Here's How Much Cyberpunk 2077 Has Earned So Far
CD Projekt's RPG Cyberpunk 2077 got off to a challenging start in 2020 due to its many issues, but the game has rebounded since then and has now brought in more than 3 billion zloty ($752 million USD) since release. CD Projekt disclosed this in its latest earnings briefing.
A graph shows that Cyberpunk 2077's best year was 2020, when it earned $1.4 billion zloty ($351 million USD). Sales dropped off in 2021, but improved in 2022 and again in 2023. It's worth noting, too, that despite the game's issues, Cyberpunk 2077 sold 13 million copies right out of the gate in December 2020 to quickly become one of the best-selling RPGs in history. Thousands of people got refunds, but the game still started with a bang from a commercial perspective, and CD Projekt's executives were rewarded with big bonuses.
Of note, the 3 billion zloty figure includes sales of the game and its Phantom Liberty expansion. Like other studios, CD Projekt does not disclose game or marketing budgets. So while $750 million in sales sounds like a lot, there is no way to know how profitable the game is without accounting for what it cost to develop and market. Given that the game was in development for a very long time, it's a safe assumption that it carried a substantial development cost. Not only that, but CD Projekt's effort to turn things around after launch surely carried a not-insignificant cost.
