Cyberpunk 2077 has sold over 13 million copies worldwide

CD Projekt RED has announced that Cyberpunk 2077 has sold over 13 million copies worldwide. According to the team, this figure excludes all the retail and digital refunds that all gamers have received thus far.

As CD Projekt RED stated:

“The Management Board of CD PROJEKT S.A. with a registered office in Warsaw (hereinafter referred to as “the Company”) hereby announces that, based on reports obtained from digital distribution platforms and data collected from physical distributors, it estimates that by 20 December inclusive gamers have purchased over 13 million copies of Cyberpunk 2077. This figure represents the estimated volume of retail sales across all hardware platforms (factoring in returns submitted by retail clients in brick-and-mortar as well as digital storefronts), i.e. the “sell-through” figure, less all refund requests e-mailed directly to the Company by the publication date of this report in the framework of the “Help Me Refund” campaign.”

In short, and what CDPR is trying to say, is that despite the controversy surrounding it, the game is selling like crazy. This of course does not mean that we recommend purchasing it. Even with Patch 1.05, the game has A LOT OF bugs, even on PC. Thus, we strongly suggest waiting until getting your hands on it.

On December 11th, CD Projekt RED announced that the game has recouped its marketing and development costs on day-1.

CD Projekt RED has released two patches for this game as of yet. Patch 1.04 reduced the vehicle pop-in issues and fixed some bugs. On the other hand, Update 1.05 improved default core/thread utilization for 4-core and 6-core AMD Ryzen processors, fixes numerous bugs, and removed the use of AVX instruction.

Lastly, the game has already received a number of mods. The most important, in our opinion, right now is the Enhanced Controls Mod.

  1. Still buggy as hell, and post 1.05 patch the game would crash and freeze at the loading screen. Had to completely uninstall and reinstall the game…If this thing even remotely as sighs and thinks it deserves GOTY awards I will proceed to go yell at the sky again.

    1. Have to agree. I’ve been gaming since before Pong. With RT off this title feels pancake, but with RT Phsyco, DLSS Quality and everything else maxed it’s the first to present an environment that feels real. Very impressed.

      Using a 3080 at 1440p with an old 3770k that needs an upgrade now, but I’m still getting 45-capped 60FPS.

      1. I’m calling BS. That looks exactly like the 2018 demo version vs the final product that Nick930 had in his direct comparison.

          1. BTW: you conveniently left out this part of my quote “that Nick930 had in his direct comparison.”

            So your monkey brain is able to quote me but not able to realize that absolutely nowhere in that comment I ever said they are using fake screenshots.

            GOOD JOB!

            I meant exactly what I wrote in the original comment. Are you capable of basic reading comprehension or are you just too emotional to handle different opinions?

          2. “I have no time for trolls, so it’s my last response to you.”

            So you never had anything to say instead of trying to sound smarter than you are. Good to know.

            I also have no time for trolls who are putting words into other people’s mouths.

            Get blocked kid.

      2. Yeah I can also take a Screenshot(s) of METRO Exodus in darker levels and make them more dark and say whoa that a Huge improvement, too much realism that I cannot handle as the OP indicates.. And of all DF ? Those f4ggots have lost their street cred long time back, now they are in the MSM friendly Shill club.

        4 Videos are up there for anyone to watch from various YTers rather than going for 30min trash fest of shilling from DF.

    2. My 2080 can barely run the game with RTX on, but it’s well worth the sometime drops to 40 fps to see it, especially at night when the neon lights reflect off the wet surfaces. Can’t wait until the 3080 ti comes out so I can toggle everything to “Psycho.”

      1. I just run RTX Reflections and Lighting at Medium. No Shadows as it tanks the frames hard especially in the city.

    3. Sure it has potential, and yes it looks very good on Ultra + RTX, but for now man it’s just a disaster on so many aspects, it doesn’t just require bug fixing, some aspects need to be completely redone from scratch and a lot of others need a serious overhaul.
      Hope they can get this game to stand on its fits, for now it’s just unplayable even for a straight rush of the main quest

      1. I don’t know. After 40 hours, I personally haven’t dealt with any gamebreaking glitches or bugs. Not saying there aren’t any for other people. But the time I’ve spent on it is enjoyable.

