CD Projekt Red confirmed that The Witcher 3 has shipped over 65 million copies worldwide, a milestone reached 11 years after launch.

The announcement came alongside the release of the free Next‑Gen Upgrade and the upcoming Songs of the Past DLC, while the studio reported $12.26 million from the IP in Q1 2026—a 36 % rise over the previous year.

Cyberpunk 2077 lagged slightly, bringing in $38.45 million in the same quarter, yet still posted a 4 % decline from 2025. Meanwhile, development gears shift: 513 staff focus on Witcher 4, while Cyberpunk 2 enjoys a 163‑person team.

These figures underscore the enduring profitability of legacy titles and the strategic allocation of resources toward next‑gen sequels, cementing CD Projekt Red’s position as a major player in the RPG market.
