The Witcher might be a behemoth of an RPG series for CD Projekt Red, but it's official – Cyberpunk 2077 is now the "main source of revenue" for the company as it surpasses 35 million sales in just under five years.

In a new commentary video about the company's latest quarterly financial results, chief financial officer Piotr Nielubowicz confirms the hefty new sales milestone, adding (via English subtitles): "That's a better result than The Witcher 3 was able to achieve in the same post-release timeframe. Cyberpunk is now our main source of revenue, and we continue to expand its availability."

Of course, we've seen plenty of that expansion of availability happen this year, with the RPG's Switch 2 port and arrival on Apple Silicon-powered Macs. Nielubowicz also notes that Cyberpunk 2077's addition to the PlayStation Plus game catalogs for Extra and Premium subscribers "supported sales of the Phantom Liberty expansion on PlayStation consoles."

Even though Cyberpunk 2077 is now available to play via PlayStation's subscription service, Nielubowicz says CD Projekt has seen "stronger organic sales of Cyberpunk 2077 and Phantom Liberty on existing platforms compared to the previous year," so its PS Plus addition definitely hasn't been detrimental. As you'd expect, its sales were also boosted by the Switch 2 port.

All in all, it's a huge win for the team, which is sure to feel all the sweeter after the devs' immense effort to turn the RPG around after its notoriously rocky launch.

Looking ahead to the future, Nielubowicz also mentions The Witcher 4 – namely, its nomination for the The Game Awards 2025's "Most Anticipated Game" award. "This nomination – which comes despite the fact that we haven’t yet kicked off the game's proper marketing campaign – shows the extent to which the fourth instalment in The Witcher series is already hotly anticipated," he concludes.

Cyberpunk series creator Mike Pondsmith says he's watching Cyberpunk 2 closely at CDPR, just like he did with 2077: "People have been showing me what they're doing."