        Do I wish there was more? Sure. AI is almost non-existent, but it did improve on 1.05 a bit.

        I feel like the game just got released too early, but the majority of the game isn’t as bad as what the internet claims it to be.

        1. I’m mostly talking about the AI that is terrible in combat, and just atrocious in freeroam, also unbalanced difficulty modes, medium is so easy but hard is just ridiculously impossible.
          Other than that, the loot and clothing system are a joke, dialogue options so far seem so poor and not comment on the police…
          I’m not denying the potential, i just said it needs a huge amount of work and yes it’s not that atrocious, the internet is exaggerating as usual but something’s sure, it will never be as great as most people though it will be

          1. Hah, good thing I was never hyped to begin with. It contributed to my lower standards. I just expected the game to be Witcher 3, but futuristic and with guns, and it is.

          2. To be honest i was hyped until the E3 2018 trailer, after that all i wanted was a TW3 X Deus Ex gameplay, in the end that was GTA X Borderlands with Fallout 4 grade dialogue system.
            Nothing to do with the hype, but that’s just sad, maybe even depressing to see how broken the AAA industry and the gaming press is

          3. Your closing thoughts in this post I wholeheartedly agree with. And I think gaming is not going to get better. It’s a casual business now and all the usual suspects like dumbing down to appeal to the lowest common denominator come with its.

          4. “in the end that was GTA X Borderlands with Fallout 4 grade dialogue system.”

            Lol, this game is an insult to GTA, can’t say for the other games compared.

          5. “Hard is impossible” – what are you on about? Played 65 hours on hard and it’s so easy it’s stupid. It’s annoying because enemies are bullet sponges with no AI or sense of self-preservation.

            Apart from the facade of a big cyberpunk-looking city and story the game really has nothing to offer gameplay-oriented players. Hell, it’s like they took Observer’s scanning for clues system and added this and that from every other game while maintaining all the warts inherent to CDPR games and not improving on any of those aspects.

            But I agree marketing team deserves a ton of awards for generating Half-Life 3 levels of hype.

          6. I’m only on 10h, mostly free roaming and shooting stuff, kinda testing the game, i did some missions on the main quest (until the first Braindance mission)
            I’m going to uninstall it and wait a couple of months, i hope it will get better, seriously i kinda fooled myself by not expecting too much as a trick to get positively surprised nonetheless, but man that feeling of expecting nothing and still get disappointed is just something special lol

          7. seriously i kinda fooled myself by not expecting too much as a trick to get positively surprised nonetheless, but man that feeling of expecting nothing and still get disappointed is just something special lol

            I tried doing the same but I think subconsciously we still expected Deus Ex-like levels of tackling a problem in a world from the likes of GTA games. And the game fails at both really. On the surface it sort bears characteristics of both games. But if you dig deeper it’s facepalmingly flunks in both comparisons.

          8. Yep, that’s really sad, gameplay wise it seems to suffer in comparison with any title it took inspiration from

        2. 65 hours here with the only bug being a keycard that didn’t open the door it was supposed to. A work around was to club an object to the door to force it open.

      2. Im almost 15 hours in but still on first act due to enjoying the atmosphere of the night city while doing some interesting side quest (that Medicine Collect side quest sure devastate me) and no game breaking bug for me so far. Even on my modest R5 2600 + GTX1060 with the mix of high and medium graphics setting @1080p its still great looking. What aspect needs to be redone ? Its still playable, shooting is satisfying, some skill made me a bit OP of course, but finding how to combine skill to do it is still fun and satisfying when you finally found it unintentionally.

