Cyberpunk 2077 Just Hit Another Massive Sales Milestone

Sales of CD Projekt Red's 2020 RPG Cyberpunk 2077 continue to grow, as the game has now passed 40 million copies sold. This counts copies sold through July 3, including sales of the base game and copies sold through the game's ultimate edition. Thank you all for helping us reach this amazing milestone, the developer said. The big new sales milestone came after Steam's latest sale saw the game's price fall down to 18, representing a discount of 70. It's on sale for that price until July 9. https://twitter.com/cyberpunkgame/status/2073001445666734085?s=46 The game had sold 35 million copies when CD Projekt Red last made an announcement about its sales numbers in November 2025. The game is selling at a faster rate than The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, which sold more than 60 million units to become one of the top 10 best-selling games of all time. Cyberpunk 2077 had a well-documented disastrous launch in December 2020, but the Polish developer steadily supported, updated, and improved the game over the years. Many are calling it one of the best comeback stories ever for a high-profile game. Things culminated in the Cyberpunk 2077 2.0 release in 2023 and the launch of the stellar Phantom Liberty expansion. A sequel, Cyberpunk 2, is now in the works at the company’s new office in Boston alongside teams in Warsaw and Vancouver. CD Projekt Red is also working on The Witcher 4, which will be followed by The Witcher 5 and The Witcher 6--all three games will release within a six-year period, according to the developer.
