Cyberpunk 2077 has sold more than 30 million copies since its release in December 2020. While the RPG was originally mired in controversy due to its performance issues and available features, developer CD Projekt RED has supplied it with multiple major updates and content releases.

CD Projekt RED announced the new sales milestone for Cyberpunk 2077 in its latest earnings report. “I’m very happy to see a large, dedicated community coalesce around our Cyberpunk games,” said co-CEO Michał Nowakowski.

While Cyberpunk 2077 was at the center of controversy following its release less than four years ago, CD Projekt RED was able to spin the narrative on its sci-fi RPG through several patches and content releases. This culminated in the release of Phantom Liberty, an expansion that brought additional story content and features to Cyberpunk 2077 last year. Phantom Liberty has now sold more than 8 million copies. The Cyberpunk: Edgerunners anime on Netflix also helped to renew interest in the game.

Lastly, CD Projekt has confirmed that its next Witcher game has officially moved into full-scale production. The studio is also in the early phases of developing a sequel to Cyberpunk 2077.

      Waiting for the steam sale to see if it's going to be there, and if not I'll pick it up on epic since it's on sale there. Just built a new gaming PC and I have been eyeing this one to put the system through its paces.

          Because I've been out of PC gaming for years and need to expand my digital storefronts. From GOG it is!

        I wish we would have got another Cyberpunk before the next Witcher. Also that they wouldn't have abandoned their engine for UE 5.

          I would wager some money their tooling was way behind UE5s causing slow development in some areas, and would be super expensive and time consuming to update their own engine. They can likely port their renderer to UE pretty quickly and then immediately take advantage of Unreal's tooling and artist friendly workflow.

      Talk about one of the biggest gaming redemption arcs of all time. Ended up being in my gaming top 10. It is such a fantastic game.

        I thought it was great, but I didn't play it until after Phantom Liberty came out.

        I liked it in the beginning, but it became astonishing after their revamp!
