The premiere of Cyberpunk 2077 cannot be clearly defined as a great success for CD Projekt RED. While the 8 million pre-orders that have managed to refund all production and marketing costs are impressive, there remains a disgust at the technical state of the cyberpunk RPG. It has a significant impact on the number of returns and contributed to such a drastic step as the withdrawal of the game from sale in the PlayStation Store digital distribution store. Some players probably keep purchasing the game all the time, waiting for the title to be repaired in the next patches, especially on old-gen consoles. Despite the problems, CD Projekt RED can boast of great sales results of Cyberpunk 2077, which in terms of level approached Red Dead Redemption 2 from Rockstar Games.

We know the official sales results of Cyberpunk 2077. The game has sold out to 20 December with a circulation exceeding 13 million copies. It is expected that by Christmas this figure will increase to 4 million 16. All kinds of game twists are included in the results.

Results disclosed include returns for both boxed and electronic versions, and player submissions under the “Help Me Refund” campaign. We don’t know how many units have been returned, but they certainly made an impact on the bottom line, as did the temporary discontinuation of production on PlayStation Store. Cyberpunk 2077 failed to beat GTA V score (over 11 million copies on release) but was very close. All in all, sales are slightly worse than RDR2 (17 million in twelve days).

It is worth recalling that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt in a similar period (fourteen days) sold out in more than 4 million copies. Cyberpunk’s sales and budget 2077 are much higher, although the former could have been even better if not for the technical condition of the game, especially on consoles, and numerous returns made precisely because of the accumulation of bugs and poor optimization (recent updates have somewhat improved the situation). However, sales should remain at a high level over the next few months. One that at the beginning 2021 of the year there are no major releases, and two are planned for January and February two major updates to the game, which are to fix most of Cyberpunk’s ills 2077. If the RPG is properly refined on all hardware platforms, the title may sell no worse than immediately after the premiere, especially since many players wait for CD Projekt RED to patch it up enough.
