In a remarkable turn, Cyberpunk 2077 has gone from being one of the most criticized launches in 2020 to becoming a major commercial success, reaching the impressive figure of 35 million copies sold in less than five years. This notable resurgence is attributed not only to a series of patches that improved the gaming experience but also to the Phantom Liberty expansion and the acclaimed anime Edgerunners, which revitalized interest in the CD Projekt RED title.

Sales figures even surpass those of The Witcher 3, which took six years to reach 30 million units. This success has driven a 53% increase in third-quarter revenues for 2025, reaching 349 million zlotys (82 million euros), with Cyberpunk 2077 and its expansion leading this financial wave. The game’s return to the PS Store and its inclusion in the PS Plus service have also contributed to its resurgence.

In response to this success, CD Projekt has accelerated the development of the sequel, Cyberpunk 2, which has moved into the pre-production phase. With a projected increase in its workforce that could reach up to 400 employees in the coming years, the studio is laying the groundwork for an expected release, although not before 2028. A team member has hinted that the sequel could feature a new city inspired by a darker Chicago, in addition to Night City.

The anticipation is also palpable for The Witcher 4, which has been nominated for “Most Anticipated Game” at the 2025 Game Awards, despite no promotional material being released. CD Projekt’s CFO, Piotr Nielubowicz, has commented on the high expectations for this installment, confirming that they are still in the development stages and there will be no new content at the gala. With several projects underway, CD Projekt is positioning itself for an exciting future in the world of video games.
