Cyberpunk 2077 has been through a lot since its release in 2020. From the initial anticipation to the launch disappointment, the game has come a long way in the past three years, with this journey being concluded by Phantom Liberty.
Being released in September, this expansion has marked the latest resurgence for CDPR’s RPG, ensuring it maintained 100K players on Steam well after the initial launch excitement and the positive reviews.
CDPR has just announced a new milestone for this expansion. Cyberpunk 2077 Phantom Liberty has sold 4.3 million units since its release.
Why it matters: These results signify CDPR has finally accomplished the goals it set out to achieve before the RPG’s release, engaging millions of new and old players in this universe.
Back in October, the studio announced Phantom Liberty had sold 3 million units. Nearly two months later, an additional 1.3 million expansions have been sold, carrying the game to new milestones.
Apart from this impressive sales figure, CDPR announced that the company experienced a record Q3, with revenue increasing by 80%. The developer also touts extremely positive user reviews for the expansion.
According to CDPR’s slides, 92% of last month’s reviews for this expansion were positive. Therefore, this earnings report has been bolstered by the expansion. Following recent sales, Cyberpunk 2077 also climbed to the top of Steam’s best-sellers.
With such incredible results, CDPR is ready to move on from Cyberpunk 2077.
While some may feel the developer left many promises unfulfilled, Phantom Liberty marks the final hurrah for this RPG, bringing its rocky journey to a satisfying conclusion in the gaming industry.
This expansion has also earned Cyberpunk 2077 a nomination for the Best Ongoing Game at The Game Awards 2023. While most titles in this category were live service titles, Phantom Liberty’s excellence allowed it to break into the nominations as a single-player release.
