In a remarkable turnaround story, CD Projekt Red's "Cyberpunk 2077" has eclipsed the 30 million copies sold mark, demonstrating the power of perseverance and the potential for redemption in the gaming world. Despite a rocky launch marred by bugs and performance issues, the game's journey from controversy to triumph showcases the developer's commitment to its community and the enduring appeal of the Cyberpunk genre.





Since its initial release in December 2020, "Cyberpunk 2077" faced significant backlash due to technical flaws, particularly on last-gen consoles. However, CD Projekt Red did not shy away from the criticism; instead, they embraced it, rolling out numerous patches and updates to enhance gameplay, fix bugs, and improve performance. This dedication paid off, as evidenced by the game's latest sales figures.


  • Sales Surge: The game has now sold over 30 million copies, a figure that not only reflects its popularity but also its recovery from its troubled debut. This success is echoed by the expansion "Phantom Liberty," which has sold over 8 million copies, contributing significantly to the franchise's overall sales numbers.


  • Continued Development: While "Cyberpunk 2077" might not receive major updates in the future, as the team shifts focus to new projects, including the next Witcher game and a potential sequel to Cyberpunk, the support it has received post-launch has been substantial. The game's narrative depth, character development, and expansive world have kept players engaged, with the latest update providing polish and new content like vehicle customization.


  • Fan and Critical Reception: The gaming community's response has been overwhelmingly positive post-updates, with many fans revisiting or newly discovering the rich, dystopian world of Night City. Critics, who were initially harsh, have also noted the improvements, with some even revising their scores, acknowledging the game's growth.


  • Cultural Impact: "Cyberpunk 2077" has not only succeeded commercially but has also left a cultural footprint, inspiring cosplay, fan art, and even educational discussions on cybernetics and future tech ethics. It has become a benchmark for what can be achieved with continuous developer support and community feedback.


Some Closing Thoughts:


The sales milestone of "Cyberpunk 2077" serves as a beacon for the gaming industry. It's a narrative of resilience, illustrating that with dedication, transparency, and responsiveness to player feedback, a game can overcome its initial setbacks. As CD Projekt Red turns the page with new projects on the horizon, "Cyberpunk 2077" remains a testament to the potential for games to evolve, improve, and ultimately, captivate millions long after their launch.
