CD Projekt Red has announced that Cyberpunk 2077 has officially sold 35 million copies since its 2020 launch.

This comes from the studio's latest financial results for Q3 2025, where chief financial officer Piotr Nielubowicz confirmed that the milestone was reached faster than The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt.

With this accomplishment, the CFO also confirmed that Cyberpunk 2077 is now the studio's "main source of revenue" as it continues to expand the game's availability.

Earlier this year, the game it released for the Nintendo Switch 2 as Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, then later on Mac, before it was made available on PlayStation Plus.

The new platforms, as well as the game's Phantom Liberty expansion made available in the Ultimate Edition, may have encouraged a boost in sales.

As of October 31, 2025, 135 employees were working on the Cyberpunk 2077 sequel, which is up from 116 in July 2025.

While the studio aims to scale up Cyberpunk 2 development, the financial briefing shows that the majority of CDPR's staff are working on The Witcher 4, with 447 people confirmed to be assigned to the project as of October 31, 2025.

There's no release date for Cyberpunk 2 or The Witcher 4 yet, but the next Witcher game is expected to release first, with CDPR suggesting that it's unlikely to launch before 2027.
