After a decidedly rocky launch almost three years ago, CD Projekt Red has announced that Cyberpunk 2077 has now sold 25m copies.

This latest figure comes hot on the heels of the game's Phantom Liberty expansion, and that rather hefty 2.0 update that added new content to the base game. The developer also announced that Phantom Liberty sold 3m copies in its first week of launch.

The news was welcomed with many congratulating the developer on its latest milestone.

CD Projekt Red has been steadily improving Cyberpunk 2077 ever since its launch back in 2020, when it was released in a rather messy state. In fact, Sony even went so far as to delist Cyberpunk 2077 from the PlayStation Store.

According to CDPR's VP of PR and communication Michał Platkow-Gilewski, it actually became "a cool thing not to like it" after its release.

However, it has since seen a massive turnaround in fan opinion, with the game now sitting at a "very positive" aggregate score on Steam.

"You have no idea how much it means," quest director Pawel Sasko wrote back in July. "Thank you so much for all [these] reviews!"
