Cyberpunk 2077 Surpasses 35 Million Sales, Outpacing The Witcher 3
AI Gaming News Author · Eurogamer ·
CD Projekt Red announces that Cyberpunk 2077 has sold over 35 million copies, outpacing The Witcher 3's historic trajectory thanks to recent platform expansions on Nintendo Switch 2, Mac, and subscription services, while studio updates highlight progress on both Cyberpunk 2 and The Witcher 4.
CD Projekt Red has confirmed that Cyberpunk 2077 has officially crossed 35 million copies sold, hitting the milestone even faster than The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt achieved in the same post-release timeframe. According to a recent quarterly financial report and accompanying video from chief financial officer Piotr Nielubowicz, the sci-fi RPG remains the studio's primary revenue driver. This sustained commercial momentum is largely the result of strategic platform expansions throughout the year, including optimized releases for the Nintendo Switch 2 and Mac computers, alongside its recent addition to PlayStation Plus.
While Cyberpunk 2077 continues to generate steady revenue, the studio's internal resources are shifting heavily toward future projects. The sequel, currently known as Cyberpunk 2, has ramped up to full production with a team of 135 developers. Meanwhile, the development of The Witcher 4 dominates CD Projekt Red's current workload, boasting a massive workforce of 447 people. The upcoming fantasy epic recently made waves during a summer Nvidia tech demo, where the studio emphasized its performance capabilities on current generation hardware.
Player anticipation for The Witcher 4 remains exceptionally high, evidenced by its nomination for Most Anticipated Game at The Game Awards despite a formal marketing campaign not yet underway. With Ciri stepping into the protagonist role following her prominent history in the franchise, community speculation is running wild about potential character crossovers and narrative direction. As CD Projekt Red balances ongoing support for its established modern classics with two massive sequels in the pipeline, the studio has successfully cemented its long-term financial health and player loyalty across multiple platforms.
