CD Projekt Cherry-red released Cyberpunk 2077 to solid critical reception on PC, but that praise was muted on consoles. The rampant technical issues acquired quite the controversy at the time, with Sony pulling the game off of the PlayStation store. In spite of all of those problems, it seems like the game continues to do reasonably well for the studio.

Prior to launch, it was reported by CD Projekt that Cyberpunk 2077 had eight million pre-orders beyond all platforms. That easily outpaced The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, the developer'south previous release, and suggested that Cyberpunk was on its way to being a commercial hit. The technical problems certainly hindered those sales, only CD Projekt has announced today that Cyberpunk sold more than than xiii.7 million copies in 2022 alone.

That's a massive number that most games can merely promise to hit. Seeing Cyberpunk become there even with all the controversy is undoubtedly impressive. That said, yous have to wonder how many more than copies would accept been sold if the game had shipped in a meliorate state. Of course, CD Projekt hopes that they'll eventually recoup those potentially lost sales once the game is fixed upwards.

Fortunately for fans, Cyberpunk 2077 is slowly getting in that location. The studio released patch 1.2 last month and work to implement all of the needed changes continues. In a few months, nosotros could exist looking at a complete turnaround from where the game was last December.
