"The Polish studio confirmed the 2020 RPG is now its main source of revenue as the rags-to-riches blockbuster reaches 35 million sales before The Witcher 3 did. CDPR revealed the new milestone in its latest earnings report. "That's a better result than The Witcher 3 was able to achieve in the same post-release time frame," CFO Piotr Nielubowicz said. That make it now the company's "main source of income" as it staffs up on Cyberpunk 2, whose development is split between teams in Warsaw and Boston."
"While Cyberpunk is still almost half short of The Witcher 3's 60 million all-time sales, its new record is impressive for a game whose launch was one of the most high-profile disasters in recent gaming history. Despite praise for the PC version, the console port, especially on last-gen consoles, led to viral bug montages, fan revolts, and investor freakouts. It's not every day a game that was once pulled off of PSN by Sony becomes a company's main cash cow."
Cyberpunk 2077 reached 35 million sales and has become CD Projekt Red's main source of revenue, surpassing The Witcher 3's performance in the same post-release timeframe. Development on Cyberpunk 2 is split between Warsaw and Boston, and CDPR expects over 300 developers on the project by the end of 2027. About half the company remains focused on shipping The Witcher 4. Cyberpunk 2077 still trails The Witcher 3's 60 million all-time sales by nearly half. The game's initial launch suffered widespread console-port issues, but extensive patches, the Phantom Liberty expansion, and a strong Switch 2 port drove its recovery and sales growth.
