Despite Its Broken State, Cyberpunk 2077 Sold Nearly 14 Million Copies in 2020
Despite Cyberpunk 2077‘s issues at launch, the game has sold highly respectably, reaching 13.7 million copies sold by the end of 2020. As you’ll recall, the game launched in December 2020, so it managed to reach this milestone in less than a month. Along with that, CD Projekt Red announced that The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has reached over 30 million units sold worldwide. The company is planning to release next-gen versions of both games later this year.
