In an incredible announcement, CD Projekt revealed that its hit game Cyberpunk 2077 has reached an incredible milestone of 25 million sales. This news highlights the game's continued popularity despite the fact that it was first met with significant attention and controversy upon its introduction.
This excellent amount represents a significant increase from the company's 18 million revenues announced in April and the 20 million level achieved in September. During an investor presentation, CEO Adam Kiciski happily announced this huge achievement, highlighting the game's quick rise in the gaming industry.
"The phenomenal Witcher 3 reached a similar level in 4.5 years, while Cyberpunk took a little more than two years since its release." So, we're selling significantly faster than the Witcher game," Kiciski said, highlighting the game's outstanding performance.
As one of the most anticipated games of the previous console generation, Cyberpunk 2077 has created a lot of buzz. According to CD Projekt, the game received eight million pre-orders alone, showing the fervour of its fan base. That amount increased to an incredible 13 million units sold during the game's launch month in December 2020.
Piotr Nielubowicz, Chief Financial Officer added to the celebration by sharing another incredible achievement. "Phantom Liberty," the game's first and only expansion was a huge success selling three million copies between September 26 and October 3.
"To explain this," Nielubowicz explained, "we estimated how many gamers now have the main game on PC or the new consoles—all the platforms that allow you to play it—and it's 20 million." Twenty million gamers who own the main game or have upgraded from the old-gen to the new-gen version. So, within a week, 15% of all players purchased the expansion."
Nielubowicz continued, "This is a phenomenal result, and this is just the beginning—the sales keep on climbing."
When the sales were broken down by platform, it was discovered that 68% of "Phantom Liberty" sales occurred on PC (including 10% on GOG), 20% on PS5, and 13% on Xbox Series X/S.
The massive success of Cyberpunk 2077, as well as the amazed acceptance of its expansion, "Phantom Liberty," testify to CD Projekt's going on impact in the gaming industry and the loyalty of its loyal fan base. With these incredible achievements, the future of the Cyberpunk universe is brighter than ever.
