The financial report released yesterday by CD Projekt (local time) shows the number of copies sold of a series of blockbuster games, and provides a deeper look into how CD Projekt is raising children. .
The fact that The Witcher and Cyberpunk 2077 series sold well should not come as a surprise. In fact, up to the time of the recorded numbers, The Witcher game series has sold 65 million copies, of which 40 million copies belong to The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. New product Cyberpunk 2077 has sold a total of 18 million copies.
Around this same time last year, when CD Projekt announced its 2020 sales, we saw Cyberpunk 2077 sold 13.7 million copies.

The incomplete state of Cyberpunk 2077 after its release made gamers skeptical, both about the ability and credibility of the CD Projekt house. The developer is constantly patching bugs, updating features to increase game quality, but has not yet fulfilled the old promise.
The spin-off of Cyberpunk 2077 – the additional content for the game promised from the early days is still missing. CD Projekt promises to announce additional downloads for the game next year; A company spokesperson confirmed that a team of 160 people (a quarter of the development team) is working together to perfect the DLC, and promises to bring gamers new content.
Cyberpunk 2077 is also getting more and more elaborate after each update, so it can also be considered as a good time to return, or integrate into the gaming community that still exists today.

The success of The Witcher, specifically The Witcher 3, has put Cyberpunk 2077 in too great a shadow. The high expectations for the game’s future context made the disappointment hard to calm. However, CD Projekt’s reputation has not been broken, the efforts of the team of developers continue to this day, gamers will still keep an eye on CD Projekt’s new project.
The next teaser of The Witcher game is a clear proof of that. With just a picture of a lynx, CD Projekt drains both the intellect and ink of The Witcher enthusiast community. Only a single teaser photo still made players speculate endlessly, everything only ended when the developer spoke up on Twitter.

Cyberpunk 2077 follows in the successful footsteps of The Witcher. It is expected that the movie Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, with an anime style set in the game, will be shown on Netflix this year. The success of Edgerunners will play a role in keeping Cyberpunk 2077 in the hearts of fans, and if it makes a strong impression, game sales will certainly be pushed even higher.
