Cyberpunk 2077 has now sold more than 40 million copies, 'a testament to what CD Projekt does best'

It's hard to imagine now, but Cyberpunk 2077 was an unmitigated disaster when it launched back in 2020. The PC version wasn't too bad, relatively speaking, but the console version was so wretched that Sony literally kicked it off the PlayStation Store. It was so far gone that several months after launch, with CD Projekt just beginning to start the work of cleaning up the mess it made, we recommended that it just fix the bugs and move on. Whoops.

I mention all this because that was then and this is now, and now Cyberpunk 2077—which these days sits comfortably with a "very positive" user rating on Steam—has surpassed 40 million copies sold.