        1. What aspects to be redone ?? Well the AI is a complete mess, so is the police system, and the driving mechanics, especially the steering.
          These 3 aspects at least can theoretically be reworked and should be reworked to make the game decent and up to today’s standards, but for now i advice you to stop playing and wait a couple of months, you can only get a better experience if you’re patient, even if you’re enjoying it, you’ll enjoy it even more

          1. The steering is quite good in my opinion, with gamepad at least, never tried with K+M. I never expect and realized that police system exist though, is that supposedly work like in GTA ? Because during that 15 hours, I never try looking for trouble with the police.
            Regarding the A.I, is that in the open world section or the battle ? I found that they are quite serviceable enough in battle, they shoot, hide ,moving back when pressured, sometimes using camera surveillance to jack me, their sponginess also not a problem for me because its an RPG first and foremost, so they always tied to number behind the scene, and I can always try some creative ways to kill them instantly without need for a headshot. In open world section I never expect much since the beginning, so I didnt find them too annoying.
            My playing approach maybe a bit different than most people that dissapointed by this game, Im more playing it like in Modern deus Ex games (DX:Human Revs or Mankind) , the open world is just the giant Hub in my playstyle . While my playstyle in GTA or other open world of its kind is more like to test every possibility by going rampage, in CP2077 I never have any urge to do that.

          2. ” I never expect and realised that police system exist though, is that supposedly work like in GTA ? Because during that 15 hours, I never try looking for trouble with the police.”

            You’re literally saying “if you avoid the police, you’ll not get issues” Damn man seriously ?

            “Regarding the A.I, is that in the open world section or the battle ?”

            In battle the AI is just not good, most of the time they only relie on their spongy nature, in freeroam it’s a disaster, to the point where games from early 2000s are better, it kills all the work they did with the immersion and makes the game look really cluncky

            “the open world is just the giant Hub in my playstyle”

            It can be, but this is not done with that purpose, it’s not what the devs intended and of course not what they promised, it’s more like they tried to be GTA and failed, and that’s why it’s problematic

            “The steering is quite good in my opinion, with gamepad at least”

            The car physics are good, i mean, better than what we have in Watch Dogs and Just Cause, i’ll be brave and even say better car physics than The Crew, but the steering is too sensitive and believe me i tried with a controller too, and the bikes are goddamn bad, but i do think this particular issue can be adresses with some tweaks, that doesn’t mean we have to go the “good enough” route, if it can be better, ask for it

          3. “The car physics are good, i mean, better than what we have in Watch Dogs and Just Cause, i’ll be brave and even say better car physics than The Crew”

            Damn, are those games that bad? Now that you mention it, Just Cause 3 cars was really bad, worse than JC2.

          4. Nah WD 1 & 2 are very decent games, JC 2 & 3 are very good too IMO, i’m only speaking about the driving mechanics here, nothing else

          5. WD cars are very floaty and break almost instantly even when you’re 200mph+, don’t wobble when you’re running offroad, barely react to small obstacles, won’t bounce after a hard crash and don’t lose any grip even when lading after a jump, seriously i know hating on this game is trending and justified most of the times but let’s not lose objectivity if possible
            PS : I’m talking about driving physics BTW, the video is an overall physics comparison

          6. You’re literally saying “if you avoid the police, you’ll not get issues” Damn man seriously ?”
            Yeah, as far as that 15 hour thats just my playstyle, and Im didnt notice it so far.
            Regarding all other opinions I mentioned thats just how I felt and how I play. Im enjoying it , that Im ignorant ? Maybe, but I didnt need to dictate by others (including devs intention) on what Im enjoying and not enjoying in a game.

          7. “thats just how I felt and how I play”
            Good for you, but other people exist and they have the right to criticize the game for what it’s supposed to do, being happy with your game doesn’t magically make all people wrong, i shouldn’t avoid whole gameplay parts because they’re broken, they have to fix that because it’s supposed to work

          8. Yeah, and I dont try anything toforce other to enjoy it if they didnt want to or wrong them for that. And its also vice versa, if people enjoy it, we just didnt need to tell them not to enjoy that games because others didnt enjoy it.

          9. And if i want to enjoy it in the future can i criticize its issues so they can be fixed sir ? You’ll be able to enjoy it even more if they fix the game i guess, it’s a win-win, criticism doesn’t mean hate

          10. Hey, its up to you, no one gonna hold you down. I just enjoyed it as it is for now, and if they released more of it for the better, maybe Im gonna replay it with different prologue (corpo or Nomad)

        2. Im enjoying the city, the street and building especially, and how vertically stacked they are. For example, I remember saw a building , and apparently there are many ways to enter that building, we can go through other way and enter top parts of it by the bridge that can only be accessed through the market near the building, enter through the emergency stairs ,or we can enter it through the lift located on area below, thats enjoyeable than most building in other open world game I have ever encounter. Didnt knew what your expectation before, but I never expect living breathing A.I , they are mostly bullet sponge but I knew its not action games, there is stat applied on them all over the place, if we want to score one time kill there is a way to do it of course, and its an old fashioned RPG way.

