LogInThe game reached this impressive milestone faster than The Witcher 3.
During CD Projekt Red's most recent Investor Day presentation, dedicated primarily to the recently released Phantom Liberty DLC, the studio officially announced that their futuristic action-adventure Cyberpunk 2077 surpassed 25 million units sold.
According to the company's President and CEO, Adam Kiciński, Cyberpunk 2077 achieved this milestone in approximately two years and ten months. In comparison, it took The Witcher 3 around four and a half years to reach the same 25 million mark, meaning that the sci-fi RPG that struggled immensely at launch has now outpaced the game many believe to be CDPR's masterpiece.

The development cost of the DLC amounted to roughly $62.7 million, with an additional $21.6 million invested in marketing. Within a week, the expansion sold over 3 million copies.

Besides announcing the game's sales numbers, CD Projekt Red also revealed that Cyberpunk 2077 will soon get a live-action adaptation, created in collaboration with True Detective and Mr. Robot producer and the studio behind The Revenant and Spotlight Anonymous Content.
Similar to Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, the anime adaptation of Cyberpunk 2077, the live-action adaptation will not simply retell the game's story. Instead, it will explore an entirely new narrative set in the rich world of Cyberpunk 2077.
