SuperData has shared its monthly report, stating that 80% of Cyberpunk 2077’s digital sales are from the PC. According to the company, Cyberpunk 2077 had the biggest game launch of all time based on digital revenue and digital units sold.
From what we know so far, Cyberpunk 2077 has sold 13 million units worldwide on all platforms.
In other news, Fortnite earnings were at their highest since August 2020 on both PC and consoles, and player numbers were larger than at any point since August 2019. As SuperData noted, high-profile events and collaborations continue to draw people to the shooter. In addition, Fortnite set a new record of concurrent players in December 2020 (15.3 million players).
It’s also worth noting that the release of the Cayo Perico Heist for Grand Theft Auto V resulted in the game’s highest monthly digital earnings ever. Player numbers also grew 46% from November levels but did not exceed totals achieved earlier in 2020.
Lastly, Among Us player numbers fell from their November peak. However, the game was still 2.8 times as popular as the next most popular game, Roblox.

And us pc gamers bought a broken tech demo designed for ancient hardware ???
Shameful truth
I agree that is broken, but in no way was this designed for ancient hardware. I mean, it literally has every modern graphical feature possible running all at once. Needs better CPU support, but that’s another thing.
but dude the game has ray tracing it might now have basic features that gta 3 and vice city had back in 2002-3 but it has ray tracing, for the price of 1000 gpu you can see your reflection on the puddles…so you can notice your character has no hair for some reason.
Yes i know you cant do that , but dont ruin the joke.
“If we talk about GTA IV running on X360 and PS3 along with GTA V on the same platform, your narrative breaks instantly.”
Nonsense, GTA IV is substantially more powerful than 5.
You see, lots of the attention to detail and higher % of enterable complex buildings in IV are precisely much more taxing on the CPU, which is why they were deleted in 5 , Rockstar felt like they needed a big map and most of the graphical updates were very cheap post-fx , nothing was seriously improved.
Many of the actual living city features were lost in 5 due to making the map larger, and in turn, it became a boring and dead map in singleplayer, so my guess is that they were planning on the map relying on multiplayer from the very beginning.
Terrible point to made there, other than that, i agree with what you said.
CP has tons of issues, visuals (on PC) are not one of them, like really not at all, and the density is just insane, there are a lot of reasons to properly bash this game, bashing it graphics is just total nonsense
I agree, a good thing to know is that Cyberpunk hasn’t been in development since 2012 2013 , that’s a misconception , the game has actually been in development since late 2018, but it was really put together in 2019, so really what was released was a game made essentially in less than 2 years, which would be impressive if the budget hadn’t been so high.
Lot’s of CDPR fans are hoping this turns out to be like No Man’s Sky … i really don’t know, i don’t see it.
btw i felt sad a couple days ago when i downloaded GTA IV on steam and saw it can’t be downgraded to 1.0.4.0 no more, now the only way to play the game in its best version is to pirate it entirelly.
Well i guess its alright, steam version for the normies and pirate for people with higher standars.
Bro what lmao it literally has every possible modern graphical feature how is it in any way designed for ancient hardware.
Even a 3090 struggles to run it with RT Psycho mode and it looks amazing maxed out.
They finally got a PC game with no downgrades and the hatred still fumes from their mothers basement. Can’t please these people man.
Because the average PC gamer is nothing but a disguised peasant saved by the downgrades he whines about, i bet you if TW3 kept the target trailers fidelity and melt their 120$ GPUs they’ll be crying like babies, nothing condescending here as i struggled with weak hardware when i was young too, the only difference is that i accepted the fact that good looking games are going to run like sh*t.
Yeah man, totally agree. make no mistake, I never expected this game to run on Ultra on my Vega 64 @1080p, 60fps. If it did I’d have some serious questions for CDPR. The game has problems for sure, no one is denying that, but the fidelity ain’t one of them. Respect as always.
Nah, the visuals are the only aspect from this game that look like from this decade..
Even tho, in most scenarios rasterization does a better work than raytracing (the game was clearly designed with rasterization in mind, and raytracing was added way later)
Interesting, how the only platform with a released DRM-free version of the game, is also its highest selling.
Interesting……………
-no drm
-cracked day 1
-broken mess
-still sold amazing
what is ea and ubisoft doing wrong?
It did have the hype but it didn’t have the reliability that stablished franchises have.
Far Cry 6 will not have as much hype, but they already know roughly what is gonna sell day 1.
It’s all about trade-offs , but sadly, EA and Ubi won’t change their policies.
Who’s still playing FC? Last time I gave a ratsass was back in 2013. Talk about running a franchise into the ground.
CDPR had the gamers trust where lets say the other after countless cash-grabs, copy & paste games along with significant downgrades from what was marketed (ubisoft, its a nice video of that on youtube) along with draconian drm don’t help their sales.
Question is how well cdpr will do the next time now that some trust have been shattered. I have no doubt they will fix most issues with C2077 but the shaky launch was significant enough to likely make many think twice before hitting that buy the next time.
Lol no more refunds! Some of those 80% are here in the comments trying to justify their sh*tty purchase.
No justification here. I enjoyed the game. Will do a 2nd playthrough after some more patches.
Good for you man. Many of us can’t enjoy unfinished low quality games.
I stuck with it for 90 hours and couldn’t do it anymore. Bugs aside, the game is clearly unfinished like you said and it’s obvious they cut a lot of content out to release it. I’ll never defend that
Makes sense. I am sure console gamers are probably waiting to play it on next gen systems and others were going to get it for christmas then changed their mind when it was revealed how terribly it played on old hardware.
Digital sales, not total sales.
We don’t do details or accuracy around here. Shush it. :p
Physical sales are irrelevant nowadays pretty much, specially on a game that requires you to update it from the get go to make it “playabe” on consoles…discs are basically decoration. And on PC? who the f*ck buys physical games besides collectors editions?
that is a myth. one day they will be but right now physical sales still account for as much as up to 40 to 50 % of purchases.
Source?
You don’t say..
pcgamer continue become cdpr dummies? filling their coffers for their false advertising and scamming the whole with that fake 2018 demo?
CDPR is taking this seriously but really they have no choice. Fines and lawsuits are pending. The consoles version is broken. The PC version is at least playable but still needs months more of patching.
I wonder if 8 million more people will pre-order the nevt CDPR game.
Yes i believe they will still pre-order. Pre-ordering has nothing to do with CDPR, it’s just people that love doing that SH*T & they’ll never stop; no matter the publisher/developer.
Lol, CDProjekt drones still being as brand loyal as ever
They’re on par with Bethesda, Blizzard and Bioware fans at this point
Imo Witcher 3 and AMD drones are by far the worst of the bunch
Kids today would choose Among Us, Roblox and Fortnite over things like Pokemon? Blasphemy!
it’s buggy but i really enjoyed.. just need time to be polished and it will be great..
I mean, Sony delisted the game, so it makes sense that the overwhelming digital sales comes from PC.