        3. “What aspect needs to be redone ?”

          They need to implement several features like AI on NPC’s, and functional physics.

        1. WUT ? I didn’t even talk about performance on my comment, you stupid ?? Is your computer automatically fixing bugs and make the AI smarter ?
          Unplayable for gameplay reasons, performance is fine

    4. *police teleports behind you* Nothing personal, kid.

      Imagine getting easily impressed by graphics but turning a blind eye to the horribly programmed AI

          1. Bruh, you have cars spawning right in front of you making you crash. That’s “game breaking”

          2. It does? That sucks. Good thing it hasn’t happened to me yet. But that’s far from gamebreaking too. Gamebreaking bugs make it so you can’t progress through the game, effectively softlocking you.

          3. Only played a few hours and I experienced all of that. It happens during a mission as well.

            I heard the save file system actually brakes your game.

          4. Sucks on your game then.
            Also that save file thing is overblown. It only happens if you duplicate an item as that duplication exploit code doesn’t get removed in the code once you do it.

          5. It’s a joke buddy. Good thing I just pirated Cyberpunk. Imagine actually spending money on this trash lol

          6. Yeah any system that would dispell the illusion are considered bad, fascism, communism, etc. Commies nowadays are just larpers.

      1. “Imagine getting easily impressed by graphics”
        The problem with the gaming market, shinny things beats every other more important things like performance,AI,Level Design etc… specially when it comes to likes of CDPR. it’s not a game company, it’s a cult.

        1. I understand where hype is coming from with Witcher franchise becoming popular and what not, but this time CDPR bit off more than they can chew with this open world design. Also they prioritized diversity hires and being “woke” over sticking to their guns and making an average but good game.

    1. “This figure represents the estimated volume of retail sales across all hardware platforms (factoring in returns submitted by retail clients in brick-and-mortar as well as digital storefronts), i.e. the “sell-through” figure, less all refund requests e-mailed directly to the Company by the publication date of this report in the framework of the “Help Me Refund” campaign.””

      Apparently, it’s the number after the returns.

    2. Apparently people still enjoy playing this games despite constant complain in the internet land… And Im one of those people…

  2. and now we know why gta and red dead redemption sells.

    Oh well maybe this causes a cyberpunk revival and more games are made in that setting.

  3. There is still vehicle pop-in. I still enjoyed the game for what it was instead of wasting my time crying about it online.

    1. Well some criticism should be made though, that’s not just b*tching about a floating car or a glitchy NPC mate, the game has really serious issues aside from its buggy state, some of us only want this game to improve and we’re pointing out issues, i think it’s not a bad thing to get CDPR (the management team especially) on the ground and make them realize the dream is over and they have to work to pull this game from the mud, we can at least agree that the game is unfinished and released way too early huh ?

      1. If you buy a buggy piece of trash then they will only sell buggy piece of trash. Developers have 13 million reasons to do so.

    2. Sometimes the palm trees warp and bend over as I approach them, but I still love zooming around the city on a Kusanagi, especially at night.

  4. Just to piss off some of the people here(one made a huge list that includes legitimate bugs and issues, but to pad it up, added crap that is not true, like healthbar being a issue), I bought it, did not refund and I am enjoying Cyberpunk 2077.

    1. “added crap that is not true, like healthbar being a issue”

      Depends on how it is implemented, granted all games have healthbar, but a simple healthbar in 2020 fps just doesn’t fly, you need locational damage for headshots, limb shots and you could also add limb cutting like Dead Space, Binary Domain, with the enemy reacting different depending on what you destroy. Gonna bet CP doesn’t have any of that…

      1. Limb, body and head shots are all handled differently in Cyberpunk. Different weapons and perks/weapon mods have different impacts on damage depending on what part of the body is hit. Additionally, not only can you dismember your enemies and blow chunks out of their torsos or head, but the dismemberment looks different depending on what kind of weapon was used to cause it. Also occasionally enemies will get an arm blown off from something like a shotgun, get down to very low health, and continue fighting until you finish them off. Additionally the health bar indicates what sort of status effects are causing damage, both to you and the AI. Blood changes color to indicate whether or not somebody had a lot of cyberware, which is a nice touch.

