Cyberpunk 2077 breaks a sales record and becomes the largest RPG launch of all time. Here are the numbers.
Perhaps the Cyberpunk 2077 game is one of the most controversial titles in 2020 due to the unsuccessful launch as expected, especially for the home appliance version, some of which were withdrawn while its money was recovered due to technical errors that made it unplayable on these devices.
But despite that, the game has achieved unrivaled success and won the title of the best RPG release ever, as according to the statements of the developer studio, the game managed to sell more than 13 million copies during the first 10 days of its launch in the market, and this number made it surpass the game that was It has this title as the best release of the RPG game Fallout 4, which has sold 12 million copies.
Recently, after its withdrawal from the PlayStation Store, Sony began to open the door to recovering money for everyone who wishes to do so, while Microsoft also made the same step without the need to withdraw the game from its store, and therefore these numbers revealed by the studio today include part of the money that will be recovered.
At the same time, the game is still available for sale on PCs and Xbox devices, and therefore these numbers may not be affected much by the step of returning the money to some users.
It is noteworthy that the game also achieved a great achievement during the pre-order phase, where more than 8 million copies were sold, with revenues of more than half a billion dollars.
Studio CD Projekt Red promised to release more updates that will fix the game, especially the home app version, while work on the additional content that was supposed to arrive in the game during 2021 has been postponed, focusing instead on game updates and fixing problems.
