Strong Cyberpunk sales drive record Q3 financial results for CD Projekt
THE GAME HAD A RESURGENCE FOLLOWING A MAJOR UPDATE AND THE LAUNCH OF A NETFLIX TIE-IN SHOW

Strong Cyberpunk 2077 sales helped drive record third quarter financial results for CD Projekt, the company announced on Monday. The open-world RPG saw a spike in player numbers in September coinciding with the launch of its major 1.6 patch, a half-price discount on Steam, and the release of Netflix’s anime series Cyberpunk Edgerunners. CD Projekt claimed in September that the game was attracting over one million players daily and that it had surpassed 20 million sales – up from 18 million reported by the company in April. This resurgence helped the company achieve record results for its third financial quarter ended on September 30, CD Projekt said today. “In terms of financials, this was the best third quarter in our entire history. With consolidated revenues at 246 million PLN [$54.6m]– mostly owing to strong sales of Cyberpunk–the Group posted 99 million PLN [$21.3m] in net profit,” said chief financial officer Piotr Nielubowicz. “This translates into a net profitability of 40% for the whole Group, and a whopping 47% for the CD Projekt Red segment. “We carry on with intensive development work on the Cyberpunk expansion, as well as on other projects,” he added. Cyberpunk 2077’s first and only expansion, Phantom Liberty, will be released for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S in 2023. In October, CD Projekt Red outlined its development slate for the foreseeable future, including a Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, a new trilogy of Witcher games, Witcher spin-offs, and the studio’s first original IP. More recently, CD Projekt confirmed it’s working on a “full-fledged remake” of the original The Witcher game using Unreal Engine 5. Following several delays and a change of developer, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt’s new-gen update will be released on December 14 as a standalone purchase for PC, Xbox Series X/S and PS5, and as a free update for players who already own the game on PC and last-gen consoles.

same way no mans land and sea of thieves n state of decay and fall out 76 become decent to good games after they kept pluggin and what anthem should have done instead of abandoning the game altogether...

im still playing the demo and other than the wonky shooting, it so far seems captivating to say the least, although the graphics dont blow me away (never thought they would) but i like the aesthetic

The game is so fu*kin mid

So much wasted potential

Edgerunners crack tho

Difference this wasn’t supposed to be a live service game.

Let’s be honest. All the criticisms we have about every game. From getting a million delays to shipping with bugs (lol) to not delivering promised features to have p*ss poor AI etc.

All apply to this game.

Yeah played it a little bit when I first got my 5 but it was still pretty buggy right around the time you first meet up with Panam so I put it on hold while I ran through other games.

It’s the very top of my backlog though after GOW. If only just to give it a second look and see how the update fares.

I picked it up dropped it like 2 times maybe this next sale I’ll get into it

Bout to get back into it since I finished GOW, wont buy callisto protocol till I finish this sh*t

Game has a ton of potential but the def dropped the ball

I had it since day 1.

Too buggy on ps4 so I sat on it. When i finally copped a 5 a tried a lil bit but stopped once elden ring hit. Decided to just wait on ps5 patch. Picked it back up since and been pretty dope so far

I like the game

Reminds me of total recall

Can't wait until we get some DLC or a new cyber punk.

i thought it was wack the first maybe, 10 minutes in

it turned out as one of my favorite games of all time

Gotta level that up bruh!

Sandy And that Malorian with 20 reflex And cold blood is sick love this game can’t wait for more updates

Shouldn't take 2yrs for a game to finally be playable especially when it was announced during the ps3/360 life cycle. Canceled my pre order after they took 3rd person away. What's the point of all that character customization if you can't even see them. It was no then & still no now

It's wild how many games are starting to recover from terrible releases a year later.

Maybe developers should just release finished product and skip the year of terrible buzz

Bought this game for stadia and sh*t lagged like crazy supposedly they refunding folks so im looking for my dough lol, game could still be good with the right updates I believe

This game is cold as fu*k. I just copped the GoW PS5 and finally got this too after waiting so long. Been playing this more than GoW, and I loved Gow 2018

Why this got downvoted lol

It always looked corny to me ‘cyberpunk’ imagine a generic name like that to a genre and the promotion led by keanu reeve. If you like it tho more power to you little homie. I remember my little cousin was so hyoed about this game never watched Blade Runner, Ghost in Shell, or The Matrix, and if I mentioned Philip k. d*ck or Robert Anton Wilson he gave me a gas face lol but was so hyped for this game. They released it broken as sh*t but pivoted to get the easily influenced back through marketing. To me this game is 90% marketing and I am immune to that.

I still don't like the fact that again cdpr dropped a buggy piece of sh*t and then when it is $20 they finally fixed it up.

A big fu*k you to the early consumers, never buying another one of their games in the first year.

Indeed.

Will cop now though.

Game ain't bad at all, problem was the overhype from reddit nerds, twitter, and it being badly optimized for consoles. If you had a good pc it was good, especially with the mods out at the time. If you can get it for cheap, get it, game aint bad at all, Solid 7.5 game.

Shoulda did this to begin with.

Doesn’t really matter now. It’s gonna be known as one of the worst launches

It was “supposed” to be the game that took GOTY over TLOU2 lol

Yea, the backlog crazy…. Just copped MW2 and GOW… preorder Callisto Protocol … still gotta finish Elden Ring and Forbidden West. Crisis Core also around the corner, and Evil West looks interesting as well …. Way too many games coming