        Not a lot of that is necessarily groundbreaking, but it is all in the game and handled well.

        How much were you betting? I’d like to collect now.

        1. “How much were you betting? I’d like to collect now.”

          Ok, you gain a upvote. But i didn’t find any footage of people fighting with their limbs off. In any case, it is serviceable, i still prefer RE2 dismemberment tough.

          1. If I can get it to happen again I’ll upload it to imgur and share it here. Its kind of cool. Of course I just ran into a game breaking bug in a main quest, so we’ll see what happens with that. :/

          2. I still have to see an AI that runs in desperation, trips on something on the ground(this case, was the body of a previous enemy), and then try to get up. Saw it happen once on Cyberpunk 2077, but I have never seen anything like this in any other game out there.

            EDIT: Made it happen a few more times, gotta love tight spaces where they can’t run away 🙂

          3. I once killed some gang members outside a store, and all the people in the store ran out and tripped over the bodies right outside the door. It was pretty good.

          4. Details like that is what makes the game so immersive. I wish it had more stuff, like the internet we got on GTAIV(by browsing and writing). But, regardless of all of that, it is awesome as is. If it had more, it would, easily, be game of the decade.

          5. I actually had one kill recently that looked pretty cool. I’m not aware of any mechanics that involve environmental damage except for explosions, but I gorilla arm punched an enemy, and their flinch animation made it look like they doubled over and hit their head on a nearby barrel, and knocked themselves out. The thing that reinforces the possibility that it actually happened like that is that they had a little sliver of health left after the initial punch and before they smacked the barrel. Who knows. Either way it looked cool and was a pretty funny moment.

          6. Binary Domain was quite good with this, the game encouraged going for headshots so the robots would start firing their friends, or shot the legs so the fast movers don’t swarm you, etc.

      2. “simple healthbar in 2020 fps just doesn’t fly,”

        Borderlands, Rage, Doom, many other games have that. Especially Fallout, which Cyberpunk is a bit similar, since both are RPG FPS.

        ” you need locational damage for headshots”

        Already there, I can one hit and kill a guy with headshot easily using a sniper rifle, or a smart sniper rifle.

        ” limb shots and you could also add limb cutting like Dead Space,”

        Dismemberment is present in game as well. It will even cause them to trip, limp, and other things.

        “with the enemy reacting different depending on what you destroy”

        Destroying stuff, attacking, or hacking, you can make even the turrets attack the NPCs. You can destroy a tank without firing a shot by hacking it, and causing it to explode, which will kill the NPC and alarm the others.

        “Gonna bet CP doesn’t have any of that…”

        How much do I earn on your bet?

        1. Dismemberment is present in game as well. It will even cause them to trip, limp, and other things.

          Severed limbs also spew either blood or white fluid depending whether it was fleshy or mechanical. A nice little touch.

    2. The campaign and missions are great. The game still needs work and i’ll gladly replay it again when it’s all fixed

      1. I agree, it needs work indeed! Lots of bugs, and annoying issues here and there, and I want CDPR to get cracking(After the holidays) soon. But, despite all that, the game is awesome!

    3. What are you doing posting this comment instead of playing the game then? seems like you are not enjoying it that much…what a pathetic life when the comments of some randoms in the internet gives you satistaction…

      1. In your twisted mind, one has to play the game 24/7? Can’t I enjoy reading articles from time to time? Researching stuff for my daily videos, or doing other chores?

        Are you this dense? You sound like a kotaku user.

      1. Frankly, I didn’t experience any problems with the release version(1.03) that I could spot. So I can’t say. Frames were always high from the get go for me.

        They ddid just release a hotfix for the save limit bug that fixes it with the 1.06.

