation overhaul – in 2023.
CD Projekt Pink is presently bulking out the Cyberpunk 2 workforce because the mission enters full manufacturing – there are actually 135 builders engaged on the sport, in keeping with the up to date monetary report. However the studio’s greatest mission by far is The Witcher 4, which has 447 individuals engaged on it.

That mission – The Witcher 4 – was proven in an Nvidia-related tech demo in the summertime, and CDPR was insistent that it was working on PS5, at 60 frames-per-second – a powerful declare given the visible high quality on present. Will we see something extra of The Witcher 4 this yr at The Recreation Awards, I ponder? It is one of many titles vying for the Most Anticipated Recreation award – one thing Piotr Nielubowicz referenced on this investor video.
“Lastly I want to point out that we’re flattered by The Witcher 4’s nomination within the Most Anticipated recreation class at this yr’s The Recreation Awards,” he mentioned. “This nomination, which comes even though we have not but kicked off the sport’s correct advertising and marketing marketing campaign, exhibits the extent to which the fourth instalment in The Witcher collection is already hotly anticipated.”
The Witcher 4 stars Geralt’s daughter-like determine and protégé Ciri, who was semi-playable all through The Witcher 3. The query is, will Geralt be semi-playable in her journey – or playable in any respect sooner or later? That we’ll have to attend and see.
