CD Projekt's cyberenaissance continue today with word from the studio that Cyberpunk 2077 has now sold more than 20 million copies.
"Over 20 million cyberpunks have been roaming the streets of Night City—partying with Jackie and getting to know Johnny, driving around with Panam and diving with Judy, hanging out with River and listening to Kerry’s songs," CD Projekt tweeted. "Thank you and we hope to see you all in the Afterlife!"

Afterlife, by the way, is a nightclub in Cyberpunk 2077 that caters primarily to mercs and muscle.
Selling 20 million copies is a remarkable achievement that puts the game in some very impressive company, including CD Projekt's previous game, Stardew Valley six years to sell 20 million copies, for instance, while The Witcher 3 took four years; Cyberpunk 2077 pulled it off in less than two.
CD Projekt's official investor relations , which is normally a straitlaced source of financial and regulatory information for investors, analysts, and other business types, was having some fun with the big number too.

Cyberpunk's sales were certainly front-loaded: more than half were rung up PlayStation Store for much of that time.
Rather than taking the loss and walking away after the car-crash release, CD Projekt has skyrocketed, and it bounced back into the middle of Steam's top 10 games by player count, too—a hell of a comeback by any measure.
