CD Projekt Red has announced that Cyberpunk 2077 has sold more than 40 million copies across its various editions, marking a major commercial milestone for a title that endured a turbulent launch cycle.
The company credited player engagement and sustained post‑launch support in its statement announcing the figure.
Cyberpunk 2077 initially launched on December 10, 2020.
The release was widely criticized for technical problems on older consoles, prompting recalls from retailers and a period of intensive patching from CD Projekt Red.
Over subsequent years, the developer issued multiple updates and the Phantom Liberty expansion, released in 2023, which expanded the game’s narrative content and was positioned as a major addition to the base experience.
In announcing the sales milestone, CD Projekt Red offered a message of gratitude to its player base.
In journalistic terms, the company thanked its community for their support and said that player engagement helped the title reach this significant milestone.
The 40 million figure covers lifetime sales across the game’s releases and editions.
CD Projekt Red has emphasized its post‑launch remediation and content roadmap in recent corporate communications, highlighting how sustained support and expansions contributed to renewed critical and commercial interest.
Alongside the Cyberpunk announcement, CD Projekt Red confirmed production work on an additional expansion for The Witcher III: Wild Hunt in collaboration with external studio Fool’s Theory.
The company noted the project is in production but did not provide platform details or a release window in the same announcement.
For Nintendo platform audiences following CD Projekt Red’s efforts, availability and platform support have evolved since the original launch.
While Cyberpunk 2077’s history is most closely associated with PC and consoles at launch, the franchise’s ongoing updates and reissues have broadened its presence across multiple platforms over time.
CD Projekt Red’s sales disclosure underscores a broader industry pattern in which long‑term post‑release support and major expansions can substantially alter a game’s commercial trajectory.
With 40 million units reported sold, Cyberpunk 2077 now stands as one of the more notable recovery stories in recent AAA game development, and the announced Witcher III project will be watched closely for platform and release details.
