New information on Cyberpunk 2077 sales has been released, confirming that the open world RPG sold 13.7 million copies by the end of 2020, after it released on the 10th December. Of course, the game's disastrous launch is well documented at this point — especially on PlayStation 4 — but it still made CD Projekt Red an awful lot of money.
Interestingly, 28 per cent of those sales were apparently on PS4, compared to 17 per cent on Xbox One. The majority of sales, perhaps unsurprisingly, were made on PC, which commanded 56 per cent of the total.
However, it should be reiterated that these are 2020 sales only. It's very likely that PS4 numbers dropped significantly once the Cyberpunk 2077 was removed from the PlayStation Store. It'll be interesting to see how well the native PS5 version of Cyberpunk 2077 sells when it's released in the latter half of this year.

I feel sorry for all those people on ps4
@Lucid_dream_14 all platforms*
$300m budget btw.
@Steel76 We'll probably never know, but I would hazard a guess that most PS4 sales of Cyberpunk were not refunded. Your average consumer generally doesn't chase refunds if there's any kind of hassle involved.
How many refunds🧐
28% on PS4 + 17% on XBox = 45% unhappy costumers
@mariomaster96 As I recall, the Xbox One X version of it ran pretty well compared to other console versions at launch.
Probably would have been 40%+ of total sales if it wasn't taken off the store.
@Ralizah Really? Cause as far as I remember the XOX also had heavy framerate issues. I thinkt the PS4 Pro was the last gen console with the best framerate (but that one had probably other problems like crashes etc)
I refunded mine on PS4 just as soon as I could - completely unplayable
Played it to death on PS4 and I'm actually thinking of buying it again for the Series S.
I bought it at launch its still unopened on my shelf waiting for the ps5 patch.
@Lucid_dream_14
Don't feel sorry for me, best game I've played in two years. You should try it.
Yeah because playstation took it off the store otherwise it would of been higher than 28%
@LordSteev I will when ps5 version comes out, definitely.
Cyberpunk could be great if you have the patience to play it. The constant crashes and npc's glitching during missions is really annoying. The combat system is mediocre but the story is enough to motivate you to finished the game. it's pretty much similar to The Witcher 3. Great storyline, mediocre gameplay.
This game deserves a second chance!
I do hope it get's a true fair shake on consoles when the PS5/Series X|S versions are released.
@Ithinkyousuck unsure of what you mean. I'm just saying that PS4 users are getting a bad deal compared to PC or next gen consoles (even now it still is night and day for old gen consoles compared to next gen) so I feel sorry for the people that payed full price and got screwed over. I for one will wait for the PS5 upgrade and play it then on my PS5...
I bought a ps4 copy and I don't even have a ps4
This is what failing upwards looks like.
Got it on a shelf.
Free game.
Refunded directly by CDPR.
When PS5 version goes on, whenever, I'll play.
@Steel76 most definitely weren't, because most people don't pay attention to gaming news or anything else, they just buy a game and play it
13.7 million people mis-sold a product.
For those asking about how many refunds. In the same earnings call about 30,000 copies were refunded. So just a drop in the bucket for them.
@Lucid_dream_14 ...no need to feel sorry for me - enjoyed it immensely and will have multiple playthroughs, a great single player experience. I feel sorry for those who slag the game off without ever playing it
@KingPev
Again, your taste is impeccable.
Well, goes to show you that hype and expectation will gloss over a bad game with tons of problems.
28 PS4 + 17 Xbox = 45 Console + 56 PC = 101%
I've played Cyberpunk on PS4 and PS5 and it was and still is an absolute disaster of a game. I would say it's the worst experience I've ever had, but it was amusing watching vehicles get launched into orbit or flung across the map randomly. I could make a list of the issues I had to put up with but I believe you get the idea.
I will wait for the Native PS5 version or I might buy it on PC once the game has been patched more.
@GamingFan4Lyf This!!
It's a shame the game ran as it did on the old-gen consoles, honestly it should never had been released there (I know I know 100M install base bla bla).
I played it on PC and it's one heck of a game. Absolutely loved the story.
@ApostateMage I would recommend this if you have a Series S - the framerate is a locked 30 and runs a lot better than the PS4 pro version with the newer CPU and SSD (similar GPU)
But if you can get it on PS5 play it there - That's a close to locked 60fps (I have it on Series S and PS5).
I am shocked at how many people didn't return this game.
@B_Lindz I tried to get a Refund for it but got turned down twice so in the end I couldn't be bothered chasing it up as it was too much hassle.
I don’t normally like to bash Xbox but that is just sad considering how early it was taken down from the PS store and never returned, but was left on Xbox to continue to sell digitally.
Even with just the PC version (7+ million) it crushed it.
PC gamers were never going to judge this game because of the Console version.
It is a good game - Wait for the PS5 version.
Played a bit of the prologue and some side stuff, but then shelved it until the native PS5 upgrade. Can't wait!...as the potential of the game was obvious, the soft low res is what annoyed me most visually and the HDR implementation was poor (played back compat on PS5 BTW). The few side missions I did were fantastic and reminded me of the open approach to missions Deus Ex touted. But yeh once it looks sharper and performs better I'm there, the architecture of the city itself is like nothing I've ever seen in a game.
@mariomaster96 I played the game Day 1 on Xbox One X and I didn’t notice any problems with the framerate - in fact, until I saw a video from Digital Foundry, I would have never known.
I was able to play start to finish with only one progress-breaking bug that was fixed with a simple reload.
@The_New_Butler less than 1/2%. Not bad.
@anon_pel222 +1 from me
@MatthewJP I have a PS4 but didn't buy a copy, we're even.
Refunded my copy but have played through it on my bro's PS5.
I made the right choice.
