\nThe company recently pushed out a press release that acted as a sort of reflection on last year\u2019s progress. In it, CD Projekt Red confirms that Cyberpunk 2077 sales reached 13.7 million copies sold by the end of 2020. That isn\u2019t counting any copies of the game that were sold after the first of this year.
\nAltogether, total sales for 2020 amounted to around $563 million in revenue for the studio. Mostly driven by Cyberpunk 2077. Suffice it to say that even though the game had a rough launch, it was still extremely successful. CD Projekt Red says it\u2019s the studio\u2019s biggest game in history.
\nBeating out even The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. That said, The Witcher 3 had a good year in 2020 as well. Despite being released more than a few years ago, around 30 million copies were sold last year. Second only to the game\u2019s release year.
\nGame setbacks and refunds were a drop in the bucket of Cyberpunk 2077 sales
\nFans had the right to be upset over the game\u2019s launch. All of the bugs, even after the many delays, were not warmly received. Pushing Sony to remove the game\u2019s digital version from the PlayStation Store. To which it has yet to return, leaving PS4 and PS5 owners with only the physical copies to purchase.
\nBut, the refunds don\u2019t appear to have had a big impact on the game\u2019s overall sales numbers. However, it did have an impact on how CD Projekt Red will run its studio for game development going forward. So perhaps good came out of the tumultuous launch in the end.
\nAccording to the company\u2019s full financial report, refunds and additional losses related to the game will total around $51 million. Out of the game\u2019s 13.7 million copies sold, only around 215,000 were refunded.
\nAll roads lead to Night City
\nCD Projekt Red surely made plenty of missteps with the development and release of its most recent game. But that hasn\u2019t stopped it from being a huge success. Of course sales don\u2019t necessarily translate to overall enjoyment. But it stands to reason that of all the millions of copies which weren\u2019t refunded, those buyers probably enjoyed the game at least a little bit. Enough to keep them from refunding.
\nOn the path ahead, all roads lead to Night City as CD Projekt Red plans to continue with future updates for the game. It has yet to get any of the planned DLC, which is slated for a release in the back half of 2021. So it might not be too long before players are jumping back into its vast and chaotic world.
