Cyberpunk 2077 reaches 40 million copies sold as of July 3

Cyberpunk 2077 has passed 40 million copies sold worldwide as of July 3, according to CD Projekt. The total includes standalone copies and Ultimate Edition bundles, giving the 2020 RPG another sales milestone more than five years after launch.

VGC and Game Developer both reported the figure from CD Projekt’s official post. The new number means the game has added roughly 5 million copies since the previously reported 35 million mark.

For players, the number matters because Cyberpunk 2077 is no longer discussed only as a troubled 2020 launch. The original console versions were criticized for bugs and performance problems, and Sony temporarily removed the game from the PlayStation Store. Since then, CD Projekt has shipped years of patches, the 2.0 overhaul, the Phantom Liberty expansion, and the Ultimate Edition.

The r/Games discussion reflected that split. Some commenters pointed to Phantom Liberty and the current build as the reason the game kept selling. Others focused on the launch state and argued that post-release recovery should not erase the cost paid by early console buyers.

CD Projekt now has Cyberpunk 2 in development and Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 planned for this fall. The 40 million figure gives the studio a large audience to build from, but it also raises the launch-quality bar for the next game. The market has rewarded the recovery; players in the thread are still judging how the recovery happened.
