Cyberpunk 2077: More than 20 million units Sold

Since its release in the late year of 2020, CD Projekt RED’s latest role-playing game, Cyberpunk 2077, has surpassed 20 million copies sold, the developer announced today. This marks an important sales milestone for the company’s latest RPG. The game has reached this impressive number at the same time that it is experiencing a massive revival in players as a consequence of recent major updates and the reveal of an Edgerunners spin-off anime.

“Over 20 million cyberpunks have been roaming the streets of Night City—partying with Jackie and getting to know Johnny, driving around with Panam and diving with Judy, hanging out with River and listening to Kerry’s songs,” CD Projekt tweeted on twitter. “Thank you and we hope to see you all in the Afterlife!”

Selling 20 million units is an incredible feat that places the game in some very spectacular company, including CD Projekt’s previous game, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, though it’s still a long way from true goliaths like Minecraft (238 million), Grand Theft Auto 5 (170 million), or PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds (75 million). Even more astounding is the speed with which it completed the accomplishment. It took six years for Stardew Valley to sell 20 million units, four years for The Witcher 3, and it took less than two years for Cyberpunk 2077.

In the three weeks it was released in 2020, Cyberpunk 2077 sold more over 13 million copies across PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox series X|S, according to CD Projekt Red in April 2021. However, interest in the game had waned since then owing to a slew of issues and malfunctions that prompted owners to request refunds and caused Sony to briefly remove the game from its PlayStation Store.

Throughout 2021, the developer rectified many of the game’s issues, causing more players to play again. Then, in recent weeks, CD Projekt Red released Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, a planned expansion for the game starring Keanu Reeves and a Netflix miniseries. A week following the show’s debut, there was an uptick in Cyberpunk 2077 gamers.

This sales milestone is only the most recent in a streak of good news for Cyberpunk 2077, which is a welcome change of pace following the game’s terrible debut. Over 1 million gamers stepped into Night City every day last week, according to CD Projekt. Earlier this month, Cyberpunk 2077 had its greatest simultaneous player load on Steam in over a year and a half.
The Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty expansion will be released in 2023 on PC, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Google Stadia, with no compatibility for last-gen consoles. After taking over the project from Saber Interactive, CD Projekt RED is also working on a new The Witcher entry as well as the long-awaited The Witcher 3 next-gen edition.
