Cyberpunk 2077 has surpassed 18 million copies sold

Last night, CD Projekt Red held its quarterly investors call, unveiling new milestones, changes within the company, and future plans at the studio. Surprisingly, the studio gave us our first update on Cyberpunk 2077 sales in over a year. 

In 2020, Cyberpunk 2077 sold 13.7 million copies, a figure that accounted for refunds given after the game's rocky launch. Now following a year of patches and the arrival of the next-gen console update, the game has surpassed 18 million copies sold.

Aside from the sales milestone, CD Projekt also revealed that it is “satisfied” with Cyberpunk 2077 and will no longer be focusing the bulk of its efforts on gameplay improvements and bug fixes:

“We believe in the long-term potential of our newest release; thus, one of our priorities for 2021 was to improve Cyberpunk 2077 gameplay. We are now satisfied with the game and encouraged by the gamers’ reception of its next-gen console edition, which launched this February. Altogether, we’ve now sold over 18 million copies of Cyberpunk 2077”, CD Projekt CFO, Piotr Nielubowicz said.

Moving forward, the company is shifting things around to focus on the game's upcoming expansion, and development on other projects, like the new Witcher game.

KitGuru Says: Despite its initial flaws and slow progress on fixes, Cyberpunk 2077 has been a commercial success. The game isn't finished just yet though, as there are still plans for free DLCs and a major expansion.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
