Cyberpunk 2077 had one of the worst launches possible, but developers can now smile from ear to ear with this news.
As we have said time and time again, Cyberpunk 2077 unfortunately crashed its release. The mountain of problems such as bugs common to all platforms, the botched PS4 / Xbox One version or a final game far from the promises made on certain aspects, have caused great harm to CD Projetk Red. Even though the studio was on top of the world after The Witcher 3. It’s nothing more than a bad memory and players once again trusted the Polish developers for the big Phantom Liberty expansion.
Crazy sales for Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty
The final monstrous patch released last December allows you to play Cyberpunk 2077 in the best possible conditions. Of course, it is not excluded that there are still problems here and there, but in any case, it is no longer the same game as in 2020. And that is a relief for everyone. world, especially for CD Projekt Red. Three years after the initial release of Cyberpunk 2077, the developers released the Phantom Liberty expansion. A very solid DLC which brings a new story, with the participation of actor Idris Elba (The Wire), a new neighborhood, skills etc.
It’s not a revolution, especially since the free 2.0 update alone already transforms the title, but the DLC is clearly qualitative. And this is probably what pushed millions of players to return to Night City and thus extend their journey alongside a renewed cast. Because yes, this is the good news of the day for CD Projekt Red, Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty has sold more than 5 million copies in 2023.
“Over 5 million agents have infiltrated Dogtown! Thank you all for your support – good luck on your mission” declared the studio on X. A massive record for a “simple” extension. For comparison, the main game has sold more than 25 million units (figures as of October 2023). Sales figures which bode the best for Cyberpunk 2, but also for the multiple projects in development at CD Projekt Red. A great revenge!
