Cyberpunk 2077 has crossed 40 million copies sold, giving CD PROJEKT RED another major sales milestone for a game that launched in 2020 under heavy criticism and has since become one of the studio's defining long-tail successes.
Eurogamer reports that CD PROJEKT RED announced the new total today. The jump is notable because the company said in November that Cyberpunk 2077 had passed 35 million copies, meaning the RPG has added another five million sales in a little over seven months.
Michał Nowakowski, joint CEO of CD PROJEKT RED, framed the 40 million figure as proof that Night City still has a long commercial life ahead of it.
"40 million copies sold shows the incredible, lasting strength of Cyberpunk 2077 and is a testament to what CD Projekt does best - creating high-quality, immersive stories that keep players returning for years," Nowakowski said. "It's a great foundation for our upcoming projects in this universe, including the Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 anime arriving this fall."
The comeback keeps selling
Cyberpunk 2077's sales curve now looks very different from the story around its launch. The game arrived in December 2020 with serious technical problems, particularly on last-generation consoles, before CD PROJEKT RED spent years rebuilding player trust through patches, the 2.0 systems overhaul and the Phantom Liberty expansion.
The recent sales pace also lines up with several fresh routes into the game. CD PROJEKT RED said last year that Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty were still driving back-catalogue revenue, helped by the game's arrival on Nintendo Switch 2, Mac and PlayStation Plus Extra and Premium in July 2025. The Steam page also currently lists Cyberpunk 2077 at 70 percent off, giving late adopters another easy entry point.
Those extra routes have turned Cyberpunk 2077 into more than a recovery story. It is now feeding a larger franchise plan, with Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 on the way and a new Cyberpunk game in development at CD PROJEKT RED's Boston studio.
The 40 million total still trails The Witcher 3, which CD PROJEKT RED has said is at 65 million copies sold, but it puts Cyberpunk 2077 in rare company for a modern single-player RPG. It also gives CD PROJEKT RED a stronger base for the next Cyberpunk project than the series appeared to have during the worst days of 2077's launch fallout.
Cyberpunk 2077 has also been visible again on PC during recent discount periods, including a Steam player rebound during a 70 percent sale. That does not explain the full sales jump on its own, but it does show why the game keeps finding new players years after launch.