    4. Bizarro censorship (some things are censored and others are not but at least the 1.05 patch notes imply official mod support in the future) aside, I am enjoying it. The level of detail in the city is astounding and every next street is different from the last. Everything has some kind of lore, even the random “Assault In Progress” missions.

      Now if only Night City had hairdressers.

      1. “Now if only Night City had hairdressers.”

        I wholeheartedly agree. Someone should set up a hairdresser there and will earn MILLIONS! Oh, and a car shop, to customize the vehicle and repair it, without having to depend on the respawn.

        It is absolutely a stunning game, and I love the details they added. I am one of those gamers that love to find about the lore in the game, by exploring. I go and stare at walls, paper clippings, and other stuff for it, and this game has it all.

  5. They better keep their heads low, change their management, fire their marketing team and fix the game instead of making such statement that looks more like a provocation or a troll in such context, what a terrible PR move

    1. I would do the reverse, promote their marketing team and fire the programmers that coudn’t implement basic functionalities.

      1. You’ll keep the marketing team seriously ? They seem like they didn’t even play the game or discuss with the devs, as for their excellent promotion of game it was mostly due to the success of TW3 and CDPR’s reputation, and of course the sh*tload of money they’ve got to promote it, i mean they already had a very good start

        1. Marketing did their job, hype the game to 11, sell 13 million copies. Programmers didn’t do their job for basic things. It’s that simple.

          I think they tought to themselves, “man, this game is so immersive people will not play it just for sh#ts and giggles, why bother with things like traffic, AI, etc.” Except it doesn’t work that way.

          1. “I think they tought to themselves, “man, this game is so immersive people will not play it just for sh#ts and giggles, why bother with things like traffic, AI, etc.”

            LMAO, you’re probably right

          2. There is some truth in that, people would fool around more in GTA 3 than in GTA4, but GTA 4 doesn’t dispell the illusion if you try to fool around.

          3. True, CP2077 should’ve use it RPG aspect to compensate for its awlful freeroam experience and people would easily forgive its issues, but even its RPG part is flawed

  6. Man, you are truly a gift to this site. Every comment you write is amazing copypasta material LOL.

    Quite possibly the dumbest yet funniest comments every time or your money back ?

    1. It takes next to zero effort to trigger you this is amazing ?

      It’s sad that you take things this seriously but it’s also hilarious, never change lmaoo.

  7. Honestly, the hype for this game worked, but it is still a low quality product that underperformed big time no matter how many copies sold.

  8. At first it’s underwhelming and way over-hyped by cpdr so they deserve the ridicule. As I get into it more and learn the systems better and just explore after getting through one of the endings it is pretty fun and looks amazing on newer equipment. It doesn’t do open worlds like RS does, no one can equal them but if you take that into account and say it’s a mix between DE and GTA with some FO4 in there with latest gpu demo graphics it’s a solid 8. Eventual DLC will be great too.

    1. I agree. A lot of the complaints I’ve read (not counting ones about stability and performance, which are very valid) make it pretty obvious that the player hasn’t gotten out of the first act and started seeing what the game has to offer. I mean maybe they couldn’t because their game wasn’t working well enough, but its a same to see criticisms of the gameplay that are based in pretty obviously limited amounts of actual play time. Despite what the promotional materials showed, you don’t start off the game as a badass. You’re a level one nobody who gets stronger as the game goes on, like in any other game I’ve ever played that has character progression. I think they did a great job with the character progression in the sense that by the time you get bored of the toys you have, you’ll be able to unlock something else and feel more powerful.

  9. The butthurt is strong with this one.
    I mean, the game is clearly not finished, but IF YOU HAVE PLAYED IT, you know the game is freaking awesome and have a huge potential (especially for modding).
    But no, let’s just go to a random site and b*tch about it like there’s no tomorrow.
    I think you should be more dedicated to your kinky latex stuff and leave games to gamers.
    ;D

  10. – Have you looked at art ? Cars have headlights on one side and none on the other side,

    You know someone is grasping at straws when they complain about some futuristic car design hahahahahaha
    Some do, some don’t. Most have the headlights lower on one side, the other side higher. Some have a weird sensor to it. I like it. Go play the game, and you will see that most of what you said is hilariously inaccurate 😛
